exception
With the exception of North, there wasn't any place where we didn't have to do a lot of scouting.
east plan playing since team time worry
East is back. This is the first time since we were playing them six-on-six that we had to really plan for them. Same thing with Hoover. They used to be a team you didn't worry about, but not anymore.
ahead bad beginning gets girl herself might misses people seen shots sit takes
At the beginning of games, she sometimes gets ahead of herself and takes some bad shots and misses a few. Some people might think, 'She's missing. Sit her down.' Uh-uh. I've seen what that girl can do. I just sit back and be patient. It'll come.
kid pleasure
You get a kid like that, just a pleasure to coach.
ball hold shot turn
We were going to guard, hold them to one shot and not turn the ball over, which we didn't always do.
good shot work
I did the same thing ? tell them to work for a good shot ? and I think we're getting better at that.
She did what she always does. She's in there to shoot.
best lives loves
She has to be one of the best ones ever...she lives and breathes and loves basketball.
coaching definitely division girls
She has to be one of the best, if not the best, that I've had in my 28 years coaching at Lincoln. I've had 11 girls go on to play Division I, Kristin could definitely be the 12th.
great speaks talk
She's a great kid. If you talk to her for a while, you'll see she's a character. She speaks her mind; you never know what she's going to come up with.
bunch fed good happy kids plays short
If I said it was mind-boggling it would make a good story, but it wouldn't be truthful. She didn't make a whole bunch of extraordinary shots. We have plays that set her up for short shots. The kids fed her, and she was happy to receive.
believe happen
Unbelievable, I just couldn't believe anything like that would happen to her.
afford five improving looking lose straight won
We're improving every game. We've won five straight (titles), looking for No. 6. We can't afford to lose any more.
except
You didn't used to get that in the Metro, except for me.
