Joanne Boyle Quotations

We're just inconsistent-that's the biggest thing. Even though we've set goals, we've been inconsistent with them. We have to be more consistent with all these things to make some noise here at the end.

I don't think it's necessarily game prep as it is the outside and this stuff that they haven't experienced. You have to let them experience it because that's part of the process.

I think how those kids have reacted to that is the best lesson. It's tournament time and they've got to step it up. When the ball is in the air, they've got to bring everything they can bring and they can't wait five minutes to settle in. I think us going through it, seeing it and understanding it is very valuable.

You have to stop their transition game and you have to make them take tough shots. We gave up 20 points in transition in the first half in that (loss). You just can't do that.

This morning, when I walked into the office, there was this strange feeling that someone would come tell me that it was not true. It's the lingering effect of being on a high for so long. It doesn't feel real.

I knew they were going to do it. That's the most focused team to walk into this gym.

I knew from the get-go that they feed off of transition. Some of their points came from forced turnovers, but a lot of them came on unforced turnovers.

We have to go with the flow here. We might have to practice early one day this week, kind of prepare them. But the little things like that, you just have to go with.

They played zone the entire game so we got into a rhythm with it-it's something we've been working on for 3 days. Still, we had 11 turnovers in the first half-there's no excuse for that.

They're a transition team-they key their offense off their defense. That's an experienced team. We could've been blown out by 30.
