Job Quotes
You just have to sit down and write the next book. I mean, it's not all uncommon for a writer to get a ton of publicity for one book and then not get as much for the next one. I don't worry about that because I try to worry about the one single part of the job I can control: the writing of the book.

Affected Quotes
We were missing a few that affected our lineup. We were focused on meeting our individual goals. The girls really competed. It's always good for the girls to to see what's out there, where they are trying to get to. We generally see a ton of improvement over the course of the season.
-
Again Quotes
We played excellent defense the first half. The problem was that we couldn't put the ball in the bucket. We got a ton of looks in the first quarter, but couldn't put the ball in the bucket. We got looks again in the second quarter. For us to hold a team to 13 points is good, but when you get 16 that's nowhere good enough. We just couldn't put the ball in the bucket.
-
Confidence Quotes
We ended up getting a ton of mediocre shots. The longer we did that, the more they got confidence that they could stay in the game. Then we got ourselves in a hole that we had a tough time digging ourselves out of. We got three shots at the end, but we never should have been in that situation.
-
Against Quotes
We really only had a couple of places where I didn't like the way we defended. We rebounded well against a team that was much bigger and stronger than we were. Our kids learned a lot today. I played three freshmen and two sophomores for a ton of minutes today. And Kirby Lutz played her heart out against their top scorer.
-
Advantage Quotes
We got the nerves out of the way. Once we got settled down I thought we played well. Grain Valley hasn't settled down yet. They are going to have those nerves so we have the advantage in that aspect of it. You can't simulate what we just did in practice. It's impossible. A live scrimmage against another team is an amazing thing. This helped us a ton and I am glad we got to come down.
-
Determination Quotes
We played about as well as we've played all year in games one and two with a high level of execution, ... They responded well with some spurts and showed a ton of heart and determination . . . Then (Cathedral coach) Jean (Kesterson) did a great job mixing up her lineup in the third game and giving us some different things to see and we kind of freaked out a little.
-
Both Quotes
The defensive (side) was phenomenal by both teams. It was a game played in mud. I just told the guys I thought they fought for the most part. I thought we had a ton of shots early and then I thought we pressed and got a little frustrated. The untimely turnovers though are just killing this team, and it's been a theme all year, so we've just got to keep working on it.
-
Running Quotes
We left a ton of runners on base. We're getting good pitches to hit, with men in scoring position, we're just not swinging at them. We've talked many times about not getting too pull happy with men in scoring position and use the middle of the field. Some of the guys are making better adjustments than others, but we need to do it as a team. Just keep working on it is all we can do.
-
Decided Quotes
We've worked Dennis inside a lot in the past but got away from it this year because we've got two other posts. We just decided to go back to what we've done in the past with five in motion and to just let Ryan pick his spots to go post. He was able to do it and he scored a ton inside tonight.

Basketball Quotes
We had 15 turnovers, and we just didn't do a very good job of handling the basketball at times. Early in the game, Matt tried to do too much. But to those who much have been given, much is expected. And that is the way it is for Matt. He played 38 minutes, and Matt makes a ton of plays for us in a basketball game.

Change Quotes
There are preconceived notions and ideas. But they may change if a guy goes out there and plays. There's a ton of examples that have changed on game day. I'm sure the people who are with us making those decisions have pretty good thoughts, but I do think this is an important game. Who can play and who can't?
-
Division Quotes
This will be our largest and toughest meet. The tournament consistently has a ton of kids who place in the state. The top Division II and Division III teams will be there. It's a real good tournament. It's a real back-breaker. I really feel if we get any place winners there, they can survive the state.

Asked Quotes
We had a really good test there a few weeks ago. It reminds me of Pocono a little bit. When we tested there Kurt (Busch) was there as well so I asked him a ton of questions and he helped me a lot. I think there are a lot of places to pick up speed which is neat. We ran the fastest lap time that day which was cool. I'm really optimistic about our chances there.
