Dave Nichols Quotations

She?s been our best defensive player all along and always gets the tough assignment, and she?s been shooting well in the playoffs.

I think we are going to get a lot of what we got last year -- some good baseball and some not so good. I think they still need a slugger at first base. Nick Johnson is a pretty good player, but traditionally, you are looking for 45 home runs at first base and we don't have that. We have to make it up at other places. I'm pretty happy with their acquisition. They really strengthen their bench and that was a big thing.

Just a terrific guy. It's been a difficult time at school this week.

Our perimeter play has been very good for us. We have a lot of very good outside shooters. Nikki (Casimiro) is there every night, but there are a lot of very good outside shooters. What we want is balance.

We were holding the ball and giving the defense a break. We were giving the defense a chance to beat you. Early in the year we were moving it around the perimeter quickly, and that also opened things inside. So we have to move more and move the ball more.

You have to be cognizant that when you're writing something on the Internet, the wrong people could be reading it.

We go back to 0-0 now. Our goal now is to start another little win streak of four.

We just played poor fundamental basketball tonight. We needed to keep it simple and execute things. It?s nice to be creative on the break, but we?re not looking for a lot of creativity in a zone offense. We?re just looking for basic execution.

That team was a team with a superstar. We have some players with potential, but we don?t have the best player in the state this time.

They like to spread it out and hold the ball a lot, control the flow. I?d rather get on top of them.

I'm open, I'm honest, I'm experienced in business. I'm experienced on the City Council, I'm experienced on the County Board. And I'm fiscally conservative.
