Bernie Bickerstaff Opportunity Quotations

It gets down to the free throw line and making free throws. The opportunity was there.

The 11 guys in that room are giving it everything they've got and their decisions are good. And guys who have not had an opportunity before are stepping up and performing.

The opportunity was there. Offensively we were lethargic.

Everything in this basketball game was pretty much even, but they shot 33-of-39 (from the line). Everything else was pretty much even. It gets down to the free-throw line and making the free throws. The opportunity was there. That's no indictment on anyone but ourselves for not making free throws. It ends up really being the difference in your basketball game.

It was an easy decision to exercise the options for Matt and Alan. Their play earned them the opportunity to return and continue the strong progress made this season.

This is a great opportunity for him to play for a team that is vying for a championship. We didn't want to stand in his way, and we appreciate the professionalism and commitment he gave to our franchise last season.
