Jump Quotations | Page 7

We do it European style, so you have to jump hay bales or wood logs.

We really played our best basketball. It was one of the few games I can say you could just enjoy. It was just really a tremendous basketball game for us and hopefully it's a peek into what we're capable of. Seasons are really funny. But I think those things are good. We jump right now into a hot stove.

We finally put ourselves in a position where (Hoskins) didn't catch it. She loves to drive baseline, so you have to take your chances with the jump shot. But it wasn't just Hoskins; a lot of other people hurt us.

We can't win. That's it. We've just got to continue to come out and play hard from the beginning of the game. In the middle of the game, and at the end of the game, we pick it up. We can't keep allowing teams to come out right away and get the jump on us.

We had great jump (Friday) and great jump (Saturday). We wanted to have great jump tonight. We wanted it, but it wasn't there. Somehow we've got to get through that. Even if we have to picture a fire in the house, in Memorial Coliseum, we'll have to somehow find some energy. Tonight, the well was there but it just didn't produce anything. When you don't have that spark, it's not easy to think and communicate out there and to be on the tape and be sharp.

We had a massive jump in the Conference Board measure of consumer sentiment last month, and everybody will be looking for confirmation of that improvement in the Michigan survey.

We have classes on Tuesday and Thursday. They are general in nature so we can include people who have signed up for the business program, even though we don't have a business program yet, there are some people who wanted to get a jump on the program. We have one course on Tuesday night, which is a leadership course and one course on Thursday night, which is an Issues in Professional Ethics course. And we have about 25 in each one of those courses, as well.

With the surprise jump in new home sales and the outsized rise in existing home sales, we now see that widespread talk of the demise of our moderate economic recovery has been somewhat exaggerated.

We're really playing as a team right now. We're starting to play to our strengths. Guys who handle the ball are handling the ball. Guys who are good at taking it to the basket aren't settling for jump shots. We're rebounding well, too.

We need to keep him off the glass number one. He's stepping away from the basket and making jump shots, so we have to pay attention to that detail. When he does post up, he's got some pretty good inside moves as well.

We can't jump over the elected officials to ask our (planning) staff to do something.

We have worked on it a lot. (Quarterback D.J.) Shockley just has great voice inflection. He's doing a great job of mixing up the cadence. I bet we're averaging three a game and maybe even more. We've gotten a bunch of people to jump offside just because of our cadence.

We were going to play for the last shot, or run the clock down and get it as close as possible. We did that. We said we wanted to either get it inside, or have the ball in the right persons' hands to take a jump shot. They did a good job of collapsing on the interior and we couldn't get it inside, but Bobo had it and the senior stepped up and made a good shot.

We were sloppy in the first half. We reached too much. We settled for jump shots instead of getting the ball inside.

We were shooting too many jump shots in the first half, and I tried to establish an inside game in the second half. We came out with the jitters, but all we had to do was relax and play our game.

Today the development has gained momentum as is evident from the jump in real estate prices.

Tristan's always been a great athlete who can create a lot of scoring opportunities with his athleticism, but he's really improved the way he shoots the ball from the perimeter. If you lay off of him he can hit those jump shots from the outside. If you come out to guard him, he can go around you.

Trevor, ... you haven't made a jump shot yet. Drive the ball!

Tremendous speed. He can jump sideways, ... And he doesn't seem to be bothered by the environment.

We didn't even wake up until the third period. We've been off two weeks, and it was their home opener, and they had more jump and just flat outplayed us for the first two and a half periods.

We allowed too many easy opportunities and it's something we've been harping on the last few games. Unfortunately it bit us once again.

But once again they scored too many lay-ups and had too many points in the paint.

Those first two were big confidence builders for us. We knew with the weather the way it was, that we needed to jump on them early.

Those jump shots were killers. You could probably go over six, seven, eight, nine plays that changed the game.

Those jump shots were killers. In a game like that, they were killers.

Unfortunately, people tend to see it as a black show because there are black characters. But it's easier to jump those lines of race now. There's a viewing audience that watches because it's a family show and it's funny.

We were just talking about who was the fastest in uniform, and I said Mike West. He got a good jump and he was gone. That's why we've got him at receiver. We're just teaching him how to run routes now.

When they feel they're blocked, they sit there and read the quarterback's eyes, ... They would just stop rushing, wait until I throw and jump up and knock the ball down. That shows they're a very aware team.

We're not going to expect a guy to jump into the league his first year and lead the WCHA in defenseman scoring. That's not realistic. I think our young guys are doing a good job, but they can continue to get better and continue to add more offense. We want them to do that.

We played an athletic, well-coached team, and we let them jump on us early. Our effort is there, but we've got to start executing and step up against better teams.

We did some things to get her some shots. She got going early. Everything works well when you hit the jump shot.

We are going to try and jump on them early. Swing a good strike.

We didn't do a good job on him the whole game. In the first half, he drove to the basket and made free throws. In the second half, he made jump shots. You just have to give him a lot of credit.

We still go over calls, ... It is hard in plain clothes to jump in because people will ask, 'Who is this guy?'

Tommy Les was one of the most determined basketball players I've ever been around. He was sort of like a basketball version of Pete Rose, only I think Pete Rose had a better jump shot.

There's a whole series of hoops that we have to jump through and yesterday was one of that series. We've cleared that hoop and we're still on target.

Tino just keeps getting better and better. He's getting the ball in good position and using his quickness to the basket. He's getting a lot of attention inside and when the defense has an edge, he does a good job of kicking it back out to give somebody an open jump shot.

You don't mind losing but we didn't even compete. This wasn't Hillhouse or West Haven. We're relying on the jump shot because we're not getting anything inside and when the shots don't drop we struggle.

We definitely wanted to get the ball inside. But the thing is that we had the shots to take, but we just didn't take them. We weren't taking jump shots period. That's something that we'll address in practice, but hats off to Hampton. We lost to a good team.

We definitely talked about that. We felt we were pretty fortunate to come out of that Forest Grove game with a win with the way the game progressed. To come out with a win, it should have jump-started us for this week. We definitely talked about that with these guys. I was pleased with the approach today that they came in with. We were able to jump on them early.
