Bill Fennelly Good Quotations

This was as good of a team effort as we've had in a long time. I'm very proud of them. This is not going to go down in history as an earth-shaking, dramatic top 10 win for Iowa State women's basketball, but I don't think you can tell the kids that and I don't think you can tell the coaches that. It was special.

She's a great player, as good as I've ever seen and coached against.

That would be the plan. Any minutes she could give would be good just to give people a rest.

We felt that was the way we had to play them. That's how we got back in the game at Kansas, playing a switching man, and that made them believe this is a good way to play.

Coach (Jack) Easley scouted this game, and our kids were calling the plays just like (Nebraska) were. We were energized and when you play good defense it helps your offense and when you play good offense it helps your defense.

You don't feel good when you lose, and if you do, there's something wrong. At the same time, you've got to be realistic, and for our team to be down 19 points on the road and all the things that we were fighting through, I was proud that we just didn't say, 'It's time to chuck it in.' We did everything but that.

I'm sure they're not going to be in a real good mood, and neither will we. We're having our problems, and they're having problems.

I don't know if I can make it that long. Will my son be a good head coach? Absolutely, positively there is no doubt in my mind that he will be a good coach.
