Dave Nelson Quotations

Luke's more of an inside player on offense. He's very good on the offensive boards, he's shifty and tough on the baseline with pull-up jump shots.

Sex offenders don't like the bright light of publicity. They don't like the public to have knowledge of who they are and where they live.

Shane was on fire. He was absolutely unconscious and he carried us. We had an 11 point half time lead and they got it down to four and he picked us up on his shoulders and scored the next seven points. He wasn't going to let us lose. In the third alone he scored 11 points and they only scored nine.

He's got these big feet, and they don't respect him. He surprises people.

There are so many different groups who are playing that there is going to be something that appeals to everybody each day.

It doesn't matter what meet we're going to - when you get on the bus he's the most enthusiastic person there. It's still a big deal to him. It's not passe. It's not old hat. His enthusiasm has not diminished in the least.

Tyler did an unbelievable job. He shut down their leading scorer; he's just a defensive wiz.

Thought our kids played real hard. We played really well defensively, but struggled on scoring. I'll say this though: this group doesn't give up. You can't score only five points in the fourth quarter and expect to win. It's frustrating when you don't score. There were shots that we should have taken that we didn't.

We didn't shoot the ball very well. Defensively, we're not bad. We're just having trouble on offense. We held their leading scorer to 4 points, but their guard got us.

We play what I call 'soul jazz,' ... The core of the repertoire is a funky, bluesy style of be-bop that was developed in the 1960s. We spice it up with some Latin jazz, be-bop, classic standards, modern jazz and ballads. We perform a variety of stuff.

We shot the ball lights out. We got up and down the court and our transition game was great.

We have crews that are standing by 24 hours a day, we have a loader parked around the corner for quick response and our plow trucks are always on the road.

We knew it would be a tight game. We're both good defensive teams. Nobody was going to run away from each other.

We didn't handle their zone defense very well. Bruce has a very nice team. They're the real deal.

The government is not in the national ID card business; all the credentials (that the government issues) are related to the government.

We've been looking for venture capital to come into the state to develop our resources. Now we've finally found some and the politicians are backing off.

The public is entitled to as much information as we can possibly give them about these kinds of offenders, because they are the kinds of guys that when they do it, they will do it again and continue to do it until they are caught and put back in the penitentiary.

We could see that coming on the bench.

Brandon hit a couple big shots and got us some momentum. We just couldn't ride it out.

It was very intense. Both teams are defensive-minded. It was a grind-them-out game.

As a result of that, a jurisdiction that has impressive registry requirements, as South Dakota does, frequently will flush those people out, and they will try to go to places where they can be hidden, where they can go underground, where they can pursue their opportunities more easily. So a national registry, to me, is a good idea and a step in the right direction.

That's what people are concerned about check averages. Maybe we get more people, but does it turn into more revenue?

There was a wide variety of items taken from the house.

This is the third straight game that we've scored in the 30's. These guys deserve better then what they've got.

It may still be sliding. It's definitely going to get worse.

It's really great to have the festival here in my hometown,

It's pretty secure right now, but we have to take it down. That's pretty much our first order of work right now.

That's the funny thing no one really knows who's going to enforce this. No one's said here's what you do if someone lights up. Personally, no one's talked to me about how to deal with it.

It's been turned over to the U.S. attorney and the military.

It was a good time. The kids seemed to like it; they had fun seeing players from the Revolution.

The festival also helps to keep alive this music that is historically considered America's contribution to music.

I guess we're approaching it with a wait-and-see attitude. I've had some customers say they're looking forward to it, and some say they're dreading it.
