courtney leadership learning open role team wants willing works
There's nothing about Courtney that's typical. She works hard, has been willing to take on a leadership role as a freshman, is open to learning new things every day and wants to make her team better.
elderly faces grow help homeless majestic middle needy together trees
The trees in the middle grow majestic because of it. How important it is that we all get together and help those nameless faces to grow ? the elderly and homeless and the needy ?
courtney dominance freshman reflected selection small sure
I've never had a freshman like Courtney Paris, and I'm not sure there's ever been a freshman like Courtney Paris. I think her dominance was well reflected in that small little selection show that we had.
along bad course freshmen happen kid kids million night regardless seen
I've never seen an 18-year-old kid do it night in and night out regardless of the circumstance, regardless of the venue. Kids get sick, they have tests, they have distractions, they have a bad night. There are a million things that happen to freshmen along the course of the season.

This atmosphere and this environment was the best possible preparation we could have for the NCAA tournament.

They sent a lot of defensive looks at her. In the first half, she panicked. We just told her to be patient, to pass or fake and go in to score. That forces other teams to make decisions.

graduation guard kid looking point
If we know we've got one graduating, we're looking for another one. It's like getting a point guard or a shooter. It's a kid with an edge. You have to have some of that.
care gotta rise tough
I don't know what it is, and I don't really care what it is. It doesn't matter. It's gotta stop. You've got to be tough enough to rise up and make a play.
consistency display history looked point remarkable throughout
I don't know that any of us could have ever looked at any 18-year-old kid, at any point in the history of this game, and thought that they could display the consistency that she has displayed throughout this season. That, to me, is a remarkable thing.
