(Myers) did a good job on the inside. She and Julie Hayes limited the touches that Jackie Weaver got.

Now, when a high school player sends a personal letter, we'll definitely respond to that every time, because they took the time to contact us personally. I think that's probably the way to go.

I had a son who wanted to play college basketball, so this is what we did. We made up a resume sheet that had his picture, academic and athletic information, and then put together a good tape that showed some highlights of his season. After that we picked out 50 or so schools that he was interested in, and then mailed the packets. Then we followed up with phone calls. We ended up getting a great response. He signed with a school in Nebraska (York College) and got to play a few years before hurting his knee.

It gives each team an opportunity to compete against a team on a high level.

When they first came in, we lost our starting two-guard, and we had an All-American post player that decided not to come out for her senior year.

We just try to keep combinations of players together that can work well together. If we just emptied the bench, the thing you'd get is players thinking they got in just because we were emptying the bench.

This is a bunch of seniors and juniors. We're not going to be surprised when a game comes down to the final minutes. These girls have been in that position many times.

That five-point play was huge.. That really hurt us.

I just think that's probably the way to go about it instead of spending all that money.

I don't know if they raised the expectation level, but they just have performed better.

I'd pay five bucks, or whatever they charge, to get in. And I get in for free and get a spot on the sidelines. I don't know how you can beat that.
