John Whisenant Quotations

Our plan was to cut the lead under 10 by 10 minutes to go and get it to four or five with five minutes left and we were there. In the second half, I was pleased with my team.

There's a great team over there, ... that wants us to go back to Connecticut with them and we don't want to go back.

We don't run a single play for Yolanda. She creates her own opportunities.

I told Thibault that I wished Lindsay was 100% and that Ticha was 100%,

Coach T. drives me somewhere between half to three-quarters nuts, ... I'll be (on the sidelines) telling him, 'No, no, no,' and he just says the same thing a different way until I yell at him to stop.

We just lost her. That's how alert we were. We talked about it. We knew they couldn't beat us with a two. I told our team, if they drive to the basket, let them go.

I'm sure glad that when she thought we were going to rebuild, she didn't go somewhere else. She thought she was too old to (stay while the Monarchs) rebuild, but I didn't listen to her and trade her.

I'm tickled to death to win and beat a first-class team, that makes the fact that we were able to beat them even sweeter. Now we have a chance to achieve something that's never been done in franchise history.

I thought our defense would get a stop. It was just a breakdown. There was no reason when the ball went inside that somebody would leave their guy open. But, it happened. That's basketball.

When you shoot the ball, everything becomes easier. We're facing a team known for its offense, but Connecticut plays pretty good defense, too.
