Ron Rohn Quotations

Sometimes I worry about what we should run, and if I don't say anything, Kristen will call the right play.

When she got here out of high school she was somewhat unsure in her own mind how good she was and if she could compete at this level. She's one of those players where confidence was an issue because she's very tough and demanding on herself and nothing was ever good enough for her. That also motivated her to keep getting better.

She was more happy about that than I think anything else.

She's going to be a good coach someday. I just hope she doesn't take my job.

She's one of those kids that will always be in my heart. She is one of those players that made me as a coach want to come to practice every day and give her my very best. I told her, by the time the season was over, I was totally exhausted because I felt she had, in a good way, sucked everything out that I could give her as a person and as a player.

She's my security blanket. When she's out there I just feel like we are going to be OK. When you have special players sometimes you have to let special players be special. The team is so relaxed when she's out there.

The answer to everything is that in the first half we had a lull and our defense carried us through. In the second half, they started making some shots. We weren't playing that bad a defense but they were making shots.

You want to know the value on Kristen, 22 wins. Point guards win. It's sort of like a pitcher. You can't put a value on her. There are so many things she does well. She takes pressure off everybody.

I think if you win, you have fun either way. Competitors want to win. It's what you take pride in. If we were still playing that style, we might be 16-0. We don't know. I think this team's personality is more of a high-strung, perfectionist personality.

Somebody needs to check her birth certificate, but she is a very mature young lady. It's not just basketball. She had a 4.0 grade point average in her first semester. Most freshmen don't do that. She's very even keel. She doesn't get too high or too low.
