allowed boys coach female honor kids woman
The honor for me is that these boys allowed me to coach them. These 12 boys allowed this female to coach them. That is what everyone is missing. The honor is being able to see these kids get to a championship game, not to be the first woman to get here.
active hate intense player sure touch
I know that I would hate to have Nate guarding me. He is an active and intense player, and I know if I tell him that this player doesn't need to touch the ball, that Nate will do all he can to make sure that it doesn't happen.
amazing great group kids lately mean moment share word
It's something you can't put in words. You really can't say how much that would mean for us. To share that with this group of kids would be amazing - that word has been said a lot lately around here, it really would be one great moment in time.
african basketball caucasian coaching concern excited means team
It was never a concern for me. It never excited me. I just look at myself as another basketball coach. Being an African American coaching a Caucasian team means nothing.
coming concern continue kids work
There is always a concern going into every game. There was concern coming into tonight's game, and there will be concern going into Friday's game. You can always find something to work on, and these kids know they need to continue to get better if they want to win.
chance eat hungry wait
I can tell you right now that I am still hungry for another chance at this. And I know I can't wait 31 years to eat again.
develop excited glad grow hard life move opportunity six state taught watch wonderful work
It's going to be hard for me because I have had the opportunity to work with six wonderful kids. They have all taught me something about life and to just watch them grow and develop is amazing. I am excited for their future. So tomorrow, I am glad to be in the state championship with them, but it will be hard to see them move on.
girls society sports suppressed
It should be inspiring, especially for young girls in society today, because they are so suppressed in the sports arena.
ask dave example happy kid perfect team truly wants whatever
Dave is a perfect example of a kid that just wants to do anything for the team. He does whatever we ask of him and he's just happy to do whatever he can do for the team. He truly is a team player.
carried chance continue deserved guys last team time
They got us started. They put this team on their back and carried us last year. It is unfortunate that they never got a chance to play at the Breslin because they deserved it. The time just wasn't right, but the time is right now, and these two guys are still a part of this team and still continue to be leaders.
came cocky executing game good job kids tonight
We are a good team, but we are not a cocky team. We know going into every game that we need to play our best, and tonight the kids came out and did a good job of executing the game plan.
kids talk
When you talk about championship basketball, it is not about the skill, it is about the will. It's about being determined, and these kids are determined.

In this game you can't look past anybody. Everybody wants to win and everybody is going to bring their best, so we have to be prepared to play our best, and tonight, we came out and played our best from the start.

Caleb is obviously going to be a factor. But I believe the other kids who worked hard in practice every day are going to contribute too.
