The sky is the limit for Dina. She has tremendous potential and ability and soaks everything in we tell her. You can see she loves track.
I knew for a while but I didn't want to tell anybody. We came out here and practiced with Spud and everything went great.
I let the game come to me and get everybody involved.
I'm pretty far along, but I still got a long way to go. Coach says I have to take it in steps and it's something I'm learning to do every day, just come in and pay attention more and more to details, the little things I can do to make myself better.
It was a great day. I pretty much let the game come to me. I was just trying to get everybody involved. We just waited on the bench for our numbers to be called. Today was a great day to showcase our talent.
It's hard -- they shouldnt have even made that,
It seemed like they could look at each other and not call a play and know exactly what play they're running. They are so poised.
We had to get in touch with him, so we did and he was like, 'Yeah, sure.
Even though it was a negative thing that happened, I wasn't feeling too bad, 'cause a positive thing came out of it, ... I don't fault Miami for anything; I'm just here at Rutgers, at home, where I'm happy.
Every time Coach talks to me he says listen to the message, not how it's said. It's kinda hard to really listen to exactly what he says instead of taking it personally, trying to do everything right for him and it's not good enough. At the same time you can't look at it that way. You've got to look at it like he's trying to help you.
The whole time from when I was selected for it, I've been watching film of Spud Webb.
Iverson was telling me to listen to him because he's going to make you better. I just try to picture Allen saying it instead of Coach because then I can relate to it because I know he's been in my same shoes.
This is something I dream about. Hopefully, kids go out there and one day want to be like me. Hopefully I can just go out there and just send a message to some of these kids that, even though you're small, you can mean so much more to yourself and your friends and family and to people all across the world.
Coach just said, 'Get a hand up,' and I was right there. I just stayed in front and backed him up, and he took a desperation three. But he made a good shot.
