ability encouraged focus free half impressive knock lauren open second shots throw
In the second half we encouraged (Lennox) because we know they would focus in Lauren Jackson. Most impressive on her play was her ability to to knock down open shots and get to the free throw line.
agents develop expect foolish free players point position
Leah or Erin could develop into what we need, but at this point, it's foolish to think that two inexperienced players are the way to go. Expect to see other free agents at the point position come through camp.
articulate few inside life
It's one of the few times in my life ... when you try to articulate what's going on inside and I don't think it's possible. This is up there for me.
adjustment alone camp huge rookie
I don't want to write Erin and Leah out of here. It's just a huge adjustment here for any rookie in camp -- let alone at that position.
experience feeling good last record says year
I think internally we're all feeling really good about it. To know that we accomplished the same record as last year with the experience we had, it says a whole lot about those 11 players.
betty everybody kept stepped sue
Sue went to a different level. She got everybody organized, kept everybody focused, moreso than a regular-season kind of deal. Betty stepped up verbally, so yeah, it's a different gear.
sitting stunned
I was stunned. I was sitting over here (on the sideline) stunned that it was happening.
doubt dragging worked
I was dragging my feet. There was never a doubt that it wasn't going to get worked out. I'm happy. Very, very happy.
add compete field good marvelous obviously parker players september team veteran younger
Parker obviously had a marvelous tournament, and we got good contributions from the other ones as well. We're in good shape; you add our veteran players with our younger players, and we'll field a good team in September that will really compete hard.
awards mean personal
I downplay (the 100th win) because for me, personal awards don't mean a whole lot. Championships are what I'm about.
offensive rebound talk three
Betty's three is what everyone will talk about, but (Burse's) offensive rebound was huge.
continue deserve given good male men success talk women
I think all I can do is to continue to talk about it, and I'm not male bashing. Good men deserve opportunities, but good women also deserve opportunities, and they can have success given the right situation.
hope mentally ready
The hope is when we go back to Seattle, we can use her even more. She was doing everything. If she's mentally doing those things, she's ready to play.
experience filling gone season terms valuable
She is so confident, so cool. She's so much a starter. You don't look at her and think she's just a replacement, filling in for Betty. The season has gone really well in terms of getting her valuable experience this year.
