We're not playing defense, ... We're not defending or rebounding the ball. That's taking away a lot of baskets because we can't run and we can't stop anybody.
Allen Iverson

I guess it's just having time to play with each other and learning each other, just finding out how he wants to play and vice versa. He told me coming into the season that he wasn't doing his job if I didn't average four or five more points than I had been, and he was right because I am. ... We work together. We find out what plays we want to run. When we call plays for him, he tells me things he can do to get me an easy basket. And when a play is called for me, I let him know, if they take certain things away from me, what I can get for him. So it's just having some chemistry, being together and having a coach that understands that both of us need the ball and understands how both of us want to play.
Allen Iverson

Billy Mitchell

Yes, honey...Just squeeze your rage up into a bitter little ball and release it at an appropriate time, like that day I hit the referee with the whiskey bottle.
Dan Castellaneta
-
I thought we had parity in a lot of areas of the game but it's the Crusaders' ability to absorb pressure and react - three of their four tries were from turnovers - that's really disheartening when you are in control of the ball.
Anton Oliver
-
It's pretty hot and humid out here but we all fought through. Our defense made great plays and I feel like I pitched pretty well. I was really trying to make the ball move and force groundouts and pop outs.
Cat Osterman
-
Anybody can distribute the ball, but what she wants to do is know how to break zones and how you can handle things. I think she wants to go to the next step, understanding that you can't play the same way. I think her improvement is simply a result of a year of reflection.
