Fred Jones Quotations

We're not blaming nothing on nobody. We're grown men. We've just got to find a way to stay on the floor.

Like I said earlier, I don't know how to explain it. It's something we have to turn around. We're putting ourselves behind the eight ball at the start of the game and it's not working for us. We have to figure out something.

My sense is that this plan is well within that. Our intent is to do most in the condominium format.

If we could pinpoint it, we would change it in a heartbeat. You go through stretches like this throughout a long season.

I am a little surprised by the start. I just wasn't sure what we had coming in.

I'm all right; I don't need to do it this year.

He was a real surprise. He was not afraid to take the big shots and he hit some big shots for us. He was a pleasant surprise but I think he's just getting started. I really think he's going to play his best basketball at the next level.

We've been trying to improve as the season has gone on. We know we'll have to be playing our best basketball when the tournament comes around.

What you saw was the difference between a veteran team and a young one like ours. The veteran teams do the right things down the stretch to win games. They make the right decisions. We're young and we didn't do the things it takes to win.

Greg carried us the whole game. He just took it upon himself. This is his senior year, his last home game at Battle Creek Central and he was determined not to let us lose.

Hamas is a terrorist organization, should disarm, and renounce violence. We will not talk to any elected officials who are members of a terrorist group.

Jermaine blocks a lot of shots, but he might have felt he just couldn't get to it. That's his decision.

I wish we really knew (what's going on). With everybody on this team coming back at different times, our chemistry hasn't been completely there all year. Nobody has been on the floor at the same time. Everybody is trying to work back into playing together with everybody's style. It hasn't clicked for us.

We do not believe that, in the end, a democratic state can be built when parties or candidates seek power not only through the ballot but through terrorist activities as well.

We're willing to accept all offers of help and all offers of assistance are welcome.

We came out, jumped on them, and stayed on top. My teammates are doing a good job getting me the open shots and I'm knocking them down. That's the way I should be playing.

We haven't even met with lift manufacturers to know what our options are.

We are not making excuses. We have guys on this team that can play basketball. All of us have to step up when people are out and win games. There is no excuse. We would love to have had them, but they couldn't go and we all had to step up.

We didn't do anything right and as bad as we played, we were fortunate to be down one at halftime.

We're coming together more, learning each other's games a little better and getting a good feel for each other. We're having fun out there.

You lose a person of this magnitude, it's a hard pill to swallow. He is someone I've admired for years.

We were able to put the losses behind us and get off to a good start. We knew they were a good first-quarter team, but we were able to jump out to the early lead.

We're trying to keep it in smaller modules.

The gradations of seriousness is not something I've looked into,

We didn't make the shots we needed to make. That's a young team. Those things are going to happen.

Each win is always important. Regardless of who is in the lineup or who we are facing, we are expected to come out and compete and play hard. Charlotte handed it to us earlier this year, so we knew they were going to come to play. Everybody gets paid in this league.

Fast, that's the best way to describe him. He's so light, too, that you can't use your body on him. He can get to wherever he wants on the floor and he can make tough shots.

The United States does not torture. We've said this numerous times in numerous venues. We follow law. The report cites no evidence of any secret prisons or any evidence that the United States was complicit in torture.

Quinn and I were out fishing on the flats two or three months ago. We went up the creek, and our fishing got cut because of the tide going out.

Prime Minister Howard thanked the president for his personal concern for the Australian people and noted that it was appreciated.

Some days that people didn't get to see, some days in practice, he looked like the best player on this team. He's that athletic. He's that skilled. It's really unfortunate he's not able to showcase everything he's been blessed with.

They tried to corner me before I left and make me tell them. Jonathan Bender tried to give me some ideas. But he's 7 feet tall. A lot of the stuff he can do, I can't.

There was no fatigue factor. At that point of the game, with one stop to win the game, you're not worried about being tired. You're trying to do your best to get a stop. We just didn't get it.

It's just one of those things that happens. We'll just see what happens next.

I try to dunk with power, use all my strength. If that rim comes off, great.

It's not going to get better so it's either play now or sit out. It's hurts every time something hits it. I've got to deal with it.

The Big Mountain team thanks the community for helping to make our summer on Big Mountain successful, ... We were surprised and very pleased with the response to Summit Fridays. As we now turn our focus on preparing for winter, we hope that the community will continue to utilize the hiking and biking trails on the mountain until the snow flies.

It was a good look. He flew by me. Maybe I should have jumped into him and drawn the foul or took one dribble to gather myself because I was a little off-balance, but I still felt like I had a good look.

Not having to extend so much energy guarding (Carter) tonight gave us a little more energy to use on the offensive end. You have to set your defensive presence toward him.

The key to our ski business is getting more skiers here during the week.

I knew I had to put a lot more on my shoulders. I've gotten a lot more confident in my game and I've been trying to take advantage of it.

I just don't have it like I used to have it.
