Famous Quotes & Sayings

Bruce Bochy

We had a possible play set for our two guards to come in from the 3-point line, and actually I told Holly and Shannon (Daley) that if the ball was soft, they were going to try to tip it right back to Michelle at the foul line.

We had a play called; if it didn't work, we wanted to hold the ball for the last shot.

We had an opportunity to go up 10 and turned the ball over. Our biggest problem was in the second half when we didn't make defensive stops when we had to. We did it the first quarter and second quarter, but we did not make defensive stops in the second half.

We had an interception on our third offensive play, and they scored one play later. The first play after that, we fumbled, and they ended up with the ball in the end zone. We were just our own worst enemy.

When they didn't double him, we tried to get the ball to him as much as we could. We try to get him the ball anyway, but it was a benefit when they're not doubling him.

When they come out at the start of the game shooting the ball the way they did, that's not the order of things. They banged shots early, we fell behind and we couldn't control tempo.

Steve McNair

When they are playing the cover-two and all of a sudden it's 3rd-and-2 and they play cover-two and they lock you man-to-man with the outside receivers, it forces you to throw the ball inside and forces you to take small yards at a time. We had opportunities to get the ball to the receivers. I think I missed a couple with Brandon Jones. We are doing what the defense is forcing us to do.

LeBron James

When you're running the ball so successfully and getting a lot of five-, eight-, 12-yard gains, after a while that time starts to tick away. If we could do that every game, that would be ideal.

Terry Stotts

When you're not shooting the ball well, you have to defend a little harder and we just couldn't quite get there.

When you're not scoring runs, one error is going to cost you the ball game. It's not like we're not playing well, we're just not getting critical hits or playing right when we need it.

When you're not getting base-runners, it makes for a long day in the field at times. I thought Kim and Jen each pitched well, they didn't walk a bunch of hitters. Valley City hit the ball really well. We're looking at trying to get better and playing these teams will help us do that.

Jim Calhoun

When you watch Roy play, you're watching, really, from a coaching standpoint, everything you want a player to be. He can pull up and make mid-range shots. He can pass the ball. He can rebound. He plays with great composure. He seems to want the ball in tough situations.

I wasn't brought up as a society girl to go to balls and be a debutante and marry the social set and money and go to parties. No one in my family lived like that. And I never wanted to live like that. I was brought up to believe in work. I always wanted a career. Always.
