When we engraved the 442 names on the back of the medals - that's when the reality sinks in. Everybody in the whole plant had to be involved to check the names and match the medals with the cases.

Sofia Boutella

When I was little, I went to the Sahara desert and met an older woman with beautiful earrings that came all the way down to her stomach. She told me, 'For us Tuareg, jewelry is not meant for decoration. It absorbs negative energy that comes your way.' So think twice when you buy a vintage ring!

We're going to miss all of the good things he's done for us. I think he's been a classic overachiever. Because you're an overachiever doesn't mean you're not a good player. But he's certainly maximized his talent, which I think is a tremendous compliment.

We've averaging 61 points per game, but the thing that makes me the proudest about this team is its defense. We've held teams to an average of 31 points per game. A lot of players get to play (as a result of big leads), and that means the kids on the bench are doing a good job defensively as well.

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved.

Stan Conte

We're going to play a lot off of what Barry tells us, because he's the only one who knows how his knee is going to feel. It's always going to be a day-to-day, week-to-week, month-to- month thing. You can't help but be pleased that he came here, he did some good stuff, he left, and we'll see how it is tomorrow.

We've asked them to slow down and think this thing through a little bit better.

Ted Spadaro

We're going to try and slow them down some-you just don't stop those kind of people. You just give them different disguises on defense and try to keep them guessing.

Tim Ruskell

We're going to take it slow and see how Ken goes. There's still more testing. We would never want to do anything that would harm him as we go forward.
