Nick Greenwell Quotations

Nobody panicked. We just played better in the second half.

We talked about whether we were going to be a thermometer or a thermostat. Are we just going to sit around and adjust to what's happening, or are we going to make it happen?

Kids are naturally going to react to that when it happens. You tend to want to pull up short and shoot 10-footers instead of 2-footers.

I want us to have high goals. I want us to think we can reach them, too.

We finally stepped it up in overtime and contained them pretty well.

We have to look on the bright side. But we have lots of work to do if we want to be as successful in Tacoma as we were last year.

We had a strength in the post depth that we won't quite have anymore, but we will still be strong.

We were really aggressive at the post, and that made the difference.

We got ourselves in a hole. They sure burned us on it.

There's not an easy team on the board. I've always been happy to be fortunate enough to be up there and be involved in it.

Our defense is what did it for us tonight. We talked about two things: creating turnovers and rebounding well.

Defense should always be there. You don't go into a defensive slump if you don't want to.

As far as I'm concerned, she's the heart and soul of that team.

They're a good basketball team, and that's what were trying to do, play good teams. They came up big at the end.

It's hard to play with that kind of an injury.

It's something that's very breakable, if you just relax. (The Hawks) have got great athletes. They're not ranked No. 2 in the state for nothing.

It was kind of a slow-paced, defensive game the whole way through. We didn't have anybody who really stood out offensively, but we had seven players score.

She'll look tough. She got her trophy, now we just need to win so we can get our trophy on Saturday.

I'm proud of the way our kids played. They played as hard as they could, and that's something we ask them to do all the time.

The kids always talk about respecting her. They know what kind of player she is.
