changes good knew needed replace trade
Yolanda's only thing when I started making all the changes was she requested that I trade her because she thought that I was rebuilding, ... We had an old team; she knew we needed to rebuild, get younger. I told her, 'I'm not going to trade you. You're too good and I can't replace you, and I'm not rebuilding, we're just reloading.'
against boards close good key kicked shots stops
We kicked them good on the boards and that made up for some of it. We had some key stops when they got close and we got good shots against them. Now we go home, and we have to play better.
becomes facing good known plays shoot team
When you shoot the ball, everything becomes easier. We're facing a team known for its offense, but Connecticut plays pretty good defense, too.
good held obviously points
Obviously this was a good win. We held them to 34% shooting, 59 points and outrebounded them by 14 (36-22).
chosen good honored
No. 1, I'm honored to be chosen in such a good league,
balls cares coach compete gets good hard head knows liked loose outside pass plays question shoot shown size
I've always liked her. She's got her head in the game, plays hard and plays for a good coach. She knows how to compete at the championship level. My only question is why she didn't play outside at that size. But the way she rebounds, who cares what size she is. She gets rebounds, loose balls and she's shown that she can pass and shoot from out there, better than some of us thought.
good hired job
That's why she's our hired gun. They had done a good job on Nicole, but I told her to keep shooting.
decent good
The good thing is they come back in decent shape.
afraid beat foul happened shooting worse
I was afraid we'd foul them shooting and we'd get beat that way. (In) hindsight, it couldn't be any worse than what happened to us.
encouraged holding instead last minutes tight
We encouraged them to come back instead of getting them down and holding them down like you would like. I'd like to have the last 3 or 4 minutes over. We got a little tight with the ball, and I was encouraging them to attack.
amiable best both direction henry regarded situation understand
We will regroup, ... This, in no way, will be regarded by us as a firing. We both understand that a different direction would be best for both Henry and the Sparks. It is an amiable situation for us both.
both chelsea effective
Kara and Chelsea can both play point, but they're more effective at the other guard,
final four minutes
I would like to have that final three, four minutes back,
concerned driving great keeping lindsay paint proven
Lindsay has proven that she is a great creator, facilitator for her team, and her replacement has not proven she can do that yet. But we'll still be concerned about keeping them out of the paint and driving them nuts.
