Jim Ferraro Quotations

We have no interest in (leaving). That's one area I can tell you right now that's important all the way up the organization.

I am self-employed (as a home appraiser). I will soon take the exam to have my own business. Once in a business, I won?t be able to coach. Now, I am at the school from like 1 (p.m.) to 6:30, and then the days we have games; I?m just not going to be able to do that. It?s a move that has to be made.

Her lower scoring average is a compliment to the rest of the team. I see it that way and I know she does, too.

I think you?re going to see us (in the tournament). We have a lot of young girls, but they have played well together.

I saw a Cheshire team that was pretty good; I liked the fight in us. We just have to get over the hump against those tougher teams in the SCC.

You have to be able to win on the road to win the title. If we play a solid game (tonight) against Amity, I'll feel good about the next six-and-a-half weeks.

The team has just grown as the season has gone on. We think we will only get better (the rest of the season), and we should be in good shape for next year.

They definitely (the athletic department) had a sense that I might be going. But I think a few were surprised. Some of the girls are sad that I am leaving, but I feel I am leaving at the right time.

But I expect the team to make the playoffs. That's a given. I expect to perform well in the playoffs. We've got to evaluate the whole thing because it's not working right now.

I can't be disappointed in the loss because I like what they brought to the game. I'm very proud of the fact that we brought 32 minutes today. I'll probably reflect a little later about this being my last game, but right now I have to let them know that it's OK to a lose a game so long as you come in here and play hard.
