Transition Quotations | Page 4

I thought we did fairly well on defense and played a strong transition game. They have some tough girls and we did a good job shutting them down.

I thought we played great team defense for about three quarters. We were able to transition our offense off our defense and that made a difference. The girls know that they control their own destiny. If we keep winning, we'll have a shot at making it to district.

I thought we got out to a good start, had the transition game going pretty well. Everybody played well, everybody had about equal playing time, so our depth made the difference in the game.

I think we did a good job rebounding and pushing up the floor. We got some easy hoops in transition and we did a good job defensively.

I think we did a good job of going inside and out, and we just made a few more. Once you start making them, it's contagious. When more people are making them, people get in better rhythms. We got transition offense in the second half, which we didn't get in the first half, and I think that got us going for the 3.

I thought our transition game was really good tonight especially in the fourth quarter. Our guards did a really nice job of pushing the basketball up the floor and we are lucky enough to have big guys who run the floor as well as ours do.

I think we've got the transition set up pretty seamless. Obviously, weather plays a role in the painting of the field, but that's something we can't control.

I think we've been playing good defense. I think our team is starting to come around ... but we still have a lot of work to do. We've got to slow them (the Red Raiders) down and take away their two main scorers. We've got to get our transition game going and run our half court offense better.

I think we started pushing the ball and defensively kind of stepped up our pressure. Basically we just stepped up the intensity and were able to push the ball a little bit and get some transition buckets.

I think what this trade does is put us, hopefully, in the forefront of being a playoff team. We want to make the transition easy for Andrew.

I think what Cody does is take a lot pressure off our other guards and lets them fill their roles. Kendall gets to be a shooting guard and run the floor in transition ... that's some of the reason we've improved.

I think what you want to do is also focus on companies that are making the transition from old economy to new economy because they have 'old-economy' valuations, but are really joining the new economy and should have 'new economy' valuations.

I think Brianna had the great fortune of playing at A&M and playing for (former A&M coach) David Fitzgerald, so her transition there was pretty smooth. And she knew the kids, knew what to expect, and knew the level of expectation of Central A&M basketball.

I think a resolution like this is important to transition us to the next point.

I think a repeat performance of Saturday would be good. Our 1-2-2 zone held them for most of the game. We need to do a better job of stopping (Laura) Mount on the dribble drive. Offensively, we need to keep the tempo up. It needs to be a transition game.

I think it's obviously a little transition time for me. Going from in the past playing every day to really figuring out how to stay sharp. And timing is the biggest thing. I'm going a few weeks without at-bats, but I certainly feel the last few days better with my work and what I've accomplished there. So we'll see.

I think it's that we got a chance to practice a few days, give ourselves a chance to focus on how we want to get our shots and where we want them to come from. I think we're doing a better job of slowing down offensively when we don't have anything initially in transition and calling our sets and getting to the spots we want to get to. At least for the most part we're not forcing Baron or Jason or somebody to make a play against the shot clock every time.

I think it started with our defense and getting open shots. We shared the ball well and when you start off well in transition the half-court becomes easier.

I think it's really important in any kind of business transition that the person who's the owner drills down as deep as he can.

It has been a tough campaign, but once again Nigerians have proved themselves and turned out in numbers for this historic day, at least in my constituency, ... We are hopeful the transition to democracy will be smooth, and with the rest of the world watching, Nigeria will once again regain its former glory.

It has been a good year for many Denver merger and acquisition professionals. Many private equity firms have made and exited good investments, and are having success raising their next funds, while investment bankers are helping broker many deals. It's a hot and competitive market right now. Additionally, the first baby boomers turned age 60 in 2005. We are beginning the early stages of what is projected to be the greatest wave of business transition in U.S. history over the next decade.

I think that when my kids are pushing the ball in transition we are at our best. We started doing that a lot more in the second half and we converted.

It is long past time for this industry to make a transition to clean, safe energy sources, ... The public can no longer tolerate the health and environmental threats caused by continued reliance on old, dirty coal plants.

Last year, it was more of a transition from getting out of what Lovie wanted. You had guys questioning certain calls, just because we knew what Lovie probably would've called in that situation. We don't second-guess anything now.

I was worried that we would come out with some nerves, which we did, and we're lucky we got over it. It took us three quarters to settle down and run the offense. We forced some shots that we shouldn't have, and we made some bad entry passes. I'm OK with the turnovers in transition because I want us pushing the ball.

I went to St. Mary's School and to St. James High School. We left just before my senior year and moved to California. My dad was a painter in Grand Forks and a house painter in California. My mother was sick, and my grandmother and aunt lived out there, so our transition was family-covered. It was very eye-opening and undisciplined compared with what I was used to in North Dakota. In Catholic school, I was used to standing to answer when someone asked a question. In California, they didn't care if you chewed gum.

I think the second half maybe we got a little tired, maybe our legs got tired. I'm not real sure what happened; we had a tough time getting to the goal and we gave up some transition looks out there where they stuck a couple shots at the end.

I think the transition will be easy because they know me and the system we have had the past two seasons. I hope to continue the winning tradition that Luke and I started.

I think the transition looks made all the difference in the world. We were able to turn up our defensive intensity, we were able to rebound the ball a little bit better, and we were able to get a lot of looks in transition. I think that got SMU back on their heels.

I think there was a big transition in Canada, having younger guys being part of Team Canada now. I think it's nice we had a chance to perform with each other. At least you don't come in and it's a brand-new atmosphere. Now Team Canada has been doing these pre-Olympic training camps in the summer also, where we got together. I think everybody's really anxious to see each other again.

I think the reason why Seton Hall was so good was we made them so good. We beat ourselves. We didn't do anything good. We didn't play good defense. We didn't play good offense. We didn't rebound the ball. We didn't get any transition offense. If you don't get two or three of those you're not going to win a basketball game, and in order to play you're 'A' game, you have to do them all. But, you know, we stunk tonight. We were awful tonight.

Japan is in a great transition and can't do much.

Jefferson has a three-guard scoring rotation, and that makes them capable of scoring very quickly. We must stop them in transition and close out well. We also have to use our length on the glass and our passing lanes.

Kristyn worked on her game more during the off-season than before. Hopefully, Maria will be able to play. Some kids will get valuable experience because she's out. Either way, it a transition year.

Last year, Congress overwhelmingly called on President Bush to make 2006 a year of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty. The domestic public relations campaign waged by the White House and the new round of presidential speeches does not advance that goal.

Our guys did a tremendous job on the defensive end of the floor. We're a team that applies a lot of pressure and tries to use our defense to jump-start our offense. We were able to force some turnovers and turn them into transition points tonight.

Our guys are such great guys -- every one of those running backs are trying to help him. It makes the transition easier for him. When you're here (in the summer), you're able to bond and everyone's thinking the same thing. This kid is on his own.

Our initial reaction is that the shares are likely to tread water during what is likely to be a difficult transition in its attempt to outsource 100 percent of its handset production and as its networks operator's division goes through temporary growing pains, which are likely to weigh on margins.

The business software cycle is on the rise, rebounding nicely from the Y2K problem of last year and the successful transition from client-server architecture to Internet architecture software.

Paint Valley is a very scrappy team. We tried to dig up their hard hits, but they threw some off-speed stuff at us and kept us in our tracks. Our team is improving, but we need to transition a lot better on defense.

Our pressure frustrated them and created some easy opportunities for ourselves. South Medford had 11 turnovers in the first half, and we turned most of those into transition buckets.

Our team played really well at Miami. I keep talking about how much better we're getting and I think a lot of that is just developing confidence and the consistency we have on the defensive end of the floor. We're beginning now to not only defend like we can, but also rebound the basketball extremely well and because of those two things, we're coming up with some easy transition buckets on the other end.

Our team is based on defense and transition basketball. We gave up 88 points tonight, and that's very disappointing.

Our team has a lot of athletes that can make plays. We scored a lot of points in transition off steals. I was really proud of our defensive effort. This team has taken pride in holding teams down defensively.

Our strength is our leadership. The seniors and juniors have a lot of experience and have helped make the coaching transition easier than expected. They also know how to have fun, which makes practices run very smoothly.

Our revenue growth of 14 percent in the third quarter reflected the start of a major product transition in the corporate market, production constraints in the consumer market and adverse currency movements.

Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition to the next commissioner, who will build upon the tremendous legacy commissioner Tagliabue will leave behind at the end of his tenure. This will be a collaborative effort, involving all the owners, and our work will be extensive and thorough.

Our goal is to give these people a safe, comfortable place to rebuild their lives until they can go home to a rebuilt Gulf Coast.

State and local agencies, businesses, nonprofit organizations, health and human service organizations, and volunteer citizens have worked tirelessly to provide a comfortable setting for these citizens, and if necessary, transition them into transitional housing in our state.

Our game plan tonight was to attack more than hold the ball and slow the tempo. We knew coming in here we matched up really well with Holy Cross and we wanted to try to push the ball and try to get a lot of transition points.

Our game plan is always to push on offense, and we certainly will against SPU as much as we can, but they have some good speed. We're going to have to stop their transition too.

Our transition game went well. We passed to the open man for the best shot possible. We also had 18 assists.

Our transition defense was so good. It had to be because Memphis is so good at pushing it.

Our transition defense wasn't good. Our rotations were wrong and they got some rebounds on the offensive end and that hurt us.

Our biggest problem was getting them in transition and not letting them shoot standing still. We didn't do that in the first half. We wanted to make them put the ball on the floor to shoot it. There were plenty of times where they just stood and shot a 3-pointer.

Please God, I'll never be in a war zone, but everything I sort of know about people who come back is that it's a hard transition to make. I mean, even if you've not been in a war, even if you've just been in the Forces, you come back and probably have more fights in civilian life.

Steals are a double-edged sword. It's good to get the transition game started, but it also results in sloppy defense by taking chances and not seeing the ball as well as we should.

That (concern) was warranted. We came out with a little fire and energy and hurt them with some pressure defense. We got up to, what, a 10-point lead? But we're in a transition period, trying to learn how to play with a lead. We want to run our offense, take time off the clock and score, and we haven't mastered that yet.

that business has been in and is in a transition phase this year, and a real positive sign was that this quarter. Profits improved in Europe by 24 percent over the first quarter.

We've got a management team that is coming together and we believe that by the fourth quarter, we'll be in very good shape to accelerate growth; and so right now we're very hopeful and positive and the transformation is on track.

Marian seems to have improved considerably over the first time we met. They seemed to get their hands on everything. We needed to be much more aggressive with the basketball. They scored too many transition baskets.

(Marcus) is an average athlete, but he's really skilled and understands the game. I think he will have an easy transition to the Division I level.

Marty has demonstrated that he is one of the top offensive minds in the game and he's proven that throughout his NFL coaching career.

It doesn't surprise me that this conflict is coming to a head, given the old-boy mentality that still pervades over there. They are still in a bit of a honeymoon period.

I think people are willing to cut them some slack for a little while, but that's not going to last for long.

It doesn't matter whether funding comes from a dedicated budget or from R&D. The trend is to remove funding from commercial ties to better comply with new industry trends. Some companies still rely on marketing or commercial ops for funding, but transition takes awhile, especially with larger companies.

I think he's capable of governing and giving a smooth transition over to the next governor,

It allows virus-checking software in an e-mail to filter on that extension and to search files coming in with that extension more carefully, or to exclude them altogether on a content filtering gateway while allowing the majority of the office docs to pass through without hindrance.

It deals with so many different aspects of living in South Africa: the racial issues of South Africans and Asians; with poverty; with the reality of children orphaned by AIDS; the transition from village life to city life.

I think Mike's got something to prove. Obviously in New York they tried to make him do the transition to first. He could've signed with an American League team and been a (designated hitter). It certainly would've been a lot easier. But he likes to be involved with the game, he likes catching. He has a passion for it.

I think maybe a little more was expected from the women's program because of the success we've had, both at South Dakota State and here.

I think last year's team was bigger and more powerful ? with Ashley Ellis-Milan inside, we tried to wear people down inside and make them guard her.

It has opened more avenues to the basket for dribble penetration. We have been more efficient in our transition offense.
