Rick Petri

It's actually an honor. He's a great player. Just to be compared to somebody like that, I take that very highly. I'm thankful.

Demario Williams

He's been a terrific player for us. He's always around the ball, and you have to be playing with some fire to get 18 rebounds.

Bill Dreikosen

He's not a reserve or a part-time player. He's a champion that can alter a game, whether he enters from the bench or plays from the first minute.

That says a lot about the program that Jeff came back. He's a clutch player and I think he's got a chance to be one of the best catchers in the nation.

Paul Merson

Craig Teagle

To me, Alfredsson has been our best player.

Mats Naslund

In the first half, I thought we gave him some. The second half, we made him fight for every one of them, and he just got them. That's how good he is. That's a different-level player.

Morris Hatalsky

I play singles and doubles, and I think that's what every player should be encouraged to do.

Jonas Bjorkman

He's outstanding. He's been very good. He plays a North American game, very physical. He's a good two-way player with an offensive touch.

Jon Hoover

He's probably the best player I've coached. I'm going to miss him a lot.

It could be a merger with another player, it could be joint-venturing a material part of our business with someone, it could be financing the company in a completely different way, it could be just maintaining the status quo.

Losing players like Bolts, who was one-of-a-kind, and Fig, who was a two-time all-league player and every bit the bull that Jeff was, is tough. But we've got some guys who can play.

Jason Mcendoo

They have a very good post player, a 6-8 kid. We played them two years ago in the state quarterfinals and beat them in a close game. We'll have our hands full.

Roy Roberson

Will has been an absolutely class act. A very generous player who always looked to make and exploit space for other people.

Jeremy Guscott

You can't make excuses for missing a player. They just wanted it more and they were more aggressive.

It always comes down to doubles. You could have the best player in the world, and odds are you won?t win all four singles matches. You have to have good doubles.

I basically got it when I asked them why my player got a (double-yellow) for breaking up a fight, and that was basically it. I just defended my player.

Barry Eckerty

Alicia played exceptionally well against a very good tennis player.

David Lipe

This ensures he'll be entertained and gives him a sense of security and choice. Include puzzle books, hand-held games, and an audio-cassette or CD player (with individual headphones) for listening to music or books on tape.

Kristin Stanberry

We've got the people we need to win the conference again. Each player knows his role. We've got confidence in each other and we pick each other up. That's something we haven't always had in the past.

Tyler Jones

Nowadays, pro athletes are so recognizable; their faces are plastered everywhere. There are guys who are good people who are put in bad situations and just don't know how to handle those situations. Guys will start a fight with a basketball player because they know that if he connects with a punch, they're going to sue.

Kelly Davis

I don't know if my game is that much different, but I think the things I'm doing have gotten a lot better. I've gotten more confident and I think that's made me a better player overall.

Josh Mcroberts

She is a hard worker and an exceptional ball player with lots of skills. Her pitching and hitting skills will be very valuable to the Lady Cats during her last season.

Lori Snell

He's Hawks through and through. We like that he's a click or two left of neutrality. He's a slight homer, but not a roaring homer. He's objective. He knows when a player makes a mistake, but he says it the right way without crucifying him.

Bernie Mullin

In doubles (matches) his volleys are better than mine. He is for sure a better doubles player.

Greg Janssen

We want to expand Jeff's role some. Make him a complete player.

Mark Lyons

Of course I'm going to say I'm the best player.

Mike Downing

He?s a great player. He played very good from the baseline, so what I have to do is attack and play my tennis, which is serve and volley a little bit and try to move him from the baseline.

Feliciano Lopez

It's been a blessing for our whole family. Kevin's a great kid, a great person. Obviously he's a great football player, but he's an even better person. He gets along with everybody. He's got that natural charisma. He doesn't have to say anything, but people still like being around him.

John Rushing

He is one heck of a hockey player. He may be the fastest player in high school hockey. I would put him up against anybody.

John Mooney

If they're paying money to have you on their team, [teams] should want to ask and should want to know, and are obligated to know. It hurt me because it kind of damaged my character and put me in a light I don't want to be put in. They know I'm a good player.

A.j. Nicholson

If you have a player that can (lead) both in the dugout and on the field, it's like having an extra coach out there. And that's how Damien is for us.

Alan Gibson

I knew going into the game that Kevin was a pretty good player. I had to play mentally and physically tough.

Brent Barz

He was (Packers coach Vince) Lombardi's favorite player.

Billy Reed

We knew (Green) was a good player, but we needed to keep a body on him. We wanted to push him out a little bit and make him go to the ball. He is a good player, but we didn't do our job on him like I wanted.

Shane Childress

Rachel just has a no-nonsense attitude. She always comes to practice, and always wants to get better. She hates losing, which is something I love in a player. She's a very good athlete with a good arm, and you can tell she is only going to get better as she gets more mature.

Steve Cacioppo

We thought he'd be an immediate impact player for us, especially with his speed and toughness.

Bill Zwaan

He's the only player I've ever coached where I threaten him if he goes 100 percent.

Ben Howland

They tested him every week. And he was always up for the challenge. It was like that with him from Day One here, and everybody here knew he was going to be a great player just from his confidence and competitiveness.

Travis Williams

He's such a good player. He goes on to the next thing. You can't get too happy.

Matt Schrantz

I'm concentrating more and I'm relaxed at the plate. I am a lot more confident. I'm seeing the ball better and just hitting it hard. I think I've been practicing hard, and that has helped me to become a better player.

Joey Cabret

He does everything well. He is a great all-around player.

Bill Bucholtz

Warren is a Division 1 player. There's many levels of Division 1 play. He really gets after people offensively, defensively. He really has a lot going for him.

Wendell Byrd

It's a confidence booster when the team can win with the top player losing.

John Pettit

He's an amazing player. He's really making a name for himself.

Randy Shuman

He's an experienced player who has played European and international football and will add real quality to our squad.

Phil Brown

Anwar Ferguson has a lot of potential. He stands 7-foot and he's a 7-foot high jumper and he was the last player cut by the Kings two years ago. He just needs to develop a little more.

Kermit Young

This kid has matured so much through the year. He wasn't always consistent and now he's probably the most consistent player on the team.

Junior Lessard

He can run. He can catch the ball. He can do a lot of things that you anticipate a good back should be able to do. The thing he brings to the table, too, is he's an outstanding special-teams player.

Herman Edwards

He is a great player but young players have their ups and downs and I hope he'll have a down against us.

Morten Olsen

Kyle Bell is a stud, Luke Roberts is a stud and everybody already knows what a great player Anderson is. And Justin made some big-time throws.

Dan Hammerschmidt

It's all starting to click for Ronnie. He's getting better, and he's going to be a great player here.

Lance Butler

Once we start going like that, the energy from everyone is so high. It gets so intense and you stay in that zone as a team. It's not just one player, it's everyone.

Suzi Fregosi

There's a lot of pressure there. But I like the pressure. It's going to push me to be a better player. I've got some big shoes to fill.

Dustin Grutza

Everybody knows that's a major part of Rajon's game, ... He's probably the quickest player I've played against.

Joe Crawford

She knows the game so well and studies it all the time, and we learn a lot from that. She was a great offensive player, and she really gave me a lot of confidence in myself.

Nina Norman

Alex has been that way for us all year. He's the only player that we have who can put the ball on the floor and tak e it all the way to the basket. That's why he's such a valuable player.

Shawn Knaub

I know Venus since a long time from the TV when I was just a little kid. I always love her game, but when you go on the court, I am a professional player. I should not think about that she was kind of my idol before.

Tszvetana Pironkova

I am a citizen of the world. Some of my best friends are black, including those I had from childhood. The fact that I made a joke in order to motivate a player has nothing to do with being racist. I'm not a racist.

Luis Aragones

Rafael is a great player. I think with both of us in there that we can really confuse defenses. They're not going to know where the ball is going. That's something that can work fairly well.

Tony Dixon

When you're dealing with a position player, the last thing you want to see them do when they've had a leg injury is to be able to run bases, stop, start and do those things at 100 percent. And he's getting closer every day.

Kevin Rand

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that an industry player would make a bid, though it would be more legitimate for a financial company to make such a bid.

Jon Cartwright

Each player must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

Voltaire

He was a decent football player. He was an offensive lineman for us. When he got older he went straight to baseball.

Travis Biggs

I've never seen an NHL player bet on an NHL game and, quite frankly, if it ever happened I'd be very disappointed.

Chris Therien

He would be a very good poker player.

Larry Mize

She's becoming more of a complete player and not as worried about the scoring box.

Don Eckerle

Greg has been the No. 1-ranked player in the country all season long. He really is the complete package.

Gary Stokan

I am delighted to see him back again. He's a creative player who will help the club move forward over the next few years.

Brian Ashton

She's the quickest player on the floor. The way that she scored she ought to score, driving past people and laying it up.

Andy Landers

Part of being a professional hockey player is that you can't wager bets. That's part of the business that we have to accept with pride.

Mike Foligno

He is a very exciting player. He's one of those guys who will bring you off your feet. He is super-athletic. He can do things on the wing. He can guard one through five and he can put the ball on the floor. He has a chance to be a very good player. He is a highlight reel waiting to happen.

Kevin Keatts

I talk to him once or twice a week. He's enjoying it, and he is learning a lot. He is tired, but that comes with being a college football player.

Jesse Hicks

I still see myself as a young player, still learning a lot and still have got a lot to learn. But still, every year, I get more comfortable. I don't feel like a coach yet, but it's getting there.

Marcus Trufant

He's an aggressive player who plays hard and intense every single down.

George Porritt

Tipton was the best player on the court. If there is a better player in the West Region tournament, who is he?

Pat Fuscaldo

She was just a very, very special player from the day she walked in the door.

Linda Bamrick

R.J. is a hell of a player. He's definitely more than capable. That's the luxury of having three guys like that -- because of games just like this one.

Scott Padgett

The only player I know from that team is the running back: Butkus.

Marlin Jackson

The only thing I believe is this: A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules.

Sparky Anderson

She is an all-around great player in all aspects of the game. She makes the kinds of passes you see on TV, which brings people to the gym.

Mark Stinson

It puts us one slot ahead of where we might have been and we can take a player we have our eye on.

Scot Mccloughan

It's not a concern for me, ... I just have to show them that I'm a player, no matter what people want to call me. I think I'll fit in fine if I just do what I know I can.

Ryan Gomes

The thing we like best about Jax is the more important the game or the situation, the better he plays. That's a good quality to have for a hockey player.

Rob Sumner

She really just joined us and has been a nice surprise. She's a basketball player but proved today that she can play softball too.

Jacquie Joseph

Tireless two-way player who was relentless but clean.

Aaron Ellis

An expert player will carry 10 to 15 discs; a beginner maybe three.

Steve Kremer

I think he's got a good nose for the football. He's a full-speed player. He tackles well. He's a really, really good athlete, and that's what you're looking for.

John Chavis

As you can tell, she is a playmaker. She is a real special player.

Craig Junker

[It all starts with freshman first singles player Alena Tesone.] She's real consistent and aggressive, ... She is doing great.

Jamie Graham

He does everything well. He always wants to get better. That's the sign of a good player. Coming in as a freshman, he was really talented and now he's a much better player because of all the work he's put in.

Keelan Amelianovich

When his name first came across my ear, I said without hesitation that I'd love to have Stevie Ray Lloyd. He's a very dedicated, tough, committed football player who loves the game and is going to help us do what we need to get done on defense.

Danny Rocco

Emily is the hardest working player I have seen. There is no doubt that Columbia State is getting a great player.

Ricky Thompson

Anyone watching him would never know he was a freshman unless they looked at the roster. Jeremy Chappell is a tremendous player. As a freshman, he has made a huge impact. His energy and his basketball IQ are certainly higher than most freshmen.

Jim Ferry

Sacramento has some room on its roster for a player who does well in vet camp.

Doug Neustadt

He gives us another option. He's a quality player who is obviously looking to get games under his belt.

Steve Bleasdale

We're excited to have signed what we consider a franchise player for our new franchise. The future looks bright for the team and our fans.

Anthony Veliz

I'm looking forward to it. He's one of the greatest players ever, and I'm a fan along with being a player. For sure, having him back would be motivating.

Jack Taschner

He was trying to make me more of a team player, not alter me as a person. That caused some friction, until I realized he was right.

Ben Bennett

She's out utility player. She can play five different positions in one game. She's the glue of the team.

Tom Husser

Everybody out there is a great player, and our team was really unselfish. It was a little frustrating when your shots wouldn't go down, but it was always fun.

Tasha Cannon

McDonald's name came up, but he's not the player for me.

Colin Todd

We've got a very disciplined football club with one player who can't live up to it and now has to show us he can to get back into our squad.

John Worsfold

The two sports are night and day. But, they play on one another. A good wrestler can be good football player or vice versa.

Rob Puterio

I would rather have a player who showed a bit of heart out there than one who just accepted things.

Fergie

We took a shot at him when no one else was interested. Our development people did an outstanding job getting him ready. He's going to be an excellent player.

Terry Collins

That's the guy you want to take the shot. He's our go-to player and he made a huge play right there.

Paul Brooks

He's a great player. He's tough to play against, he's 6-9 and I'm 6-2 so I just tried to go hard to the basket and get fouled.

Julian Mclain

The guy is a great player. He had two bad games.

Jermaine Wiggins

She's a versatile player, a key asset.

George Tullier

He gives us good depth along the blue line. We didn't think a player of his caliber was going to be available. We knew him from our games (against Quad City).

Danton Cole

Our bass player left for Austin, and Scott learned how to play the upright bass in a month.

Mike Fluno

It's not an ideal thing for a player to think, but I really didn't care if I would get injured in this game. That's how much I really wanted to win this one. That's how we were driven to this championship.

Ichiro Suzuki

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.

Pam Borton

Thad's a good player. When it came down to crunch time, he made his shots.

Willie Kemp

It's like a fire. If you have kindling and you have to put something on that fire to keep it going then I guess that's what you do with a junior college player.

Dave Simmons

To me, four years is a big commitment, both for the organization and the player. We're very happy to get this done.

Dave Dombrowski

He's a good player. See what I mean? He's got a dead eye.

Nadine Turcotte

Jimmy's going to get his [hits]. He's a great player. I just happened to be the last pitcher.

Josh Hancock

Boy, did you send me a hell of a football player. This kid's a card or two short of a full deck, but can he hit.

Bill Mallory

Cammi is USA Hockey, really. Every single player on our roster has learned something from Cammi Granato and she'll leave that legacy whether she's here or not.

Angela Ruggiero

He has the confidence in his game that allows him to get that shot off and make it. He had no doubt in his mind he was going to make it. A great play by a great player.

Torrell Martin

[Keith] is really an all-around player. He is probably the best athlete on the team.

Coleman Smith

There's no player that we respect more than Isaac, both for his performance on the field and for his work in the community. We just kind of ran out of time.

Jay Zygmunt

As a player, Jim had one of those days you dream about.

Steve Bieser

I think this is a well-deserved honor for Janae. She came in and played at a high level. She was very instrumental in our improvement. She's a very versatile player who contributes in many ways.

John Wardell

I don't think any of this stuff bothers him. He's a good player who just comes and plays hard and whatever happens, happens. He can do a lot of different things for us.

Jim Boehne

Kyle's very intelligent, very football smart. He's willing to learn about the upcoming defenses as an offensive player. He's a good kid and works hard.

Justin Higgins

We've lost a key defensive player and right now we don't know how long Pat will be out. He'll be tough to replace.

George Sullivan

He'll look at a player's demeanor on film and decide what the player had for dinner and how he's feeling and what his girlfriend told him last night.

Spike Dykes

Going to camps with Noelle Quinn, I always thought she's the best player I've ever played against. She is the Magic Johnson of our game. She can do it all.

Katie Gearlds

Eliza got (to the final four) as people's pawns, not as a prominent player, ... Scout is strictly there because she can't do anything.

Julie Berry

Lakeside had some tough adjustments to make, losing probably their best player. I thought in the second half they did a great job making some adjustments and probably figuring out a few things they can do and what they'll probably continue to do without him.

Pat Donahue

He does everything, and he does it well. Paul was just being Paul. He's a big-time player and came through like big-time players do.

Jim Stephens
