“My time at Seton Hall has been extremely rewarding. I commend the staff for their tireless and successful efforts in recruiting and elevating the program.”
“I guess I concentrated exclusively on basketball because of my height. If I was shorter, I don't think I would play.”
“My heart is with the WNBA. I've had success in the league, I've loved the league. I'm a true fan of the league.”
“The prospect of coaching two of the game's most exciting and decorated players in Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson was incredibly appealing to me, and I look forward to beginning this new chapter in my career.”
“Yep, I jumped from college to the ABL, just in time for the league to go under.”
“I've been around the coaching circuit far too much.”
“I'm the youngest of eight kids in my family. All tall, we all played basketball, so at my earliest memory, I was bouncing a ball in the backyard.”
“There's a beautiful thing about experience. There's a beautiful thing about veteran smarts, but there's also a beautiful thing about youth and the potential that creates down the road.”
“I've been playing as early as I can recall. I don't even remember the first time I picked up a basketball.”
“I am so thrilled about the opportunity to coach the Storm for years to come.”
“No coach wants to sit back and not have control of the team.”
“A lot of players were going to Europe, but there were always stories of teams not being able to pay, and the players and girls were stuck with no money for airfare to come home. So I got a nice contract from Japan and decided to play there.”
“When my playing career stopped and Old Dominion asked me to be an assistant, I was reluctant about it because I didn't aspire to be a coach, and I didn't know if I had the qualities to be a coach.”
“I am grateful to have had the opportunity to play for and work under the best, Pat Summitt.”
“There are times I'd like to be incognito, be someplace where I might not stand out.”
“It's in all of our interests to keep pushing athletes to see the big picture, and that's sometimes very difficult.”
“I will miss the ladies and the passion of the Sun fans. I was proud to serve as their head coach.”
“The draft not being exceptionally deep, you basically take the best player available.”
“I think that the significance of the WNBA is that it has given women a different platform and a different level of respect as professionals, both as players and also in our coaching.”
“At the end of the game, coaches always talk about what could have been done differently with the game plan.”
