Defensively, our shooting wasn't very great. We stepped it up defensively and we were able to stop them.

I never really thought about coaching when I was playing with him. He prepared me for what laid ahead. I found myself in the gym with the girls, running through some of the same drills. The principles he taught me about basketball helped me greatly.

This class is special in the fact that they were completely dedicated to basketball. They're all I've known as far as coaching is concerned. The thought of going back to the gym and not having them is unimaginable.

We stayed with them the first three quarters but we ran out of gas. I'm proud of the way they played. I thought they did a nice job against one of the best teams in the league.

I told them you have to go out there and forget the score. You have to stop them from scoring and you have to score, and we did.
