Shot Quotations | Page 3

When we got down by double-digits, I thought we started to force it offensively. The guys are meaning well, but I thought they became impatient and tried to get it all back at one time. We got a little impatient with our shot selection.

When we go out and don't make errors, we have a solid shot of winning against anyone.

When we first shot it, something very, very weird happened, and it's a good example of how things work intuitively or are improvised.

We were supposed to stay with our man, but luckily he (Howard) shot the ball after the shot clock. We'd rather be lucky than not, (but) that was a letdown. We made some mistakes down the stretch, but the biggest thing is we got a win.

What a great start to the season. We fell a little short of our goal of 330, but the boys played real well in tough conditions and shot our best score in three years.

What a force. If she has a shot for her senior year, she will be the best player in the state of Washington.

What a beautiful shot he hit on 11. I'm standing with a five-iron thinking of hitting it close and he hits it stiff. And now I'm grinding to hit it close rather than just trying to hit a good shot. That's where you win matches, with shots like that.

We would write scripts, like for 'Shutterbugs.' Then when we shot it, everyone just came up with new stuff. We've definitely learned how to do it better as we've gotten along. So basically, that's how it went. We just go in with ideas and try to figure out funny stuff while we're there.

We would run him to the low post, and if he had a shot he has a great right hand or left hand jump hook. But he's more of a finesse player. If he didn't have a shot right away down low, we would run him to the 3-point line and let him shoot it.

What he's done yesterday and today is pretty good. I hope he stays here all year and gets a shot to go up.

What he needs to do is get his shot or be ready to score before the ball hits his hands. He hasn't been great at that.

We had 10 kids score, so we had pretty balanced scoring. We shot the ball well and did a good job of finding the open man.

We guarded pretty well except for the last five minutes of the first half. (Eastern) really went after us inside (the lane) and got us into foul trouble. They took advantage of it, but, fortunately, we shot well for the first time in a while.

We got what we wanted, a contested shot at the end.

We got up on them and killed the clock pretty good. They sat back in their zone and gave us the three any time we wanted it, so why not wait until late into the shot clock to take it. We took good shots, but sometimes the long ball won't go in.

We felt like we were cheating time a little bit right there. We knew we were putting ourselves in this position in 2002, but we had to take our shot at winning back-to-back. We could have done half of this cap-cutting last year, and it wouldn't have been this painful, but I don't think we would have had a real shot to get to the Super Bowl this season.

We felt like we had a shot coming in. I'm real pleased to get a state win this year, and now our guys are saying they don't want to stop, which is fine by me.

We felt like this was a must-win game for us. We felt that if we were going to have any shot at getting to the Catholic League playoffs, we had to win tonight. It was a big game in the league.

We felt like the defense put us in a position to win. But at the end we had another let down. The guy had an open shot and made it.

We felt like someone had to step up and give us a shot in the arm and we didn't care who it was.

We felt like if we could keep it close, we had a chance. And early, we did. But they've got so many weapons and just hit big shot after big shot.

We broke down all our games and, minus two of them, we had a shot to win seven of them. This would be eight. I thought we had a shot to win, but in the second half we'd get one-shot-and-out and we couldn't answer them.

We boxed out very well, holding St. Mary's to usually just one shot when they had the ball. The girls continue to amaze me with the intensity that they show on defense. And that 11-0 run to begin the game was the turning point. We also really weren't in any foul trouble.

We both think we have a good shot in the mixed matches if it all comes down to playing the mixed. Hopefully one of us can get through the singles and if it comes down the doubles, I think we'd be confident.

We are getting more and more reports of this to police. These kids are either going to get shot or one of our guys are going to get shot.

What makes it really hard is it's not a reaction sport, ... This is a premeditation sport. You're walking down the fairway, considering what your options are on the next shot that you're going to hit, how you're going to handle it, where you're going to go with it what you're going to do ... you get your head handed to you a lot out here. You know, the people that do well out here are able to absorb that, deal with it, put it in a little compartment, send it somewhere where they don't need to be in and move on to the next step.

We're going to have to win at least 85 percent of our games for us to get there. But at least it's nice to know that we're playing for something, that we still have a possibility to get there. I don't think we should lose hope. I think we should stay focused, give it the best shot we've got and see where we stand two weeks from now.

We're going to have to take care of the ball and finish on our shot opportunities. We're not going to get 30 or 40 shot opportunities. We have to shoot well over 50 or 60 percent to hang in there with them.

We're going to have to continue that. We're going to have times when we don't score, we turn it over. And when that happens, the next possession we've got to do a very good job of getting the shot that we want.

Usually in a game like this you're hopeful for one good shot at a pitcher like Pedro. And we got that in the sixth inning. We couldn't ask for any better chance than we had there, with the people we had coming to the plate. We got nothing out of it.

Usually in a game like this you hope for one good shot at a pitcher like Pedro. It wasn't whether they had good at-bats, they just weren't productive even if they hit the ball hard. We had the people you wanted at the plate in the order you wanted and expected to be productive, but we didn't get it.

Usually in a game like that you hope for one good shot against a guy like that and we got it. With the bases loaded and nobody out you expect to get something out of it. We couldn't have asked for anything better with our heart of the order coming up. We had the people we wanted coming to the plate.

Usually if she takes a shot I yell at her. But tonight I actually told her, 'If they don't play you, go ahead and shoot.' But I was kind of hoping she didn't take me literally.

Usually a team that hits that kind of shot rides the emotion through overtime.

Years ago, when I was doing the show Southern Expressions, Scott had just come to work here. Scott was the shooter for the event. He hooked up the camera to the back of the truck, and then he had the truck tow the car I was in, and he shot the scene through the windshield. From that moment, I thought this guy has got something going. He's something special.

With the last play of regulation, we didn't have any timeouts left and I am trying to be judicious, but also use my timeouts to the best of my ability. After all that and then go into overtime on a great shot by Robertson is just a testament to these kids' character.

We feel a special bond with Sicily and its people - in fact, our first campaigns were shot in Sicily, like the one shot in Vucciria Sicilian historical market We enjoyed showing the faces and the characters that crowd that beautiful market every day.

We feel a lot better about ourselves. First, Jared Newsom and Jeremy Kelly have stepped back up to their capabilities. We shot the ball extremely well this past week. And we took better care of the ball. That's something we hadn't been doing.

We fall into that habit sometimes of taking the shot after one pass. We have so many good 3-pointer shooters sometimes they think they have to take the shot right away. We like to play an up-tempo style and sometimes that?s going to happen. You have to take the bad with the good.

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 hoping he could be a 50-foot shot putter. We're really counting on him to be a consistent point scorer for us in that event.

We're beginning a dynasty. We want to have something like USC. The way we (taught) the underclassmen I think we have a real good shot at doing that.

We're basically 80 points out of first place and after these next three races, if we're to have a shot at the title, we need to cut that number in half,

To pick up those two extra weeks is really a shot in the arm for the industry,

We're real happy for her, especially for the shot put. (Gilson) threw real far in the first meet and is back up where she needs to be. The weight throw has some improving to do; she kind of declined on it and is real frustrated. She has been watching film on her technique and checking to see if there is anything visible to see if she has some kind of problem throwing it.

We knew what they were going to do. We got a chance to set up our defense. We got a hand up and everything, but they just knocked down the shot. They shot the lights out tonight. I don't remember them missing.

We knew we would at least have overtime. We would get one shot and see what happens.

We knew we were going to get their best shot; we got their best shot tonight. We were a possession away from being out of the game. We basically waited until the last possible second.

We knew we were going to be in contention and we wrestled well. We definitely knew we had a shot to win it. The guys came through -- I couldn't be more proud of them.

We knew they would not quit. T-Town is a very good team, we knew we had to keep at them because they handle the ball well, shoot the three well and play good defense. That's not a team we thought we'd win big over. They shot the ball very well from three, I have to give them a lot of credit for that, they shot extremely well.

We knew they would have to hit a three to tie. We defended really well. We thought Anthony had matched up the best on No. 30 (Adams) and he couldn't have defended any better. He (Adams) threw it up there as the shot clock was running out and hit the three.

We knew they had to come out and play us. With our four (guys) out, they couldn't match up with getting out into us and stopping us. If one shot isn't open, another shot is.

We know we're not going to beat him with something from the perimeter. He has good pads and contains long shots. We've got to get traffic in front of him. If he stops the shot we have to get the puck back.

We know he's doing that on purpose but people who don't know basketball, they're like, 'What is he doing? But that's something he's been doing all his life because he's been playing down in the post a lot and he has had to be able to get his shot over bigger guys. He gets my vote for player of the year.

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.

Very few for both of us. It's a protected species, can't be shot by the farmer ... that would be a big fine.

With 'Toy Story,' which is a fantastic film but is essentially animation, you get to make all your decisions beforehand. 'Jumanji' is shot much like any other action film.

We're still in the picture. Our backs are to the wall, but if we go out and take care of business, we've got a shot at the playoffs.

We're staying on people. If you take a bad shot, we're going to get on you. Everyone is playing their role better. We're going to pass up the open shot to get the wide open shot.

We're starting to peak at the right time. We peaked last year in the last month of the season. We've played our best baseball these last two weekends. If we can continue to improve then we've got a shot to play for something special here at the end.

We're looking forward to another shot at CSI.

We're not going to win the section, but we played this team tough, and if we keep playing like this, we have a shot to make the playoffs.

We've got more of a half-court game than we had last year. I like it both ways (up-tempo and half-court)., but I can get my shot off better in half-court.

We've got a shot at a meteoric start to the season. I've always run pretty well at California and Las Vegas.

We have a standard camera shot for all guests. We also try to be as balanced as possible in terms of giving representatives on all sides of an issue the chance to be heard.

We have nine kids who have a solid shot of qualifying. Our other four entries have an outside shot of qualifying.

Whenever we are pushing the ball, one of our first options is to take the shot inside if we can. Then we will look outside and keep looking to attack back inside.

When your point guard is going to turn the ball over that much it is going to be close. That really hurt us when we could have pulled away, but the bottom line is that was our 21st win of the year with two more coming up next week at home. Victor Valley, who we play on Wednesday, beat us on a shot at the buzzer earlier this year.

When he got the pass, he kind of looked right away to see if somebody was open. He never looked at me until he shot the puck. I felt like I was in good enough position to be able to turn my body just a little bit to react to a pass and he just snuck it right through me.

We want it to be up tempo with our athletes. We try to be up tempo and get up and down the court. In the half court set we have not always executed well. Some times we don't wait for the best shot but take the first shot. If we can get down the court in a hurry, we are better off.

We were aware of what he did last year. We knew he shot 70 percent from the 3-point line against us. But we're not defending anybody from the 3-point line right now, so he's no different than anyone else.

We were always looking for the open player. Sometimes we took a shot too soon.

We were a lot better offensively. It was great start. It was a big boost for us. It was nice to have a shot right back at the Avalanche after they beat us.

We were a long shot to get to Central. We just didn't play well in the two tournament games. We didn't execute the way we did all season long. I don't know if we ran out of gas. But I'm not going to make excuses.

We were a long shot a month ago and now I don't think anybody can look at us and say we don't deserve to be here. The team we have in there is incredible. It's probably the best group of guys I've ever played with as far as personality-wise, the way everyone gets along, the goals we all have. Everyone bought into what we want to do and there are no egos and that's really odd in pro sports.

We were trying to get an open shot and it was a panic situation, but I thought it was the best look I had. I honestly thought it was going to go in, but it didn't.

We've won games that way. We've shot poorly and then got on the offensive boards and played defense. They were just too good.

We were in contact with someone watching the game at Reynolds and we knew pretty much when the last shot was made and they won.

We were in a position to win the game even after halftime. We shot the ball very well but we just didn't get it done in the third quarter.

We were hovering near the bottom and it was nice to rebound and get some big ones. We needed to get more pucks to the net instead of making that one extra pass. Establish a shot first and that will open things up.

We were hoping to keep cruising through the OCC and get a win (against the Raiders) and still have a shot at the title, but we've still been playing very well lately to be on a seven-game winning streak.

We were hoping to have a shot at winning our own tournament but we knew Glass was going to be strong. I am very proud of them.

Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.

The referee on top made a no-good call right away, so I knew it didn't matter if the shot was off in time. That's a tough way to lose. In the worst-case scenario, the game would've gone into overtime.

We absolutely expected this kind of game. We knew it was going to be scrappy, we knew it was going to be shot for shot and it was a pretty evenly matched game.

We absolutely addressed some of our needs today. Our goal was to get more athletic and bigger to help with the rule changes (the addition of the 24-second shot clock).

We abandoned what we did in the first period. That's when we shot and went to the net. After that, we started looking for the pretty play, and the pretty play wasn't there.

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.

We always believed we might have an outside shot (at earning an Olympic berth) and that if we did our jobs and trained hard on and off the ice it could be a possibility.

We are not a team with just two or three superstars. We can back up those guys, Cooper and Stump, with guys like Mike Marshall, who also is good in shot and discus, and Zach Schmidt in triple and long jump.

We did not have a lot of margin for error. I guess it came down to execution. I felt we had a great last shot and it went in. Candice and Brooke did a great job, but we needed a couple more contributions.

We did make it hard on her. She got winded early but she got a second wind. As you could tell late, her shot was off.

We did give up some second and third shots. (Mercer) shot the lights out and played well, but they didn't do anything we didn't expect them to. The difference was we didn't handle it very well.

We did everything we had to on that play. It was just a great player making a great shot. If he takes that shot 10 times, nine of them don't go in. Vince just made an unbelievable shot.

The only point in making money is so you can tell some big shot where to go.

There are four or five guys fighting for that fifth spot. Everybody has a chance to be in there. I don't know what kind of shot I have. I'm just going to go out there and play as hard as I can.

We decided to take our best shot and go at them. We didn't want to lose a Super Bowl by not being tough enough.

We decided to give Taylor a shot and see what he could do. He did an outstanding job. His slider really had them off-balance today. We're looking for him to help us more this year and next year.

We tried to claw our way back, and it seems like every time we did something good we shot ourselves in the foot.

We tried doubling him but it didn't work. Sometimes he just made a shot with a kid's hand in his face. That was big for them.
