Plays Quotations | Page 6

She's throwing well. She's just playing with tremendous confidence. The team has made some great plays behind her. If we get her a couple of runs for a lead, as a coach, it's a great feeling.

She's a terrific jump shooter and plays within herself. I think she's a player who probably is the reason this team wins a lot of games.

She's a player that has been able to do it all. She plays tremendous defense. She handles the ball as well as any guard I've seen in this county. And she doesn't have a fear. She's going to drive in. She's going to the basket. She's quick as a cat. She has tremendous touch on the ball. She has tremendous reach with her arms. And she is quick on her feet.

She's an outstanding player, obviously. I really think she stepped up down the stretch. We tried some different things. She made great plays down the stretch.

She's so accurate with the driver, and she hits it so long as a female, that gives her an advantage against almost everybody she plays against. And she maintains her composure so well. If she hits a poor shot she comes right back and follows it up with a great shot. But she doesn't hit many poor shots.

She's really an outstanding defender. She plays great defense but the coaches and scouts, they all spoke to the fact that they were really impressed with the way she handles the ball and runs the court.

She's probably the most underrated player in the county. But she just makes all the right plays when we need them.

She's just a big hitter. She's got some experience now and she just plays her position very well.

She sits down and plays defense. She has good timing on steals. She is able to contain people on the perimeter and gets a lot of five-seconds calls because of her pressure defense.

She's been our leading scorer, and she plays with so much energy. I'm fortunate to have her for another year.

She's banged up and she'll be the first to tell you, but she plays her butt off every game. She plays as hard as anyone out there....She's in great shape and as we enter the Big Ten tournament, that's going to be important because she may have to play every game, every minute. She'll rise up to the challenge.

She's a veteran so she's more experienced. I'm sure she's going to help me out a lot, teach me the plays and tell me the in and outs, so I'm just going to be there to just listen to her.

She's a veteran so she's more experienced and I'm sure she's going to help me out with plays and showing me the ins and outs. I'll definitely be there to listen to her.

She's got a real attitude for standing up for what she thinks. She plays a mean guitar, she's a great rock 'n' roll singer and we have a great relationship. She's kind of a little sister to me.

She's everything that you can ask for in a basketball player and a teammate. She's going to be so difficult for us to replace. She defends, she rebounds, she takes care of the ball, she plays hard and does everything she's asked.

She's our leader. When she plays well, we all play well. When she is off, we're all off.

She's only 5-foot-8, but she plays off the ceiling. She gets up so quick and she beats 6-footers.

She's one of the top players in the area. She plays for the Fort Wayne Fever which is one of the top club teams in the state.

She's obviously the equalizer against anyone who plays us. She's so steady, she's the foundation for us. She keeps us under control.

She's done a real good job. She works very hard to get in the proper position and then she's very good making plays on the fly of the ball.

She's definitely a dominator out there as far as when she's on the court. She makes big plays for us. She can basically handle all of the spots (on the floor). When our point guard is down, she can bring the ball up the court. She can post up, and she's a great wing player.

She's causes problems because she's 5-10 and can play outside or inside. We've got a lot of set plays for her.

She's making progress. It affects her conditioning. It's hard for her to be sharp. It affects her teammates because they're not making the same plays to the same person in practice.

Shady in Latin, said Lindsay, but topping in Plays and Aldrich.

On a play two plays earlier, Brad was blocking Mathias and cut-blocked him to finish the play -- in full view of the umpire,

(Ole Miss) just did everything that was necessary, but our team made plays down the stretch. When we lost the lead, I thought several players stepped up and did things well.

On a few plays we got the high screen pick and roll and hit the big man sealing down low. After Trevor cooled off, the pick and roll opened up.

Oh yeah. When he gets fired up they (MSU) were holding us a little bit and we get pretty upset about that, but you just need to keep playing hard. And that's the thing: everyone on defense is playing hard and A.J. is no exception. He plays hard every play. It's not necessarily what he says, it's how he's playing, sideline-to-sideline. Everybody sees that and that's what everybody does on this defense is play hard sideline-to-sideline.

Oh, yeah, I will, for sure. This won't get me down. You know that. I'll keep shooting and keep trying to make plays for my teammates.

Oh, we're most definitely concerned. You always are when somebody does something and does it well. They have possession receivers and a quarterback that does a good job. We're playing a team that can create big plays and we can't afford to let them have that.

Some actors are brilliant in David Mamet, but they would crash and burn in my plays and visa-versa. You either have my music in your body, or you don't.

Some nights it's scoring, some nights it's not. Some nights it's defending. If everybody falls in and plays their role to the best of their abilities, we don't worry about who gets credit and we're a hard team to beat.

Show me a man who plays a good game of golf and I'll show you a man who is neglecting something - John F Kennedy

Shoot, he plays every position on the court. He's just a guy who hurts you in whatever position he plays no matter who guards him.

Shooting free throws has been a strength of ours all year. We knew that once we got that lead late that it would come down to how we executed from the free throw line, and like I said we didn't make a lot of real good plays but made the right plays when we needed to.

She gives us that added element of being able to push the ball. Just her presence on the court speeds up the game ? that's how she plays all the time. She was really a spark for us.

She gives 'em the shoulder, gives 'em the arm. She plays physical.

She gets the ball in the right people's hands. She plays great defense, and she doesn't turn the ball over often.

She deserves it. When you look at her stat line, she plays close to 32 minutes a game. She's an outstanding practice player. She had some opportunities, she got some good looks, and it's the confidence hopefully that's going to get her moving.

She competes well, never gives anything away and plays an offensive style. She has improved her serve and is always attacking, ... shouldn't be an albatross because she knows what she can do and what she can't do.

She has good ball control, she's getting her 3-point shot down and she plays with a lot of guts. I can tell that if she continues to work hard, she's going to be a good star in high school and college.

She has been doing that a lot lately. She plays up and harasses the other team's point guard. That makes the other team do something different with their offense. It spreads them out a little bit more and makes a little bit of a longer pass which we hope to pick off.

She has a lot of court experience. When the competition rises, she plays always plays harder.

She does everything well. The thing about her is she plays harder than anybody else on the floor.

She does a lot of the little things that don't show up in the box score. She plays tough defense, sets screens and passes the ball. There isn't a coach in the state that wouldn't want her on their team.

She does a lot of the dirty work inside. She's strong and she plays excellent defense. She has defended every center we've played this year.

She has too much ability to not play well. She just came out and just shot it and made plays. She found a way to be a real basketball player (Tuesday) as opposed to just somebody who plays point guard at Connecticut and runs up and down the floor. (Tuesday) she was a real basketball player.

She has the best nose for the ball than anybody we have. She plays real hard. It used to be take it to the basket, take it to the basket but now she takes jump shots and she made a few of those tonight.

She has played very well this season, despite being the primary focus of each team we play. She plays so hard each and every game and is an inspiration for her teammates.

She has a great all-around game. She plays inside and outside. She guards the top-scoring opponent. She's intense, too. She just hustles so much all the time.

She had good bonus highs, which are important. She dances and she plays it up to the crowd.

She had big parts in both of those wins. She plays tough every night and plays tough consistently through the whole game. You don't see kids put in that effort as consistently these days.

She always plays hard. She has just been working harder with her shot selection and getting in her range for her shots. We tried to set up a few more things to give her opportunities for penetration.

She does yeoman work all the time. The kid?s 5-foot-8 but she plays 6-foot-something girls every day.

She doesn't have to score the goals to make you notice her on the field. She plays both ends of the field. She's in excellent shape. She normally plays all 80 minutes.

Since we have everybody back, we know exactly what we need to do to go out there and get it done. Fly around, make plays and use our speed.

Since I got out of grad school at NYU, I've always done as many plays as I can.

She's a great shooter, who's already playing a lot of minutes for us. She's certainly one of the top young kids in Utah County and there are a lot of good ones. She plays well every night, and she's obviously our future.

She's a great player and a great leader. It was gutsy of her to come back and do what she did. She always plays big in the big games but this definitely was one of her best performances ever.

She's a great girl, really fun and the public love her. She really plays and she never gives up - I have a lot of fun when I play her.

She's a great example for young people who want to accomplish something. She plays so much basketball, and that's how she's gotten better.

She's aggressive and she's a good athlete that plays with a lot of emotion and a lot of passion down on the blocks. She has really been a big difference-maker for Butler. They really haven't had an inside presence in a while. To come in here and score 28 on us is pretty incredible.

She's a freshman and still new to Division I. We made sure to know their plays and we have a good idea of how she's going to play. I get the pleasure tomorrow of marking up on her and I'm going to make sure she knows who Boston University is and that a freshman isn't going to come out and score on this team.

She's about 5-foot-9 and plays basketball, and jumps well. When she came out and was just messing with the high jump, I knew she was going to be good.

She pretty much plays the same game now as she did in high school.

She plays with the heart of a champion. She will do anything you ask.

She plays with more integrity than any young violinist I have ever heard.

She plays with her emotions on her sleeve, she's going to yell every once in a while. But her being emotional on the court is what makes her as good as she is. She just had to learn how to channel those emotions in the right direction and not allow other teams to get into her head. And that's why she had the season she had.

She plays with a lot of confidence. She looks like a senior out there.

She plays to win and she is a very mentally tough person. She just can't stand to lose.

She plays the whole game, she's always moving forward and she's opportunistic in front of the goal. When you have a player of her ability with the passion she has for the game, it's contagious for the whole team.

She plays so well when the game is on the line. She just wants the ball and, when she makes up her mind, there's nobody who's going to stop her. She showed that in the playoffs.

She plays post on offense and guards point guards on defense. That's a rare breed. She leads by example and heart. If I asked her to run through the wall, she'd ask me at what speed and should I do it more than once.

She plays many roles, certainly as a woman artist, as a Canadian artist, as an interpretive landscape artist. She really has multiple layers.

She plays every minute of every game and genuinely cares about the outcome. She deserves the recognition.

She plays defense, but we gave her the green light to decided when she thought she could take it up and take the shot as well as be back on defense if she had too. She did a great job of covering both ends of the ice. Her stamina is incredible.

She plays big. Our kids know as long as they score goals, she'll hold up her end of things.

She plays big in big games. She put us on her back.

She plays big for us. She can play inside - she's as strong as an ox - and she can shoot outside.

She plays at post for them but she has the speed of a guard and she's playing with a lot of confidence. I think Danielle gets better and better every game and I think her best days are ahead of her.

She is our leader. She is that one captain that is in charge of stretches and gets on to people. The other two captains are not like that. Sam gets on them, and she is vocal. No other player plays harder than she does. She gives everything she has.

She is just going to keep getting better and better. She's tough and plays so hard. We've just got to get our post players playing that same way. We didn't get anything out of them today.

She is committed to golf. She plays with a purpose because golf is important to her.

She quickly got over that. I respect her game, too. She plays really hard.

She kept throwing them off balance today. Our defense did not have to make a lot of plays today, which is a big deal in a game like this.

She just reads it so well and plays it tactically so well. I think by getting more matches and more rhythm she's going to improve even more.

She just continues to come up with big hits. But we got lucky and gutted it out. We had a lot of plays that went for errors.

She is the type of player any coach would love to have. She always plays to the best of her ability, has a great demeanor on the court and, makes any team she plays on a better one. It was always fun watching her play, unless it was against us. She is deserving of Player of the Year honors.

She moved so well without the basketball tonight and you have to compliment our girls because they did a great job looking for her. I?m just thankful the girls did a great job of executing the plays and setting screens for her and getting her a lot of open looks.

She might be a freshman in class but not on the basketball floor. She plays with the same intensity that any upperclassmen does.

She made the plays when she had to make them whether we were keeping her in check or not. And that's what big-time players do in big games. Whether it's an assist, a foul shot, an outside shot, a drive to the hole, a steal - and she did that four times.

She made all the plays late and to her credit she's going to be a good one for them as she continues to play for them the way she played tonight.

She is a huge talent. You can tell that she plays hard and she's works as hard as she can to make things happen.

She is a great player and a true point guard. She plays in the European 'B' league, and she has been asked to turn pro and get on the fast track to the French national team. But she wants to fulfill her dream of coming to America and playing college basketball.

She helps call plays and always does the little things you need. She knows where everyone is supposed to be because I think she's real comfortable in the system and what we're trying to do.

Most teams will not give you the plays downfield, ... particularly when you've got a guy like Santana, who has made big plays. You've got to be patient, and you've got to take what's available to you with the underneath stuff. So it's about being patient, but sometimes that's really hard to do, because you want to get that ball downfield.

Mike plays with a lot of passion in everything he does. It showed tonight.

Mike makes plays you'd never expect high school kids to make.

Mike is strong as a bull, and a surprisingly fast guy. And he's one of those players whose motor only has one speed - all out. He plays so hard that he gives the other team all kinds of problems.

Mike has really developed into a guy where if you need a goal, you have him in on the ice and the same when you are defending the lead. He plays in all situations and provides leadership in the dressing room. He logs a ton of ice time.
