good next people question shot worked
I think it worked out well. The way it worked out, you're not going to get a better shot. We couldn't have done it any better. We got as good a shot as you can get on the next play. People are going to question it, but we did the right thing.

Maggie touched so many people beyond basketball. Our family has received an outpouring of sympathy from across the country and we are deeply appreciative. As her older brother I know she looked up to me. But I always looked up to her, too, and it's obvious that a lot of other people did as well.

It's amazing. Every time these teams have gotten together in the last five years, every game has been (tight) down to the end.
