dream far kid learn sponge wants
She?s a kid that wants to learn and a kid that wants to be coached. She is a coach?s dream as far as she is a sponge and wants to learn and always get better.
coach exciting front learn pleasure seniors
It's been a pleasure to coach these seniors and learn from them. It was exciting to see them go out in front of 10,000 people.
coach excited extremely game learn pleasure
The only thing I want to say about this game is I was extremely excited for our seniors. It's been a pleasure to coach them, and it's been a pleasure to learn from them, too.
good learned
What I learned about this team, and what we all learned about this team, is we're not as good as we need to be right now.

Liz can no longer be a role player. She's learned the last couple of weeks that she has to be become a primary scorer for us.

We just wanted to show 12,000 people what we were all about. That's hard work and second effort and just a lot of energy out there.

dug five hole knew offensive ourselves six time tough turn win
Five of our first six possessions were turnovers. We dug ourselves a hole very, very quickly. It was 10-0 before you knew it. But any time you turn it over 24 times and give up 18 offensive rebounds, it's going to be tough to win on another team's floor.

Right now, Washington is the best team in the country to us.

Bolden did a great job on Crystal last year at our place. She went 2 for 14, and I think that was a difference. Shannon is a really intelligent player just with her length, (Smith) had to shoot over a 5-11 player with her hand up, I think that bothered her a little bit.
consistency kindness lack ongoing point rather
At this point of the season, you would rather not have to make these kind of moves. But as a coach, you find yourself making adjustments all year. Our lack of consistency has been an ongoing thing all year.
bench figure percent production
You got to go with what has been working and I think right now, if you figure out the percentages, we were getting 50 percent of our production from our bench and 50 percent from our starters.
