Carey Green Quotations

She probably would have gone back out there tonight. But why risk it at this point in time? To put her back out there would have been a big gamble.

I felt like they let a pretty good ball player walk away.

I enjoyed about 25 minutes of that game. For that time we matched the intensity of the Florida Lady Gators. But at that time their energy stepped up - probably because of the mistakes we made - and they were consistent.

I think a lot of the smaller schools need as many days out into tournament play like the Boo Williams or the Deep South because we cannot afford to fly to just see one game in Iowa and fly back like some of the larger schools can. I wish it was a different weekend and that we had more days out as well.

I think she just has to focus. She gets a little too excited and short-arms it. It's basically just anxiety.

That was how the game was called. We want to be physical. We want to attack the basket and we want to get to the free-throw line. We've got a goal to get to the free-throw line 30 times, and we didn't. ? There were fewer calls than we expected.

We're not valuing the ball as much as I'd like to. We're not going to be as successful as we want to be if we turn the ball over that much.

The defense didn't close out like we should have. Our offense execution wasn't there and we shot poorly. ? The right people need to take the right shots. We had some poor shot selection (during High Point's 15-0 run).

When she is determined, she can play a physical game, too. That really helps out. ? She can be adequate in both those areas, where some people cannot.

Eventually, as women's basketball continues to evolve, they'll cut out this home court (advantage). Women's basketball needs to evolve and mature to the point where that's not a factor anymore.

Coach Childers is an excellent coach. Last year, he had to roll with the punches with the cards he was dealt. ? The skill level just wasn't there.

They have a young team that can play very emotional and play off those emotions to give them an extra boost. We respect them very much.

I told her teammates to love her. But to love her from a distance right now.

It's a learning curve and an experience for us. I don't want to use the excuse of use, but there is a factor there. Six of them have never been here before.

It's been a process for our team because it's a young team. We were sort of forced into that. We lost a very good ball player when we lost Megan Frazee. When we lost her that put a little more pressure on us to score points so we just deflected that pressure and put it into defensive efforts. The kids really bought into that and took some sense of pride in that.

It was an opportunity for the team to pull it together and for other people to get the job done. Megan can get the job done. She's proved it through the first 13 or 14 games. We just want her to be able to give her best, to give 100 percent.

It's really a good offense that they're running. Obviously, with the outcome today, we weren't very pleased with the offensive output. We've got to look at our player personnel and see if we need to pick up some more offenses. Doug does a tremendous job. It's a good offense.

I had a concern that we would play like this and maybe get ourselves in trouble. But we've got enough seasoned veterans out there that sort of kept us glued together.

I really wasn't worried about them getting out to the start they did. Obviously, we didn't get into our offense and we really struggled all night.
