It gives us so much confidence to score like that. If we can get easy scoring like that, it takes pressure off of our perimeter game.

Brian Freeland

We're hoping to consolidate (the fires) and certainly the perimeter edges of those fires before the temperatures peak back into the 40s later in the week.

Graham Fountain

Our ball movement was crisp. We were moving it around the perimeter and then moving it inside. These guys are very unselfish. It's not a matter of who gets the points as long as the team gets a W.

Grant Spaite

I just shut her down on the perimeter. She doesn't like to drive to the basket.

Brittany Janz

Defense was the difference in the game. We did a good job on the perimeter and we never let them get the ball inside.

Billy Pee

We had to pick our poison: Do we cover the perimeter or inside? They shot the ball extremely well and Devlin was just too strong for us.

Tim Mcconnell

Orange has some nice guards. Starks, Minor, and Hunter are probably the best combination we've seen on the perimeter all year.

Scott Mankins

We have to have guards. We'd like to play that pace, but our depth is an issue. When you rely on the perimeter shot as much as we do, you're probably going to be inconsistent.

Brent Norberg

With wireless access coming in, it's a leaky perimeter now, so you need to be able to protect what's inside. That's the area where we are going to go to next.

Gareth Jones

We missed some defensive assignments, and they took advantage of that. They made some shots and got some open looks. Canisius is very good on the perimeter, and they penetrate and do a good job of passing. Give Canisius credit, we made some mistakes and they made us pay for it.

Joe Logan

We expected almost anything from Upper Dauphin defensively. We ran a perimeter offense against it because Tyler feels more comfortable in it and he was getting some good looks.

Kent Houser

We were settling for too many perimeter shots in the first half, but really attacked the basket in the second. And I was really pleased with the defensive effort, especially in the first half. We allowed few open looks.

Rob Durling

One of our goals was to try and frustrate them (on the perimeter) and I thought we had some success.

Blair Albright

For two years, she was a spot-up shooter, and now we have to run her off screens to get her open, she has to handle the ball and she is our top perimeter defender. She has elevated her game and been a really good leader for us.

Ann Mcinerney

I don't have a problem with that. Guarding perimeter players is not a problem.

Dante Cunningham

We did not contain their perimeter people and we put them on the line too many times.

Bev Smith

She has been coming on lately. When she gets confidence she is pretty deadly from the perimeter.

Krissy Kukar

It was the first zone we saw all year. That was a good job by their coaches. When you're spotted up around the perimeter everybody thinks that they can hit one.

Bill Prince

We had to get back to attacking the basket. We got our perimeter shot going from the outside, and we drove the ball inside and then kicked it back out for the shot.

Cole Maxwell

Debbie is a good shooting guard, who will fit in well on the perimeter. She possesses excellent court awareness and leads by action.

Dana Eikenberg

We ask Jill to do so much. She doesn't just have to score. She has to guard the perimeter, she has to help us break the press, she has to play outstanding defense.

Kathy Lanter

We've got good perimeter shooters. We're one of the best perimeter shooting teams I've coached.

Tom Suelzle

We didn't have a lot of good shot selection early. We've basically lived or died with the perimeter people.

Scott Preuninger

We knew we were going to have to run the offense more and move the ball quickly around the perimeter to create shots. We were patient and took good shots.

Al Gooden

We got a little bit away from ourselves, taking perimeter shots when we should have been attacking the basket. That's when Roosevelt got the lead.

Doug Pesicka

You look at Wilt and how dominant he was inside, this guy did it from the perimeter. So it puts an added significance on it. So it has to be, in my mind, the greatest feat that has ever occurred in the NBA.

Paul Silas

We focused on penetration. It really opened up a lot of shots. We're not a (perimeter) shooting team, so we can't rely on that.

Sarah Russell

I was really mad with my girls because we talked about challenging the outside and switching on screens and they just didn't get it done. I know Latrobe shoots very well and you can't give them open looks from the perimeter and we did early on.

Tim Kimmel

We talked about making them hit from the perimeter if they were going to beat us. We just did not want to give them anything inside.

Mike Weiss

We're going to have our hands full on the perimeter, but we're going to try to attack them, too.

Katie Gearlds

The challenge for Check Point is to get beyond the perimeter. They went out to the endpoint. Now, they have to defend the core, and when you do that, you need to look at more passive monitoring solutions.

Pete Lindstrom

It's hard to determine what we would face with them. I do know they have quick guards and two good outside shooters that are strong at the perimeter.

Roy Pinkston

That's the first time I've seen that. I guess they wanted to stay out on the perimeter and guard us and guard him one-on-one. I guess they see that's kind of hard to do.

Keith Bogans

St. Francis is an outstanding team. The key for us will be how well we shoot the ball. If we can shoot from the perimeter, we've got a chance.

Keith Haske

(St. Edward) beat us off the ball on the dives, we couldn't defend the perimeter, we couldn't knock down a pass, but other than that it was a pretty satisfactory day. I'm not mincing words. That's what I saw and that's what I was watching for two and a half hours out here. We've got to get better on defense. We're not very good at it.

Mike Curry

We just played with more focus today. We worked the ball really well around the perimeter, and we hit our shots.

Jordan Hammond

Our defense was very good today. We did a great job of denying the perimeter and we were able to force a lot of turnovers.

Mike Bauer

When you have injuries, other guys get a chance to step up and I thought all our perimeter guys played well, most of the time.

Mark Slotsve

They'll play five players on the perimeter. I don't know how much they can help us.

Tommy Aldridge

We have been concentrating on crowding people on the perimeter with our size inside.

Tim Parrinello

She's really a perimeter and pull-up shooter. When she hit those '3's, we knew we had to give up something. We were going to give her that shot all night. But she did what good players do.

Matt Kordsmeier

We were hoping for that. We only saw them once this season and their guard shot it pretty good. Our concern was keeping them on the perimeter and off the boards.

Danny Starkey

We started getting better looks. We got better shots (in the paint), so when that happens you get good shots from the perimeter.

Jeff Brustad

We're a perimeter-oriented team, so anything we get down low is very helpful. They defended Kyle pretty well ? Brunswick is a good defensive team ? but Nick really came up with some big plays.

Joe Lynch

They are hard to guard on the perimeter as Pacific found out.

Bob Burton

The other exciting thing about this phase is we'll be installing benches and lighting around the perimeter, which were intended to be installed in the original plan but were cut because of budget restraints.

Lisa Schroeder

We're more concerned with the closed areas within the perimeter.

Anita Allen

That's what we've got to get them to do. They're going to have to carry some of the heavy water until we find some rhythm in the perimeter game.

Lori Kerans

What we have to do is maintain or limit their perimeter play . . . and try and keep them from getting a lot of points on the inside. Hopefully this time around, we'll make them play our way instead of playing their way.

Pam Taylor

He gets off the ball really quick. He's not a stopwatch kid but within a 10-yard perimeter of the offensive linemen's home, he gets it done.

Jeremy Brown

She said they're a perimeter team .... They're scrappy, and they push the ball up court on the fast break. And they're tough.

Rita Atkinson

We like to match up and disguise our zones. We wanted them to become a perimeter team and give them the outside shot but always have someone in their face contesting every attempt.

Don Byron

I thought we moved much better in the first half. We did a good job of perimeter shooting in the first half.

Mike Hultz

When your perimeter shots aren't falling, you've got to attack the basket. We wanted to try to pound the ball inside.

Darwin Hofer

Newark Valley is big inside, and they got a lot of good looks and offensive rebounds. We really struggled from the perimeter.

Lou Judson

We set up a perimeter to guard our vehicles; make sure they weren't torched or stolen.

Scott Stauffer

We had hoped that we could give him a little help. But they shoot the ball so well, they have kids other than him that can shoot the ball from the perimeter which takes away some of the opportunity to help. We felt our best bet was to keep the ball out of his hands.

Ralph Larson

It would be a much easier task if this was just about higher fences and tighter perimeter security. But it's not that simple.

Rick Engler

There's a 10k (6.2-mile) hike, a 5k (just over three miles) and a short, interpretive hike around the perimeter of the lake, led by a naturalist.

Bridget Derrick

They got out on the perimeter and spread us out pretty well. We just didn't shoot very well offensively.

Steve Botkin

It's a 2-foot concrete perimeter wall that goes down below the slab. It defends the slab from water.

Bob Vila

I think we played well down the stretch. Our guards need to be more aggressive and drive more from the perimeter.

Melanie Balcomb

The perimeter firewall doesn't protect you from the bad guys inside the network. But people should not be replacing perimeter firewalls with distributed ones.

Raphael Reich

It's just effort. I know that guys are going to look for me down there when I post-up. I've been watching film with the coaching staff, and they said I haven't really utilized it. I've been hanging around the perimeter too much.

Troy Murphy

Their offense centers around penetration, draw-and-kick. Almond is one of the best two-guards in the conference so we have to focus on him and take the perimeter guys out of the game.

Jarekus Singleton

We didn't deal with their pressure. They've got length to their team and we were too much on the perimeter.

George Dudas

We just wanted to come out tonight and start it up. They were feeding us the ball from the perimeter, they're always confident in us, but they're even more confident when we're producing.

Torin Francis

You can't be all things to all people. I'm sure if Herb had his way, he'd like to have more rebounds. But when you spread the court like that, and you have more perimeter players, you do give up something.

Dave Leitao

Drew is tough as nails. It was our team defense that won the game for us. We were able to close out their shooters on the perimeter. It was just a great team effort.

Corey Turner

Holy Cross is a guard-oriented team that's tough to guard on the perimeter and one night later we face a team with great big men in Pendleton County. It'll be interesting to see how we adapt.

Willie Schlarman

We didn't let them have any easy looks. We pressured the ball on the perimeter. Everything they got, they earned because of that pressure.

Jason Murgel

We really talked about that. They dominated the perimeter at their place. We will do what we have to do when they go zone. We got too many easy baskets and we made them do what they didn't want to do. They would go to a zone and then back to a man-to-man defense.

Tim Mcconnell

I love Joey. He plays so hard for us. He's pretty long and he's got pretty good feet, so he's versatile for us defensively. We can put him on a big kid or put him on a perimeter player and he just always gives a great effort.

Troy Graefe

I was pleased that the other district coaches gave her this honor considering how strong our district is. She knew she needed to score more and increased her low block move and her perimeter skills.

Kit Kyle Puckett

We did a good job with the inside-outside game in the first half to get some open looks from the perimeter. Lori knocked down her first shot from about 22-feet and that got her going. From there, everyone else just fed off her confidence.

Theresa Grentz

I think we shot the ball well from the perimeter. Our rebounding made the difference in the game.

Loyd Lamb

They both feed off each other. When Blake is playing well, he is able to create so much for Chris. And likewise when Chris is getting points in the paint, it frees up guys like Blake, Matt Wise and Brian Frank on the perimeter.

Bob Horodyski

They got out and covered us better on the perimeter. They did a better job of shielding our shooters and getting out and getting a hand up. There were a couple of fouls that were missed on 3-pointers right in front of us, but that didn't beat us.

Dickey Nutt

He's doing very well. Manny is 17 years old and wants to work on his perimeter skills and improving his grades.

Loren Jackson

We're going to have to be more fleet-footed than we were tonight. They're pretty good on the perimeter and they have a lot of kids who have been around a while.

Bob Feasel

I think our 1-2-2 zone helped a lot. We were able to take away the perimeter shots.

Mark Simon

He causes problems. He has improved his perimeter game so much.

Flip Saunders

It was a frustrating game. They came out and played an up-tempo game. We chased them around the court. They moved the ball around the perimeter. We were very flat offensively and it just wasn't our game.

John Sondergard

Someone's going to have to take that big fullback and someone is going to have to seal off the perimeter for us to be successful.

Andy Palmer

We needed to be soft on the perimeter and we got away from that in the second half. Once they started banging the ball inside, that was it.

Diane Williams

We knew they were going to be out-guarding us [on the perimeter] so we wanted to get into the lane and be able to attack the basket.

Russ Swartz

In the first half we were a little soft on defense around the perimeter. I thought we could do better. We needed a little more up tempo.

Barry Dutt

We were holding the ball and giving the defense a break. We were giving the defense a chance to beat you. Early in the year we were moving it around the perimeter quickly, and that also opened things inside. So we have to move more and move the ball more.

Dave Nichols

The difference is that their big guys can get out on the perimeter and guard. This will make them much better defensively and will limit their guys getting into foul trouble.

Dave Milausnic

They're more perimeter oriented than we are, and they're probably a little more athletic of a team than we are. One key for us is that we have to be really conscious of their ability to shoot the ball. Plus, they're so athletic that we have to limit their long rebounds and hold them off the offensive glass.

Randy Hauswirth

Jones has been hard to contain, and they're forced to guard her heavily. But now we're more perimeter-oriented than I'd like to be.

Joan Bonvincini

That team knows how to shoot the basketball. I've been doing this a long time and never saw a team shoot like that before, especially from the perimeter. They were phenomenal.

Jay Stanley

We didn't make their defense work. We stood around too much on the perimeter.

Jamont Gordon

They are very perimeter-oriented, much like they were last year. We can't sleep at all. We have a very small margin for error, because if we miss an assignment we're likely going to give up a 3. Everyone needs to know their assignments.

Michael Wantz

Our perimeter play has been very good for us. We have a lot of very good outside shooters. Nikki (Casimiro) is there every night, but there are a lot of very good outside shooters. What we want is balance.

Dave Nichols

We were not reacting quickly enough to what they were doing on offense. Katie isn't used to coming out to guard the perimeter, but that's what we were giving them tonight.

Lori Drumtra

Our perimeter shooting has improved since last year, which is opening up our inside game a little more.

Marco Corona

The world of the network perimeter has certainly changed. We are very conscious of it, and we're doing our best to protect the enterprise.

Tom Gill

He's a guy you have to account for on the perimeter. I think that's taken some pressure off Walt.

Tom Densmore

I know he's excited. He's going to be the No. 1 option on the perimeter this year. Last year, he was sometimes the third option. He wants that extra pressure on himself, he wants to carry more of the load.

Fred Hoiberg

He's so hard to guard, because he's so strong. He's able to catch it on the perimeter and he's pretty dangerous on the perimeter. He had a great game.

Brad Bjorkgren

They made some shots from the perimeter and had a couple of nine 1-on-1s [foul shots].

Jay Airhart

They did a good job of playing defense on the perimeter, and that ability to defend out front kept us from getting our inside game going. We missed some easy looks inside, too.

Jim Pappas

If people key on her, we have perimeter shooters who can step up. She gives us more balance and makes us harder to defend.

Randy Yoder

There are residential homes all up and down what is the western perimeter of Livermore lab. You always see children on their bicycles or skateboards ... people walking their dogs ... You can't just indiscriminately open fire.

Marylia Kelley

They're very talented, obviously. We must contain their post players, and they have capable perimeter players, too.

Roger Hatler

We have to stop those two. They're crafty and pass the ball well around the perimeter and like to take back door cuts.

Tyler Amaya

This team was primarily a perimeter-shooting team. We were able to deny them shooting opportunities for the most part.

Tom Ferrier

We need a shooter out there on the perimeter. He can shoot. He's a guy that brings a lot of NBA experience. He could probably help us out.

Francisco Elson

Georgia plays hard and has a lot of perimeter depth. They have a lot of big bodies on the inside, and they've been in most games everywhere they've played.

Rick Stansbury

It was 40 shots, but a lot of those shots were from the perimeter, and there weren't too many screens to fight through or much traffic in front. (Facing) 40 shots isn't bad if they're all from the outside. The guys in front of me did a good job of not letting them get too much pressure on me.

Bryan Bridges

He was known more so as a perimeter guy last year, and over the course of the end of last season to where he is now, he's gotten a lot more mature in terms of how he understands the game.

Justin Young

They were boxing Andy in and we started hitting shots on the perimeter. Justin hit a lot of shots and Jeremy stepped up to get us back in it.

Jeff Parsons

The perimeter firewall is a necessity.

Raphael Reich

Tristan's always been a great athlete who can create a lot of scoring opportunities with his athleticism, but he's really improved the way he shoots the ball from the perimeter. If you lay off of him he can hit those jump shots from the outside. If you come out to guard him, he can go around you.

Kevin Logsdon

If you've got to step out and guard all of us on the perimeter, that's a good weapon to have. Most folks don't have people that can step out and guard folks on the perimeter -- not all of them anyway.

Herbert Greene

Greg did a great job for us. We lost both of those guys and they are really our two best post players. Then they could really pick up the pressure on the perimeter even more.

Stan Eagleson

We wanted to get the ball down low and we just attacked them early in the game. And then that opened it up for the perimeter game.

Mike Gordon

They were going to have to make perimeter shots and we were going to double down. They (Polar Bears) made enough of them.

Kyle Fenner

We're going to have to keep developing our perimeter skills and shooting.

Richelle Reilly

Our goal was to give them one shot per possession. We did a good job of that. They got some points in the paint, but we took away the perimeter game.

Greg Amundson

His freshman year he basically lived on 3-point shots on the perimeter. He's added a great dribble drive, put it on the deck, jump-stop game.

Dean Vander Plas

Those two guys really did a nice job on the boards and protecting the lane. Matt's been guarding their best player lately and we got good perimeter defense.

Dean Bellanti

What makes her special is she can do it all. She rebounds, can handle the ball, plays with her back to the basket or facing the basket. She can defend somebody in the post or on the perimeter.

Luann Grybowski

He's just like another Dwayne Collins. He can score on the inside, but he may actually be better from the perimeter. He can really shoot the ball, too.

Lorenzo Hands

I was so small my freshman year, I was always guarding the worst perimeter player. This year, I've improved a lot on the defensive end.

Scott Gillespie

We didn't guard the perimeter. We didn't go out to defend at the line.

Frank Sullivan

Colleen has the ability to be a pretty good scorer this year. She can attack the basket and she's probably our best perimeter shooter.

Richelle Reilly

She always has some timely makes from the perimeter.

Amanda Van Voorhis

For the most part we covered their perimeter guys pretty well.

Dan Gandin

Our offense was poor tonight, we didn't make baskets in close and weren't ready on the perimeter when the ball came out.

Kraig Blomme

The bigger conferences have a lot of big guys. We had to bring those big guys to the perimeter and force them to guard us. We had an advantage doing it, so we had to go to it.

Joah Tucker

Every team is a little different, but this year, our perimeter players have handled the ball more in decision-making time.

Jack Schrader

We've talked about [perimeter defense] a lot. In Yale's case, they were a hot team.

Bill Holden

We've definitely got to contain their penetration, and still not allow them to gain confidence from the perimeter. With Burt hitting five 3s (in his last game), he's going to look for his shot more.

Phil Mishler

Guard play is gonna be crucial. The perimeter guys on both teams are going to get looks.

Rodney Terry

They didn't give us a lot of great opportunities. We got a lot of shots early from the perimeter. Getting those power-plays early on can haunt you if you don't score on those chances.

Paul Flanagan

Casey and Maurice played very well and our guards did a great job of getting the ball inside. We had a good size advantage and we passed up a lot of perimeter shots to get the ball inside.

Mike Bauer

He's a very, very solid player. He has a pull-up jumper, he's a strong finisher at the rim and he's very good on the perimeter. He doesn't make many mistakes.

Joe Rux

We were a little flat, and they were playing some zone on us. We weren't hitting some perimeter shots, and they hit some 3-pointers on us.

Phil Tronsrue

He was standing around on the perimeter a little bit too much in the first half so we talked to him about getting him involved in the paint. That's where he's most comfortable.

George Robinson

We changed a little bit at halftime and came from the perimeter and that probably had as big an effect as anything we did in the game.

Bob Hill

They had us so spread out. Instead of getting into the gaps and penetrating and doing what we need to do, we stepped further away from the basket. We never went in and out. We just went around the perimeter.

Pat Coyle

That's something we've been able to do. If the other team has a good perimeter scorer, we can usually find a way to limit their output.

Gary Glasscock

We had a lot of turnovers on the perimeter, which led to odd-man advantages.

Steve Bartos

It's no secret that we have a lot of big girls and we look to use them. Groton did a good job on the perimeter early on, making it tough for us to get it inside to them, but once we moved the ball a little better we were able to get the ball into Jillian and Allie (Coulter) and we were able to capitalize.

Naomi Martin

All we wanted to do was bomb from the perimeter. It set a terrible tone for the game. What a terrible way to start the game.

Lou Lefevre

We were all out of sync tonight, we never really could get anything going. But a lot of credit has to go to Atlantic. They did a great job defensively tonight. They shot the ball well from the perimeter, and they made their free throws.

John Zeoli

We're always undersized in the post so our thinking was we had a better chance at defending on the perimeter than in the post.

Joe Legerski

We didn't know where he was. We thought he probably was in the house. We're not approaching the house, we're so far back on the perimeter, but yesterday afternoon probably between 4 and 5 sometime, he'd gone to a neighbor, and the neighbor contacted ... law enforcement and then brought him in.

Phil Robinson

We tried to deny her the ball when she didn't have it, and when she got it we just all tried to sag in and help. We just tried to pressure her from the perimeter.

Tyler Dumas

Speed kills. That's something they've been missing here on the perimeter the past couple of years.

Justin King

You're entitled to discipline your children, but there's a certain perimeter, which you need to keep that discipline within, which he did not.

Rob Vega

We have to get aggressive. We have to deny passes. The last couple games, teams have been catching it too easy on the perimeter. We've got to knock passes down, put more ball pressure on and get more defensive rebounds.

Roderick Middleton

It gives us a chance to get out to the perimeter and get to those smaller guys. It's a lot easier to score out there because you've got one or two guys to beat and it's a foot race.

Kory Sheets

It makes everyone better. It's like in football -- if all you can do is run, they just stick nine guys in the box. This year we have a perimeter and a post attack. It's a lot easier to watch.

Kelvin Sampson

Coming into the year we didn't know what Kelly would give us. What we did find out very quickly was that she was going to work very hard ... and that she was one of the best perimeter shooters we had.

Patrick Knapp

We didn't match up well underneath. Our perimeter shooting is non-existent. We missed some key free throws down the stretch.

Brian Collins

The door was constructed at the same time the perimeter fencing was done. We've just been held up on the remaining element here to finish the project.

Shannon Lewis

Coming from where I come from, I think it could be good. That would be a drastic change to the way the game is played. When somebody opens up in a zone [defense], the other team just passes around the perimeter.

Joe Conroy

If we were going to give up one or the other, we were going to give up the perimeter shot.

Hugh Godsey

We think we're a balanced team. We ended up making six 3-pointers. We think we have the capability of making perimeter shots.

Greg Jung

When she gets to college, she'll be more of a perimeter player, but right now, we need her inside. She draws people to her defensively and that opens things up for others.

Jeff Stabile

We'll have trouble stopping their perimeter game. Some of the quicker teams have given us trouble.

Tim Reinking

It looked like we got a little tired, and it looked like we settled for outside shots. We were depending too much on the perimeter jump shot.

Doug Pesicka

It's definitely going to be an adjustment without Larry. He's our second leading scorer, our second best player and our best perimeter defender. I don't think anyone can fill in for Larry, but everybody has to do a little more.

Eric Snow

Our defense let us down. We just got ourselves in a hole that we shouldn't have been in. We couldn't stop (Britton) on the perimeter. I don't know even know what to say. They had that guy out there on the perimeter and he got about three buckets out there with threes on us. We just couldn't come from behind it.

Elgin Perry

Without anyone to match them inside we needed to play outstanding from the perimeter, and that didn't happen.

Ed Huydic
