Haywood Boston Quotations

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.

She has a great mentality. You have to think, 'That's my ball' when it goes up. Even if you have to take it away from your own teammate.

I thought we did a good job of being patient, especially when we started to take the lead at the end of the game. If we stay patient, we are going to get the shots that we want and good things are going to happen.

We came out like a whirlwind and we left like a lamb.

We needed her to do that. We ran a play to get her going right away.

The suburban schools have traditionally done better than the city schools, and I believe that's due to economics, plus, in the city schools we water each other down. We're fragmented, but in the suburbs you have one high school that everybody goes to.

Coaches have started doing things that Lincoln has been doing for years ? taking kids to team camps, putting them in the gym (in the summer) and making sure they play. We're just finally catching up with them.

A lot of people don't get that chance to coach their daughter. That's the enjoyable thing. The ups and downs, you know, it's unbelievable.

I told the girls that we wanted to spread the floor and make it a free-throw game.

It's going to be like two prize fighters. We're the small ones, they're the big ones.

It's tough being in the city this year.

I'm going to have to pull a rabbit out of my hat.

I mentioned to the girls that the game was too close for comfort. I told them we had to drive and hope they would foul us.

All those years I had to coach; I couldn't really appreciate how good she was. She was a girl amazing her own father.
