If you're going to be small, you'd better do things well fundamentally. It's very important to spread the floor and let penetration, quickness and shooting dictate the outcome.

Stephanie Koslin

Don Breaux

We just try to keep the game going at a pace that's good for us and make it more of a quickness game than a physical game.

A-H-S-T has a very nice ball club. Their quickness gave us a lot of fits. It's hard for us to simulate their athleticism in our practices. They will be a handful for a lot of teams in the postseason.
Doug Newton
I wasn't sure it would be this close. But I knew we would play hard. Auburn had the size and quickness advantage on us, but I'm proud of the way our guys played.
Terry Goodson
These kids, so many of them always think bigger in football is better. It's not. It's quickness. It's the ability to perform your position. You've got a function you have to perform. If you can't do that function very quick, you can't be good at it.

Nick Kajca
We are basically a half court man-to-man team but we extended our defense tonight to keep them from getting into their offense. They are a good team when they can run their offense. We had a quickness advantage and that is what we needed to do.
Mike Cartolaro
Chris has tremendous speed and quickness, but he has to show us that he can really be an all-around linebacker.
Dale Lindsey
We played extremely well against Cortez, everybody on the team contributed. They aren't the caliber team that Durango is — they don't have Durango's quickness, but we played well against them. Durango is very quick and we didn't adjust well with our good players. They aren't that much better than we are.
John Mraule
We've got the quickness, and they've got the height. But on the fourth day (of the tournament) it's hard to get your quickness. We still have speed, but that first step isn't there.
Destiny Schang
We executed really well compared to their quickness and speed.
Kelly Peller

Jim Tusing
We have a lot of good quickness on that team and a lot of good hitters. We're been real pleased with their production this year. That's a good group of girls.
Gordon Godfrey
One of the keys of playing San Francisco is containing Alan when he gets the ball in the high post. When he gets the ball in the low post, he can use his quickness to beat you. He's going to be heard from in his own career.
Rodney Tention
Just all of that pressing gave me a chance to drive the lane. Working against their quickness was hard to deal with.
Kelly Peller
Drew is very steady and just needs experience at the varsity level. Eddie has good size and quickness and is very determined.
Dick Nyman

Their quickness is really hard for us to match up with. We have to make shots and make sure that Justin stays involved in the game.
Todd Minney
Actually, I was looking forward to playing against a team that played like us. They had more quickness than I anticipated. They got to every loose ball.
Paul Rozak
Lutcher has good athletes with speed. They are a stout defensive line with good size and quickness. Our offensive line will have to play a good game for us to be in contention.
Jerry Leonard
Controlling them up front, they make it extremely easy for our linebackers because of the quickness and strength that they have. They dominate the line of scrimmage for the rest of our defense and it make it easier for all of them.
Kevin Bartz
I saw them play Columbus and I was impressed with both teams. I was concerned with their overall team speed and quickness. They have some nice athletes.
Rick Griffith
The Brown game was a simple story. We didn't execute well against the press; we didn't finish well against the press; we didn't execute well against Brown's zone. ... Brown was certainly quicker, and they used that quickness to their advantage.
Patrick Knapp
Their size hurt us to a point and their quickness. And we had (19) turnovers.
Curt Stellfox
We were never really able to use our size because their quickness was a big part of the game.
Brian Grun
I understand why he can do both (offense and defense) because he's an amazing athlete. He's agile, with great feet and great quickness.
Hank Tierney
He really showed some quickness and toughness.
Jeff Hollis
He's really physical, and because of his size he has a great ability to disrupt the dribble. And because of his quickness and ability to recover in a hurry, he can take chances that other players can't take.
Doug Meacham
She will be an asset for us on either flank of the defense because of her speed and quickness. That is an element we have lacked in past seasons. That speed gives her the ability to join the attack and serve crosses into the box.
Bill Solberg
He's got a lot of quickness. We ran some play action and got him around the corner and he had two or three really nice runs.
Paul Columbia
Guys have to have athletic ability and the ability to stay on his feet. Plus he's got to have quickness, strength and explosion. He needs the ability to use his hands to get off of blocks. That's the most important thing. Guys have to stay on their feet, get off of blocks and find their way to the football.
Jay Hayes
The last time, quickness won. This time, size won. It was two very good teams from two good programs going at each other. I think we'll see each other again.
Jason Carter
I think in the end it was their quickness and their ability to play the passing lanes and force us a little deeper into our offense than we wanted to be. That's how they wanted to play and they did.
Tim Prescott
Their quickness by their guards really bothered us and we made some defensive mistakes. Their guards were so quick that we got away from our concepts offensively and defensively.
Brad Underwood
They beat us to just about every puck. They have tremendous quickness; the kind you don't see on a lot of other teams. There are other teams with quick forwards, but (Dakota's) defenders are just as fast and it made it tough for us to get shots.
Rod Schwarz
We've played well the last two games. But we don't see defenses like we'll see at Rutgers. We always have problems getting shots, and they turn us over more than most because of their quickness. Plus it's up there. It's going to be difficult.
Harry Perretta
They've got height and quickness and they're going to be ready. I know it's important to our guys to go in there and play them tough, so that's what we're going to do.
Bob Letsch
I think the verdict as well as the quickness of the verdict sends a clear message that my client had absolutely no criminal intent. Now he can put this experience behind him and move on.
Jeff Collins
It's tough to simulate her quickness in practice. She's so quick, and we're not real quick. She sliced and diced us inside.
Wayne Cafferty
I have an advantage playing some guys with my quickness, and I might have to guard a (small forward) sometimes, like I did today. I'm quick enough to do that.
Kenny Thomas
He's another player out of a big-time program. We need to wait and see what he does at the next level. He has major-league power. He has to improve a little defensively with quickness, but he's a good player.
Tom Brookens
It's been helpful to be able to practice. The main thing here is the quickness and speed of the game and how quickly guys make passes. It's on the tape and the guy is gone. That's been the biggest adjustment for me.
Matt Greene
We know who their best player was, frustrated him, and played good overall defense. As you can see, we're not the biggest team in the world, so we have to rely on our quickness and defense.
Leonard Butler
This is an exciting time for the Rockets. Yao is going to be a part of the Rockets for a long time. I feel he'll become one of the great players in NBA history. He's got the size, intelligence, youth, and quickness to be a phenomenal, forceful player in the league.
Leslie Alexander
I've had bigger teams, but as far as overall team quickness, this is just as good as any we've had.
Mike Bradshaw
Our quickness on defense caused them problems. We're playing our best basketball right now.
Don Eckerle
Steven is a fierce athlete. He has the speed and lateral quickness to continue to be an aggressive, physical defenseman at the collegiate level.
Lars Tiffany
It was our height vs. their quickness, and they're quick leapers. This was a win we had to have.
Frank Tolbert
I just like his flash, and his quickness and toughness.
Sam Zeglinski
I think he's a NBA player. He needs to continue to add to his strength and quickness. Whenever he comes out, he's a pro.
Doug Gottlieb
He has tremendous ball hawking instincts, and his quickness and speed helped him deflect and break up many other passes. Swartz also possesses good ball instincts and has a knack for making plays.
Greg Rigoni
It was kind of tough for us with their size, strength and quickness around the basket. Give Texas credit for applying the pressure.
Rob Spivery
You have to respect his quickness and his speed, and the way he plays the game. Every minute he's on the floor, he plays hard. He plays to the point of exhaustion.
Donnie Marsh
She's a really good player. Watching her from the stands and watching her on game films, her quickness is deceptive when you get down on the court. I had a couple of players that I thought would hang with her, but they weren't able to.
Mike Buckholz
Davis did a great job. They've got great size and have great quickness in their guards. (Darts' coach) Amy (Wright) has done a great job over there. We're going to have to see them again and I'm not looking forward to that at all.
Rob Reisbeck
I have gotten bigger and have really worked on my quickness. I have kept my arm in good shape and have tried to get better.
Kitty Kelley
Savannah is a natural athlete who possesses great physical strength and quickness. She is very offensively minded and we look forward to having her join our attack next season.
Steve Jennings
He was wrestling really tough on the day and you can't coach balance and quickness and Javier has both. And once they get the momentum going it's hard to stop that youth.
Chad Hitchen
Mike is going to be a good player. He's got good balance and quickness. He's got some things to learn, but he's going to be a good player.
Darwin Walker
Their size, quickness and athleticism began to tell in the fourth quarter.
Joe Voelker
One thing we did well was we handled their full-court press. They've got a lot of quickness, and they press the whole game.
Troy Powell
The only thing I do remember is Kentucky couldn't move the ball and there was a lot of quickness on the floor. And I remember Pat.
John Macleod
We felt going in that their strength was their experience and that they are defensively sound. They have nice size inside and quickness at the guards. We knew that would be an issue; we knew we had to execute.
Dave Butcher
Once (Trinity) hit a couple of shots, we had to extend out defensively. That opened things up for them. Their quickness suddenly became a factor and our slowness became a factor.
Tom Pardalis
It's not just straight-line speed. He's got the agility and the quickness to go with it. His vision on the field is phenomenal. It just opens the playbook so much as a coach that I'm really looking forward to it.
Lebron James
Intelligence is quickness in seeing things as they are.
George Santayana
We had to use our quickness. Being the point guard, I had to distribute the ball to all the players but also look for my open shot.
Dymond Simon
Our strength is in our athleticism and quickness, and if we could play intense, aggressive defense we knew we could throw them out of their game a little bit.
Kathy Sinram
Duncan has good speed, skills and quickness and plays with tenacity and intelligence.
Dick Nyman
He's definitely a must-have. I definitely think he makes our defense better. He has explosiveness and quickness almost like a running back coming off the line. He's as fast as I am.
Curtis Martin
Now their strength is quickness, instead of getting the ball inside.
Monica Naltner
Our biggest challenge will be their quickness. We're going to try to play in the half-court. Number one, we have to make baskets. Number two, we'll need to limit turnovers and, number three, we have to defend and keep them in front of us.
Tony Harper
We've always played hard, but as of late we seem to be executing better on offense, being more patient and getting the ball where we need to get it. Our quickness allows us to create some mismatches.
Todd Parker
We want to do a lot with Tuck with the dribble because he has quickness and creates plays.
Scott Fisher
If I had to compare his stature and quickness, I have to say that he reminds me of Brentson Buckner. The only difference is Brentson played defensive line, not offensive line.
Wallace Davis
We just try to keep them out of the post mainly and beat them on offense with our quickness if we are quicker than them. That's all we can do.
Chase Yoder
One of the things that Adam gives us is explosive quickness. He can get into the gap and win balls, then make it past a few guys so quickly.
Paul Retherford
We tried to use our speed and quickness.
Deandre Rice
We were letting them get around our screens getting people open. When you play a team with that kind of quickness, you have to be able to get the ball in and up the floor. We had a hard time with that in the second quarter.
Shawn Hammond
I would say that in the last three or so practices, we're starting to see some quickness ? quickness in the different techniques he needs to use at that nose guard position.
Kevin Cosgrove
They're a team that plays a flex offense with a lot of movement and a lot of quickness. They're going to match up with us with some size and bulk inside.
Larry Klukas
That seemed to spark us. When he gets to going hard, he can jump over people and with his quickness he can go past people.
Hal Mcmanus
Their quickness killed us. I knew they were quick. ... They had a lot of individual talent, and we struggled with them.
Peter Torilli
That's unreal. We have a lot of quickness and range over there (in the infield).
Bob Coolen
We have a lot of kids with similar size and quickness, and overall we're pretty athletic. With that combination, we match up pretty well with most teams.
Doug Burge
Plus, ... her defense has improved. She's never been one of my quickest players, but she plays with so much heart that it gives her that extra quickness.
Catherine Young
I think it was their quickness that gave us problems. Watching them on film and playing against them are two different things.
Willonda Windham
I think I've improved on my blocking a lot. My quickness at the net, transitioning back-and-forth, has gotten a lot better.
Michelle Buckley
They have a lot of quickness. They have some very good backs. They're really explosive, much the same type of team as Sammamish. They run the Wing-T and get outside.
Doug Preston
You try to prepare for it as well as you can, but with their quickness, I don't think you can. They're very, very quick and very athletic.
Jack Culhane
He's getting better all the time. He's left-handed, so that's already an advantage. He's a good shot blocker. He just has to work on his quickness and his strength around the basket.
Bernie Pearson
We've asked Matt to do some new things to help us get a couple more athletic bodies into the lineup,and he's more than held his own in left field. Most catchers don't run very well and couldn't make the switch to the outfield, but Matt dominates with his quickness when he's playing hockey, and I think that's helped him make the transition.
Tim Saunders
I love those guys. He had quickness in his body, very good hands and he's very competitive. Knowing that he's competitive and an athlete is 90 percent of it. I knew he would be a good player.
Pete Hughes
It's a good asset to have sometimes. Sometimes quickness outlasts the height.
Janette Mccarroll
We had a size advantage, so of course they had a little advantage in quickness and speed, so we tried to press the boards.
Olli Ahvenniemi
At any given moment he can go the distance. He's got the total package - speed and quickness and he's tough guy for his size. He's a dangerous person to have the ball in his hands.
Jerry Wilson
They came out and matched our quickness. That surprised me.
John Zeoli
That's one of my qualities that helps me out at this level, quickness. Especially now with the new rules, no clutching and grabbing. It definitely helps out. If you make a small mistake and get trapped, you can get back in the play.
Freddy Meyer
He played against the bigger guys at Gonzaga, and here he had to work on his quickness to guard smaller players. That puts him in the best of situations now.
Brian Joyce
Our No. 1 goal is for the athletes to learn about speed and quickness. Hopefully they'll leave track and field and it will help some of the other sports they compete in.
Brian Simpson
Mobility and quickness can help you in a lot of ways.
Karibi Dede
Hey, we're excited about proving something to everybody. We all make each other better. We got together this year and said, 'Hey, let's turn this program around.' We have guards, height and quickness. And we can all shoot a little bit.
Mario Ramirez
William Carey is an extremely athletic team. They are not big, but they make up for their lack of size with their quickness, and they do a great job of creating opportunities with their up-tempo defense. We need to handle their pressure and get the ball inside.
Kevin Engellant
Angelo is a big guy. I have to use my quickness to my advantage, stay away from his big stuff, and score when I can.
Pat Cummins
It was good to get Brooks down to 160. He looked quick at 171, but now he's got quickness and strength to match up with what he's going against.
Matt Mccoy
He's extremely talented. He has great speed and quickness. His field vision is his greatest asset. He has an innate ability to make people miss.
Mike Yeagle
He's a whiz. His speed and quickness are unmatched. When he's on, he's difficult to control.
Stan Waterman
We were trying to use our quickness against their size. We were able to get a lot of easy baskets and that was the key tonight.
Marty Dejarnette
He became very explosive. He has a tremendous amount of balance and quickness. He just came in at his natural weight. His quickness has always been his trademark.
George Dyche
Meagan's passing and hitting are as good as anyone's on the team. Nicole is probably the best athlete on the team, especially with her quickness. We just have to slow her down at times.
Blake Budrow
He had a great tournament. A lot of these kids have been wrestling since they were little guys, so for Shaun it was about the learning curve. He's always had the physical ability and the quickness but, against kids like this, that's not always enough.
Bernie Botheroyd
In the past they have struggled with our speed and quickness. We still have that speed.
George Machado
Lisle has very good quickness that hurt us. I thought our kids did a nice job not giving up when they got behind.
Mark Porter
He was a really, really outstanding back. He came through my camp and showed people he had quickness, athleticism and explosion. I think what happened with him is that he might have peaked in high school. That happens.
Joe Butler
He wants quickness and explosion off the ball. He's a real up-tempo guy.
Nick Hayden
Ashley is a power forward who finishes well around the basket. Ashley plays the game with determination and heart. She brings speed and quickness to the interior of our lineup.
Trina Patterson
He's got to be one of the strongest safeties in the nation. He's got the strength and the speed and the quickness.
Rich Miano
Rochelle is a speedy addition to our program. She is crafty on the ball, and her quickness makes her dangerous in the attacking third. We are looking forward to having her buzz around in the attack, getting in behind defenders and making play interesting.
Maryclaire Robinson
The man's a great shooter. He could use a little more quickness. But what the hell, Larry Bird wasn't quick. Hoiberg has a major-league stroke.
Marty Blake
She is a good student, a good all-around kid. She will have to keep working hard to improve her quickness.
Phil Willard
They've got really good quickness on defense. I'm also impressed with how hard their kids play. The ability, savvy, competitiveness and toughness of Brandon Rouse have also been impressive.
Wayne Jackson
It was a tale of two halves. I thought the last eight to 10 minutes we just didn't match up with them physically. We rely so much on speed and quickness and I thought they did a great job making it a physical ballgame. That's what won it for them because we physically couldn't match up.
Joe Konieczny
We just turned it over too much. Their quickness got into our heads.
Bill Mcelroy
I've concentrated a lot on trying to slim back up and kind of lose that real muscular frame I had, ... I've been working a lot on my footwork and on my perimeter game. I feel like since I left Duke, I got a lot of my quickness back, a lot of my explosiveness back. It's been really good for me here in this camp.
Shavlik Randolph
The quickness of the games and recognizing different fronts are the biggest differences between this and playing in college.
Eric Shelton
It's not necessarily the weight but the strength. Because getting off the jam [at the line of scrimmage] is imperative in the Pac-10. If you can do that using quickness along with strength, you can do well against the bump-and-run.
