Floor Quotations | Page 2

We're looking for three votes, and I can't tell you today who the three will be, but I think the power of the success coming from the floor of the Senate today will give us the necessary momentum and encouragement to do what we all know is the right thing to do.

We want to put our best players on the floor at any given time. Some teams happen to be guard-oriented like us.

We have to guard them like they have to guard us. They have to prove it. They have to step on the floor the same night we have to step on the floor.

We have to find other ways to use Tyson. The main thing is he has to find ways to stay on the floor by not fouling. We've got to get him the ball and ... let him do some different things.

We have no higher stewardship, no higher calling than to come onto this floor and into this chamber and make the tough decisions.

We wanted to win the battles all over the floor and that's what we did.

We wanted to try and make them put the ball on the floor and come off the dribble. We knew they could hit 3-point shots. We had to get up inside there and make them put the ball on the floor.

We were trying to get the ball to Brittany Brooks, our best 3-point shooter who has hit big shots all year. We didn't execute as I had hoped, but we had chances. Pretty much everybody on the floor had a chance at tying it up, and we just didn't finish them.

This will provide better access. People won't have to go the second and third floor any more.

We did not have enough effort at the defensive end of the floor in the first half. We did a better job in the second half. We had to do a better job defensively. They were rotating and their kids were running hard through the screens. (Nolan) does a nice job running their sets.

We're a better team when I'm on the floor and up until the Houston game, I was playing well. The seniors need me out there. Hassan needs me out there to help out and I do a better job as far as disrupting teams when I'm out there and we're a better team when I'm out there. I think everybody can see that.

We ran the floor well, passed well, and did all the things we need to do to win.

We ran the floor well but we made some poor decisions early; we threw the ball around. For us to be successful, we've got to shoot well and we've got play good defense.

We ran the floor and scrapped and played hard that whole first half. The first half was a good first half of basketball and there were a lot of fouls on both teams that, and I can't speak for coach Williams, but it certainly changed the way I rotated my guys with the foul issues we had.

We ran over and made sure nobody was in the house and we found out someone was in the second floor of the second house and we got them out.

We're a pretty physical team. We preach, 'You bang bodies, you go after people in a legitimate way, get on the floor for loose balls.' We expected that from (the Patriots), so it wasn't really a major surprise.

We hope to go to the floor early next month with that legislation. We think we will get a strong bipartisan vote in the House for regulatory relief.

We had no intensity on defense to start and they just ran up and down the floor on us but we came back a little in the second half. We needed to get our shooters better looks when we got it back to six or eight, but we ended up turning the ball over and then they get easy baskets the other way. We need to be more patient on offense.

We did petition the IHSAA to allow us to play with a sixth man on the floor so we could get equal numbers in terms of total inches and weight, but it was denied.

We have players we haven?t actually seen out on the floor, with the exception of a couple guys playing now, ... But I want to see the players out on the floor. We can always say we want to add this, add that, but to actually see the players out on the floor once they get there, in person so I can see their strengths and weaknesses, I think that?s the best thing to do rather than say, ?Let?s go get this, get that.? Every coach can say that at some point.

We have played better at the end of the games. We have tended to make some pretty good plays on both ends of the floor when the game is on the line.

We've seen better success using firewalls to separate the shop floor from the front office than using anything else.

The creation of a BDC should result in more business for Thrifty Car Sales dealers and happier customers. Our dealers were telling us they had a need for greater traffic flow to their locations, and the business development center is designed to do just that. This is a red-hot concept in the car sales industry right now. Lots of new car dealers with multiple brands are moving to a call/business development center strategy. It takes incoming calls off the showroom floor and channels them to dedicated professionals solely focused on making appointments. We were able to leverage the assets of our worldwide car rental reservation center to deliver an extremely cost-effective, state-of-the art, full-service call center for our dealers.

There is a lot at stake in this game. We know that Missouri State will come in here and play their best game of the year. We beat them on their home floor the first time in a really close game so we know they'll want to get us back.

When I dunk, I put something on it. I want the ball to hit the floor before I do.

This really feels good for these seven seniors. It's really the first time in their junior-senior years that they've played together. Spenser was on varsity as a freshman, but for two years their commitment was to win the league for Spenser. They did that. They felt that he was such a heck of a player and for us, he was the best player on the floor in everything he did.

There are very few times you can go to the Senate floor and save lives, ... We have it within our power to spare the loss of a child. It is something we ought to do.

There are varying levels of intricacies of how a parking guidance system could operate. It could direct users to a specific floor or a specific parking space.

The only place I'm moving will be on the dance floor tonight. We'll think about that stuff later.

We've scared the leaders a lot so far. It's exciting. I got in on the ground floor of the planning and am enjoying that.

We can no longer carry the burden of this underperforming product line. So we're now exploring other strategic options including the sale of our floor care business.

When the oil market notices that China is back, and remembers the fire that China's exploding oil demand lit under prices last year, the 'China factor' alone should be sufficient to floor near-term prices.

We were blown off the floor in every way from top to bottom. Classical was tough in the post, they made shots, and they played very good defense. We played okay for a 5-to-8-minute stretch, but we played poorly at both ends. It's just one of those games that you'll have to throw in the barrel and move on.

When you come into the restaurant, to the left, you will see a traditional restaurant. To the right, we'll have the cafe, which is more like a comfortable coffee shop with couches, a hardwood floor and a fireplace.

When those guys are on the floor we feel we're a varsity team in Vermont who can play with anybody.

We're glad she made it back, but she's a team player and she'll tell you that it was everybody on the floor that turned things around for us.

Luke's number will be called in situations like that. He showed a lot of character to drive the length of the floor and score.

Mainly it's Marcus, to be honest with you. Marcus is telling me a whole lot of times where to go. He'll just come up to me after a play and say, 'Next time slip that.' I'll be like, 'All right,' and he'll just throw a perfect pass. It just really helps to have a guy like him on the floor leading us.

(Mack is) about 6-foot, her work ethic is good and she can shoot the jump shot. A couple colleges were at the Centennial game (Mifflin won 65-55 on Dec. 16) and they really like her because she can run the floor really well.

Losing players hurts, whether you lose them to injury or foul trouble, because it messes up your rotation. But losing one player does not cripple my team. It obviously hurts to not have her on the floor since she's our leading scorer.

Loud, excessive grunting and throwing your weights around on the floor usually go together, so we try to avoid it.

Last year, we had a lot of new, young faces. It was Scott's first training camp with them. But now they've spent a whole year with Scott. We had some success. Now we should be able to step on the practice floor this week and have the attitude we're going to pick up where we left off.

Last year, we came up short and our sophomores put it on ourselves that we didn't want to do that again. So, we told ourselves we were going to leave it on the floor ... no regrets.

Last year, the dance floor was packed. I would recommend to get there early if you want to get a table near the dance floor.

Leaving the floor with a 31-30 halftime lead was big for us. We seemed to loosen up after that. We were patient offensively and that helped. We were able to cut and drive toward the basket. That freed up the perimeter.

Many of the friends I made from my floor and the floor above me are taking the same classes this semester. Since we all need general classes, we are taking them together. I don't think that would happen in any other dorm.

Many changes can be expected to be made to the legislation during the Senate floor debate. Sen. Lugar hopes the Senate will consider a consensus bill that updates immigration policy in a comprehensive way.

Senior players have helped us make our style work. It just opens the floor for us, whether people are in man or zone.

Self-service can help retailers better manage staff, especially during peak times. With self-checkout, store personnel can be redirected onto the floor to provide more product information, sales assistance and shelf restocking -- tasks that help contribute to improved levels of customer satisfaction.

Self-regulation will never get the bad actors, the free riders. It will never offer consumers that level of confidence you get if you have that floor of public regulation.

So it's fun to be on the ground floor of understanding what artists will be doing in the years to come.

Solid earnings reports are helping to put in a bit of a floor in the market. But the sensitivity here to the economic data given the question about the outlook for Fed tightening, that seems to be the overriding influence.

She's the leader and the extension of the coach on the floor and she gets more comfortable each time.

She's the glue that holds us together. She gives everyone confidence . . . She makes the right decisions. She is an extension of myself out on the floor because she knows exactly what I want and how I want things done out there.

She took the floor with poise and walked out and took care of business. Our bench has been the answer in conference play. Every single person contributes.

She was questionable going in and played with a great deal of pain. For a jump shooter, that's tough coming off the floor with that bounce, and I think that's why she struggled a little bit.

She was our leader, offensively and defensively. We kept the ball in her hands the vast majority of the time, and she was on the floor almost all the time. She usually defended the other team's best offensive player. She's got great anticipation and really quick hands.

She's tremendous. But she has been fabulous since she set foot on the floor here. Even as a freshman, she was never a true freshman. She has given every ounce of energy she has had and been a lot of fun to watch.

She was laying on the floor and she'd be having her arm around me.

She was just one of those all-around great players. She could dribble down the floor if you needed her to or shoot from the outside or inside. Whatever you needed her to do, she was there to do it.

She's small, but she's the strongest kid on the team. She came in with fire and intensity, got on the floor and grabbed loose balls. As small as she is, she's strong enough to box out and grab rebounds and produce offense. She has good moves. She's just small, so she really has to work twice as hard as everybody else.

She's sees the court well and moves the ball around. She's a great floor leader.

She's quicker than anybody on the floor and that's obvious. But if anything, she has a tendency to shoot too quickly. I told her to get her whole body looking at the basket, get your elbow underneath you and follow through. She did that.

She's just been a great floor general for us all year. She had a great tournament in Washington, D.C., and she starts things for us and keeps us balanced. It's harder to stop five people, so she helps to just spread things around.

She's been controlling the floor very well. She's been doing a great job.

She's got a very bright future. She's a very talented young lady who understands the game of basketball and the team concept. She understands her strengths and the strengths of the people around her. You want somebody like her out on the floor playing for you.

She's going to be a good one. She's a great floor leader. When you have a lot of guns like that, you need someone to direct the shooting and she does a good job of that.

She's our heart and soul. The kids look to her for floor leadership. Even for a young player, she has put this team on her back and hit big shots.

She sees the floor so well. This year, she has been up against some outstanding point guards and not only does the job on offense, but she's a strong defensive player (forced five turnovers). This was a signature game for her.

She sees the floor so well. She is able to find the open person and make great passes which is where her assists come from. She always makes the right pass at the right time.

She's definitely earned her reputation. She knows where she is on the floor at all times and she puts in the work. Everybody knows they have to stop her going into a game. Her reputation has preceded her now.

On a bigger court like (at Wells Fargo), hopefully we can get up and down the floor like we like to and make it an up-tempo game. That would be to our benefit.

Somebody has got to take charge on the floor for us. Hopefully we can right this quickly. Sometimes we just get scrambled, and when that happens, it gets ugly.

Some of Cheng's teammates also improved noticeably on vault and floor although they can't be compared to her at present.

Short term events like this which are unpredictable can drive a high price floor for crude prices. That is why we are seeing pricing in the high 50s even though the market is well supplied.

Shooting wasn't our problem. It was our effort at the defensive end of the floor and allowing them to get rolling. You can't do that against a team of San Diego's caliber. They got rolling and we paid for it.

She got hot when we needed her to. But she ran the floor well all night, she controlled the offense, she played good defense and showed me a lot of leadership on the floor all game long.

She goes hard to the basket. She's fearless. She's physically tough. She bounces off the floor and gets back up again.

She could be our most improved player because of the work she put in during the summer, and she was one of our better players last year. She's more athletic, she runs the floor well, and with that came confidence. She's really getting after it.

She does a lot of things on the floor that might not only be scoring. She's our team leader, she keeps the kids together, she helps them, she makes great passes. She does some solid things that might not be so evident when she's not scoring. But to me it's evident.

She did make an extraordinary difference for women as I can tell you from my own personal experience. I well remember the sense of awe when I came to Washington, D.C. ... as a senior in college, sitting across the desk from her. Little did I realize that because of the doors that she opened she would make it possible for me to sit one day at her very desk on the floor of the United States Senate.

She has the ability to score from anywhere. She has a great shooting touch and can score from inside, 3-pointers, or just put it on the floor and take it to the basket.

She has a big load on her shoulders. But I think she's doing a tremendous job trying to keep us together. She has stepped up on that floor and off that floor as a leader. She's a critical part of us putting the pieces of the puzzle back together.

She (Hager) will not compete on the floor at the conference meet. That has pretty much been decided already. Whether we add beam or vault depends on how she is feeling this week.

She had to work a lot. I probably should have taken her out, given her a little break, but I knew she wanted to be on the floor and I needed her on the floor because she's like a coach out there.

She always gets overlooked but she played a great game tonight. She's got the hurt ankle and she's the one diving on the floor for loose balls.

She's a good kid. I hope she has great success up there and I believe she will do it. She didn't just score, she would take over the boards. And besides that, she could run the floor and handle the ball coming up the court in pressure situations.

She's a good ball-handler. She handles pressure. She sees the floor real well and gets the ball to the shooters where they want to get it. I have so much confidence when the ball's in her hands.

She is our heart and soul on the court. She's our point guard. She's our floor leader. She shot well early in the season and then struggled for a while. But she's stepped in up here lately. Any scoring she does is an added bonus.

She really had fun and showed off her floor routine. She has so much poise. It's amazing --coming into a meet of this caliber and being so consistent on every event.

She ran our offense all year. She was a real floor leader for us.

She left everything on the floor and that is all we can ask of our players, to compete.

She knows all five positions on the floor and we will put her wherever we need her. There were times we had her on the point, had her in the post and had her on the wing.

She just stepped it up, ran the floor and was a great leader.

She never played without her back to the basket as a kid growing up because she was always taller, but now she's bringing the ball up the floor and I don't think it's phased her a bit. Her athletic ability is what carries her through.

She meant a lot for us, and was a stabilizing force on the team. We needed her on the floor for as many minutes as possible.

She makes so many things happen for us on the floor that I can't teach. Most kids don't see the floor, especially defensively, but she has a knack to play the passing lane and has an uncanny ability to get a hand on a pass. It seems like she is always in the right place at the right time.

Most of us play games for the fans. We run off that support and that excitement. It's always great to have a large crowd that gets into it when we make runs and it makes us get on the floor even more.

Mike would spend the night at the house. We'd stay up late and then get up in the morning and go to practice. Everything he did just emulated exactly what I was doing out there on the floor and you see what he can do now.

Moving to the floor right now would be an act of extremely poor faith. If we are going to have a bipartisan agreement then folks should be supportive of the conference and have some patience.
