Shooting Quotations | Page 3

We started shooting better and started attacking offensively and defensively.

We struggled shooting the ball but our defense kept us where we had a chance to win the game. That's kind of been our trademark.

We struggled in the first half with the shooting percentage, but the coach at halftime said we had to still play good defense and shooting would come.

We struggled a little shooting the ball tonight. Granite plays a good, tough zone and they played it very well tonight.

We started out like gangbusters. We were shooting the ball well.

Where is the crime? Where is the crime? If trying a suspect accused of shooting at a head of state -- no matter what his name is -- is considered a crime, then you have the head of state in your hands. Try him.

When you think of the number of hours that go into casting, shooting and assembling the tape into a coherent story, ... it's not an easy process to do. For our audience, it's a show that's very 'relate-able.' It's a lot of fun to watch because you can see people have personal disasters, which is something our audience really enjoys watching.

There is no question that Darren Wilson caused the death of Michael Brown by shooting him, but the inquiry does not end there. The law authorizes a law enforcement officer to use deadly force in certain situations. The law allows all people to use deadly force to defend themselves in certain situations.

We'd like to finish over .500, obviously, ... I'm not saying we're shooting to be a .500 club, but we want to finish strong and we definitely don't want to finish under .500. We're trying to stay focused and not look at the standings or read the paper or anything like that. Just come to the field with a job to do every day and take care of business.

We believe that he knew who he was shooting at, but again, bullets don?t have names on them.

Yeah, I shoot. I shot with my dad a little bit when I was little. He was a Marine, so it wasn't like he would take me to the ballet. We would go to a shooting range. It was the only thing he knew to teach his little girl how to do.

We've always felt like our defense was one of the stronger points of our game. Our goal was to have a hand in their face for the full 94 feet of the floor and that would hopefully take away some of their shooting ability.

When we were shooting free throws, I was getting off the line quicker than them, so I got in there every time and made the tips.

You don't lose a shooting touch; it just likes to go on vacation for a little bit. I've been working in the gym on my own. I think I'm back to where I was and hopefully I can improve that a little bit more.

We're speculating that the shooting may have occurred from a moving vehicle. Due to an ongoing investigation and no eyewitnesses to the shooting, we're still piecing this together.

What they're shooting for is what Mike called a visible and playable difference between those two cuts of rough.

What a heck of a defensive game we played, because we struggled shooting and it was very uncharacteristic of us to throw the ball away at crucial times.

What a great addition to the program he has been. Our weakness as a team is shooting and he brings a shooter to this team.

What a display of free throw shooting by them. It's a possession by possession game and we get beat by nine at the free throw line.

What actually started the shooting was a highway patrolman firing his carbine in the air a couple of times, intending it as warning shots, and others started shooting,

We wrote several key words on the blackboard before the game, but the most important one was 'confidence. It's confidence in their shooting. I told the kids that they're the best shooting team in the state of Washington. They showed that in the first half.

What's just as amazing is that she had to start work on the last season of 'Friends,' so she was going back and forth between our shooting locations and the studio, and from bubbly Monica to the deeply troubled Sophie.

We're going to look at every aspect of this shooting, we're going to examine the intensity of what occurred, we're going to examine our policy, and we're going to again learn from this there is no such thing as a safe shooting anywhere in urban America,

We're going to have to start shooting the ball a little better from the perimeter or everyone's going to start doing that.

We're going to have to play some outstanding defense. We have to box out to get rebounds, improve our foul shooting and take care of the basketball.

Working in Venice was like a four-month guided tour of the city. It was like shooting a film inside a museum.

We're just shooting ourselves in the foot right now and we have to correct it. It's about time we start sewing up all our bad habits in the last 26 games.

We're just shooting ourselves in the foot again. Whatever the reason is for that, I don't know.

We're just not throwing it in the ocean right now. We're simply not shooting well and at this point, it's mental.

We're just not shooting the ball well from the outside. A lot of those shots were uncontested.

We're just not a good shooting team. When some teams get down double figures a couple of three's can get them right back into it but we don't shoot well from the outside so we can't come back from big deficits. But give Guilford credit. They beat us to every loose ball and out hustled us all game.

We're just making fundamental errors we shouldn't be making. Failing to block off on a free throw, given up a second shot ... we're just shooting ourselves in the foot.

We?re not a great shooting team. Our percentage has been in the low 30s consistently all year. It?s almost as (the players) are saying ?Please go in,? every time they shoot it. It?s not like we haven?t worked on it.

We're not a great free-throw shooting team. But there was no excuse today.

We're not a great free throw shooting team but the fact that we could make that many free throws here when we had to make them, I think that's a great sign for our guys.

We're not a good shooting team. They are so long, they altered a dozen shots (total).

We're a year older and a year wiser, and Morgan is more of a dominant player. We're a better outside shooting team, and we have one more year of playing in bigger games.

Throughout her four-year college career, Kim has had a great shooting percentage from the floor and the line. We think she can learn our defensive style and be an excellent team player.

We knew we were in the bonus, so we were going to keep attacking them. We weren't shooting the ball well, so we were going to try to get to the free-throw line and get points from there and that's what we did.

We knew we were going to get somebody like this. They have the big guy in the middle. But I don't know if they're a great shooting team. We'll have to mix it up. We've got to worry about guarding (Davis). But he also has to worry about guarding us.

We knew they were a good shooting team. In the first half we didn't get a hand up and we gave them good looks. In the second half, the defensive intensity picked up.

We knew they may have a little trouble because of the lack of a background in here. Our girls have played here, obviously, and I've coached here before quite a few times. Perimeter shooting teams tend to struggle in here.

We knew they had trouble shooting from the outside. We had several reports about that. We decided just to go to the zone and see what happens.

We knew they had to foul down the stretch and shoot threes and make us miss. It was big to finish like that. It really started to sink in when I was shooting free throws. It's still sinking in. It's big. It's the 2A championship.

We knew they'd start shooting the ball better. But I'm pleased with our defense. We played great tonight. I'm particularly pleased with how we played heading into Districts.

We know who their shooters are and we know their tendencies. We were able to get pressure on them and take their shots away. We forced them to take tougher shots, and that forced their shooting to be off.

We know he's going to play because he plays, but we're concerned about it because it is his shooting hand.

Very adverse shooting conditions. But shooting has always been my strength. Like skiers who prefer a more difficult course, shooters who are comfortable prefer more difficult shooting conditions. So I was able to find a little bit of success.

When you're dealing with shooting a lot of live action in 3D, you're committed to how much 3D you're giving the audience.

The 3D, it changes the way you shoot in a way, especially when you're shooting live action 3D elements.

With those two it's all business on the golf course. How many times have those two been head-to-head? A putt or two here, a putt or two there and they're tied. They tied at the (Illinois-Missouri) Challenge and they're shooting good scores. I expect to see that continue for both of them.

With this situation here, as long as we had a suspect that had firearms that we knew was shooting at law enforcement and shooting at the helicopter we knew it wasn't safe to leave the freeway open.

With the wind blowing, (and) shooting 2 under here, you've got to be happy, there's no question about that.

Wow. She kind of put on a shooting clinic.

Wow, 15-for-15, I didn't know that, but I knew we were shooting pretty good. What a great game. Just a battle and a terrific battle all night long. Plymouth is a great team, and they're just so physical, and everything we had, we had to earn it.

We're still shooting for December, barring anything major or unforeseen.

We've got guys that are better shooters than they're shooting. We've got to get more out of our break, we've got to get the right guys shooting and we've got to get our better players playing better.

We've got good perimeter shooters. We're one of the best perimeter shooting teams I've coached.

We've watched three of their games on film. They play in a very good league and finished second. Their 6-foot-9 kid (Ronald Wright) leads the country in blocked shots. They have great size and they're an excellent shooting team.

Although the shooting war is over, we are in the midst of a cold war which is getting warmer.

We have a sort of understanding that works on the set. When you're shooting, the cash register is ringing . Denzel and I know where we're going before shooting starts. Then, it's a matter of doing it.

We have no idea where the shooting took place. We couldn't find the actual crime scene.

What the other countries are doing, you just copy it. The system's easy. I steal all my training ideas from the Norwegians, OK? I steal all my shooting ideas from the Germans. It's not like it's that hard. It's very simple to do.

We wanted to try keeping Sturgis off balance as much as possible. We knew they were shooting the ball really well the last couple of games.

We were at the rim, and didn't have to rely on outside shooting and we made the big plays when we had to make them. We always want to make it interesting though.

We were trying to keep Fred Gulley from penetrating. And for a half we did real well. That's what you got to do with Woodland. If you play man-to-man, you're dead meat. Defense wasn't our problem. Our problem was not shooting the ball well.

We were trying to go aggressively to the basket and I felt like we were doing that. But we just couldn't get to the foul line. We were being aggressive but we weren't shooting any free throws.

We were trying to get something consistent going offensively to try to keep the ball away from them but we kept shooting ourselves in the foot,

Internationally, I love going to Switzerland. I went there many times for shooting and loved the Alps, the tranquility, cleanliness, the greenery and the warmth of the people there.

A photographer kept shooting me every time I swung. I was very flattered until I found out he was from Field and Stream.

Shooting film is not for everybody, but if you're crazy enough it might be for you.

Influences come from everywhere but when you are actually shooting you work primarily by instinct. But what is instinct? It is a lifetime accumulation of influence: experience, knowledge, seeing and hearing. There is little time for reflection in taking a photograph. All your experiences come to a peak and you work on two levels: conscious and unconscious.

We abandoned what was working in the first period, and that was shooting the puck. We wanted to pass the puck into the net. In the first period we shot the puck and went to the net.

Wayne, New Jersey, ... And shooting in it was very depressing. Because everyone has the same stuff, you know? The same TV, the same cars, their kids dress the same. But then the people in the community were really, really nice to us. Very enthusiastic and kinda lovely. But before that human connection, it was just depressing to me, to be in that kind of hermetically sealed community. I think a lot of people actually live in places like that, more and more.

We always go in hoping we have several contributors. I think that was a product of bad shooting (against Sammamish).

We also told him that if he can't (pitch in relief) then he won't do it. But I think because of the kind of guy he is, he's shooting for it.

When I'm shooting, I just try to make sure I wouldn't be embarrassed of it later, because in Watertown, you don't get away with anything.

When you're done shooting, the movie that you're going to release when you're done shooting is as bad as it will ever be. And then through editing, and finishing the effects and adding music, you get to make the movie better again. So I'm really hard on myself and on the movie.

My original goal was just to do stand-up but then I became interested in films - writing a film, shooting one someday, and getting to act in them.

Skeet shooting is probably more satisfying if you really hate skeets.

Acting without thinking is like shooting without aiming.

And that was always my father's favorite part about shooting as well. Often my dad would shoot very, very late, he was quite a workaholic, they would do 20, 20-hour shoots and stuff like that.

Really, initially what I very quickly realized that I was loving about the show was, because it reminded me of when I was a kid and I would visit the sets where my dad was shooting with the other puppeteers.

This was not a good game for us. We didn't play with the intensity that we should have as a group, and we're just not shooting with a lot of confidence.

We'd finished shooting the film by then. The film is the film.

We defended and rebounded well, but tonight it came down to free throw shooting and our kids stepped up and made them.

We're playing good defense right now. But, the main thing is that we've been shooting the ball a lot better than we had been. The last two games I think we hit 15 threes (and) that helps loosen things up inside. We have to have an inside presence in order to get open shots outside against Sioux Falls.

We're playing better football but we're just shooting ourselves in the foot.

We're playing a lot tougher, and we're kind of getting into a little routine. We want to try to attack the post, we want to be timely with the shooting from the perimeter, and defensively we've picked up things a little bit. But by the same token, our schedule has not weakened a bit.

We tried anything to stop the bleeding. Some of their kids who had not been shooting well hit a couple of shots.

We've been in a shooting slump, honestly. ... Tonight we settled in and shot our open looks. And you know what? If we shoot 53 percent (from 3-point range), we can beat anybody.

We really knocked down some threes, and that kind of separated things quickly. We continued to be unselfish out there. We're getting more and more assists each game, we're making the extra pass in order to get a better one. Coppola set the tone with his finishing at the beginning, and we're shooting the ball better.

We really have to work on our passing and shooting and get better by Friday.

We really haven't played a good game. When we're shooting like we are and things are not falling into place, that's when your confidence is shot.

We really got their attention tonight at halftime. We knew going into the game that they (UTA) was a good rebounding team. Early in the game, we were not getting out and contesting shots and they responded by shooting 62 percent.

We really felt that they were not a very good shooting team on the outside.

We really emphasize free-throw shooting and our whole team's ability to shoot free throws well at this time of the year is really important to our success.

We're a better shooting team because of what Gregg Gottlieb has done every single day in practice for 10-15 minutes without fail. And we have become a team that you better not foul us, because we're going to make every free throw. That wins games. We'll take it and not apologize. If you have good players and you have talent, you can find a way that when you are sputtering a bit, hold on and get a win. We did that.

We're 1-0 in league now and shooting for 10-0. We're looking to turn some heads.

We ran into a team that was on fire, they were incredibly hot all night long. Their 3-point shooting was outstanding.
