Guards Quotations

I do not care how brave a president is; I do not care how many medals he may wear. I do not care how well trained his guards may be. If he violates the will of the people, he shall be eliminated.

Sometimes I relax on defense and not understand I can't do that. Night in and night out, you're playing some of the best point guards in the world. That's something I'm continuing to work on and continue to develop my lower body, get quicker and more explosive.

When we were in Sweden, there was a fan that hid in a bin. I think one of the security guards saw and tried to take her out, and she went a bit crazy and started tackling them.

We did it. Make no mistake: We have written history. Today there's a change of guards in Denmark.

I remember meeting President Obama and looking at him, thinking, 'Damn, this dude is really our president. He really went out and did it!' If you look at stories like that, and other stories that I'm sure you could compare to, it's just about freeing your mind and taking those guards down.

I would do 'Superbad,' and the next offers you would get would all be crazy cop characters or crazy security guards or something.

One good way of measuring the mood in Israel is just how alert or relaxed the guards at every restaurant entrance appear to be.

The point guards were so good in this league last year. It was incredible.

The point guard has always had a tough thing to please. Obviously, they have to please all of our fans and they have to live up to the expectations and the history of the great point guards here at Penn State.

UNLV plays four guards. So using four guards was something we were looking at doing anyway.

We stabilized their guards and played maybe our best half of the season.

When you think about it, it's natural to double our guards because they are amazing. They are the dominant force of our offense. But when I have the open shot I take it.

When you talk about college careers and guys in the Big East, and you put not only their numbers and their stats, but add on top of that the fact that they have won as much as they have won, I think you can throw them in there with any guards that have played in the league.

We didn't defend the 3-point line. We just didn't defend, period. Any time two guards go off for 66 points, you're not playing defense. That speaks for itself.

Watching the game tape of when we played them, it seemed to me like their guards weren't that strong, and I thought it might help to give us the tempo of the game. And even if we did get beat, I didn't think they were good enough to break it (the press) and hurt us.

We've always played three guards in certain instances over the years. A number of programs do that. Oftentimes, your smaller players are your better players. Last year, our bigger guys were our better players.

We're going to go as he goes. When he does what he can do, he's one of the best point guards in the area. When he tries too hard, he's one of the worst.

We're going to let those guards play a lot during the game.

We're going to have to get a little more play out of our guards if we want to try and beat Mater Dei, but I'm happy for the girls and happy for the win.

Very few teams do. That's a big number to put up on the board. There are very few guards that can elevate on that pull-up jumper of his.

Usually, guards are either really good run blocking or pass blocking. He does both so well. It's kind of hard to get after him because he's such a tremendous athlete.

(With their) team speed, in general, they cause us some problems. When they play both point guards ( Chris Paul and Speedy Claxton ) together it makes it doubly difficult to try and keep them out of the lane, because you've got two guys who are trying to catch-and-go or pick-and-roll, multiple pick-and-rolls.

With their size, we need to pressure the guards and get some transition points. Any slow-paced, half-court game is going to favor them. But we'll go with our usual stuff. We'll try to trap and fight through picks. This will be a tough game, but we've had our backs against the wall before.

With their inside prowess, it makes it more challenging to guard them. What makes them so special is their balanced. Stopping that trio of guards is equally challenging.

We're going to build great quarterbacks and great linemen, that's what we're going to build. The rest will fall in place -- it really will. I need two tackles, two guards and a center who can learn a fairly easy blocking field and a quarterback who can see the field. And I've got that and we're going to have that the next couple of years.

We're going to bring back three guys who we know can really score. We also have some young guards who gained valuable experience. We think we can continue to build.

We experimented a lot with it but we felt more comfortable with four guards in there. I think we nailed things down.

With the shortage of point guards and Brett being hurt, I had to take it to another level of playing 40 minutes. I get a little bit tired, but we have so many timeouts, I get to catch my breath, get a drink and gather myself while I listen to what the coach has to say on the bench.

We knew they were going to sag on me, so coach (Brain) Brooks told our guards to hit some shots.

We knew they wanted to run and we tried to stop them from doing that. Man, those guards are good.

We knew they could shoot the ball real well. And we knew who their shooters were they have quick guards and they're good shooters. I guess our guys had to believe it for themselves.

Walker shot the ball extremely well. Our guards did an excellent job finding her in the transition. She rushed a few shots but she was aggressively looking for her shot and I?d rather have that.

Verdigris has three guards that are very good. We played very poor defense against Bethel. If we play like that against Verdigris, we are going to get embarrassed.

We've got more size than they do, but they have the quickest guards in the area. They will be a challenge.

We've got guys turning the ball over right and left. We had 10 turnovers a game during league play, and we doubled that tonight. That's what's frustrating. When you have four guards on the floor, you shouldn't be turning the ball over.

We've got good size inside, and our guards do a good job getting it into them.

We want to pressure them and get some turnovers right away. Hopefully we can pressure their guards and not let them get comfortable in the half-court set.

We have no post presence. We have some guards who can spread the ball around the perimeter.

We have so many talented guards and we wait to see who?s going to step up on any given night. Tonight was Kristin?s night. She did everything well. ... She played with confidence and that?s something we need out of her.

Whenever Steve Smith steps on the basketball court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him. I think the guards played very well off of him and that allows them to be even better players. The nice part about Steve Smith as a player is that he doesn't force the action. Very rarely does he take bad shots. He lets the game come to him.

We were in a delay, but then I changed the setup where it was a three-man delay with our three guards and Durham's guy backed off him a little. That's not the way I would have drawn it up, but it was within what we were trying to do at that point.

We're playing better. Our guards are playing better defense and are starting to understand they can play with basically anybody.

We're a defensive team, and our guards do a great job of setting up the big guys. Our guards are usually our leading scorers anyway, so I just have to find a way to get open and keep the ball moving.

We didn't want to put them on the line. We knew they were a good free throw shooting team. Their guards are good free throw shooters. We talked that maybe we were fouling the wrong people, but in the heat of the moment, what are you going to do?

We have people who get us the ball. So many teams don't have someone who can get it inside. Our guards can handle the pressure.

There are a lot of good point guards in this league.

We usually get two or three fouls in the first half. I think we're used to it by now. Our guards played really well.

We usually don't ask our point guards to score. It's an added dimension with him.

When the guards are doing a good job of getting the ball down in the lane, you've got to reward them the second that anybody collapses.

We need to be getting loose balls and long rebounds and our guards haven't taken it upon themselves to be that aggressive. The ruggedness you need for guards...as a whole, we don't have it yet.

Security guards for celebrities can earn six figures.

Security guards at the shopping centre heard an alarm early this morning and upon investigation saw smoke coming out of the building, but could not ascertain where the fire was coming from.

She's so smooth. I've seen most of the point guards in Division I, and she's the best ball-handler in the state.

She was just the dominant player out on the floor. They tried to go zone for a while and she hit a 3-pointer. They tried to go man-to-man - but it didn't matter what they did. Hope was able to get the ball into the paint, and at 5-9, she gets up over a lot of guards guarding her, and she gets a good look at the basket. Today, she was just knocking them down.

She's one of the top point guards in the state.

She's one of the more dominate players in our league, and she showed it Saturday. She can control the defense on the boards and get it out to our guards -- she's a force for us. Not only was she tough on defense, but she scored nine our 17 points in the second half, and she shot four of seven from the field.

She sees the floor so well. This year, she has been up against some outstanding point guards and not only does the job on offense, but she's a strong defensive player (forced five turnovers). This was a signature game for her.

She scores well, rebounds well, passes well and guards well. She's a total all-around player and she makes others better.

She's more experienced. If you look back at some of the mistakes that she made earlier in the season, she's not making those kind of mistakes any more. Having played in the North Carolina game, having played in the Rutgers game, against a team like Georgia she's going to face some quick guards again and she's going to be ready this time I think.

She?s just big enough and physical enough to offset (6-1 center Allie Munson?s) height. New Britain?s guards did a nice job bringing back-side help to make it look like it was a lot more open than it really was.

Shoot, he plays every position on the court. He's just a guy who hurts you in whatever position he plays no matter who guards him.

(Silver Creek is) very similar to Pueblo County. They're just as big as County and they have guards who are really active. Playing County three times this year should really help. I don't want to say that's a measuring stick, but at least it should prepare us for them.

She has no problem with the double-team. When we get in trouble on offense is when our guards don't have good passing lanes to her. But once she gets the ball, she usually doesn't have any problem.

She has a great all-around game. She plays inside and outside. She guards the top-scoring opponent. She's intense, too. She just hustles so much all the time.

She always guards the other team's best guard and consistently holds them below their average. She sets the tone defensively.

She's a common force for us. The younger kids were so nervous. There was so much pressure because all of our guards are our young kids. They've never played in a do-or-die situation.

She plays post on offense and guards point guards on defense. That's a rare breed. She leads by example and heart. If I asked her to run through the wall, she'd ask me at what speed and should I do it more than once.

She is definitely an outside threat. I knew her shot was her strength and that she could handle the ball. If we're being pressured, it's good to have guards in the back court that could help us. Hitting three's is the key for her.

She really gives us a great inside presence. With the athletic abilities that our guards have, Mallory is a very good compliment that we can plug in there and get results.

She just really came up big. I thought our guards did a great job of getting her the basketball, and she just really responded. I thought that was the best game that we've seen out of her. For a freshman, she really stepped up and did a great job.

She just had an overall total game. I keep telling her that she's one of the best point guards in Cobb County. She has that potential, and (Saturday) she showed it.

Maybe we should have come out with a zone in the second half to stop their dribble penetration. Our guards were not responsible for that, coach Turco was. I'll take the blame for that.

No disrespect to the point guards who were here in the past, but Baron's the type of point guard that makes everybody better. He gets in the lane and just finds guys. I been waiting for a guy like him to come and he took my game to another level.

One of our assistants suggested that four guards will open the floor and create penetration opportunities for us. We haven't been shooting the ball the way we did early in the season, so creating some opportunities for our inside people seemed like a good thing to do. Our kids responded to the change like troopers.

One thing we know is that once she gets out, she's gonna run. Both of our guards look for that. They look to throw the ball high to Kristin because she knows when they throw it up high anywhere, she's going to go up and get it.

My ability in shot blocking and Debbie?s ability to take charges, I think it really made them think twice about coming into the paint. I think our guards did a good job of making sure their three-point shooters did get a lot of shots.

Now that the truth is out, I want justice. I want the guards and nurse to be arrested.

(Nebraska) is a very talented team. Their guards can shoot the basketball. They have the post presence. We're going to have to play at our best level.

Obviously those guys are going to be tough to replace. But we lost three talented guards last year and had guys step up this year. We'll still be tenacious defensively, and I'm sure we'll have guys step up again next season.

No doubt our guards struggled. We made some big plays, and then we made some not-so-smart plays. It was a shame, because Paul Davis had two of the best practices of his life, and he just struggled tonight to even catch the ball.

Nobody has really had our guards that shook up on the defensive end all year.

Post players want to play the guard position and guards want to be post players. Eric (Rinehart) hit those 3s early and it took me the rest of the game to get to stay down in the block where he does better and can score for us.

(Nick) hasn't developed as fast as we'd hoped he would. He's been really good the last several weeks, but now the other guards - Chris Bryant, Leonard Houston, Sean Tracy - have actually surpassed him. He's trying to come from behind.

Noah is incredible. Usually kids that are that big, even if they're that athletic, they don't have the ability to play every possession at the intensity level that he does. I don't know many guards that can do that, but he does that at his size. That's what makes him unique.

One of the guards was shot through the heart and died instantly and three inmates died in the ensuing shootout with the other two guards.

I have called for an investigation on that. We are going to find out, first of all, how the guards are behaving. Those responsible for the deportation of Zhang may be charged with infidelity in the custody of a prisoner and dereliction of duty,

I don't know a lot about them. I know they're a good team. But I think we match up OK. They have quick guards and press you. They beat Lisle and Lisle beat us twice. They beat Wheaton St. Francis (de Sales) by 13 and we beat St. Francis by 18.

I don't know about look bad, but (we) really got into the guards and didn't let them do what they wanted to do.

I don't care if it's the two, but I like playing out on the floor, ... I'm not big and bulky so I like being able to run and move. I've always said that those big guys have to catch me. If a guy is 270 pounds, he's going to have a hard time catching me. Then, I feel like I'm quick enough to stay with the smaller guards so I like being out there.

Casey and Maurice played very well and our guards did a great job of getting the ball inside. We had a good size advantage and we passed up a lot of perimeter shots to get the ball inside.

(Catholic is) a good basketball team. They execute well and they've got three or four guards who are very good and a couple good post players. It'll be a good challenge for us.

But we're a little bit different team than we were against Missouri and Nebraska. There's no secret that our guards are playing a lot better now that we have them all.

Baron is one of the better guards in the league. He is probably one of the top three point guards. He is a great passer and he can also defend. ... He had a great day.

(Barnes) needs to understand how to get open and our guards have to get him the ball, too. It was two-fold.

Chrisman came out and took our guards out of the game in the first half. They had some big guys inside and we just did not match up with them very well.
