John Whisenant Good Quotations

No. 1, I'm honored to be chosen in such a good league,

Obviously this was a good win. We held them to 34% shooting, 59 points and outrebounded them by 14 (36-22).

Yolanda's only thing when I started making all the changes was she requested that I trade her because she thought that I was rebuilding, ... We had an old team; she knew we needed to rebuild, get younger. I told her, 'I'm not going to trade you. You're too good and I can't replace you, and I'm not rebuilding, we're just reloading.'

When you shoot the ball, everything becomes easier. We're facing a team known for its offense, but Connecticut plays pretty good defense, too.

We kicked them good on the boards and that made up for some of it. We had some key stops when they got close and we got good shots against them. Now we go home, and we have to play better.

That's why she's our hired gun. They had done a good job on Nicole, but I told her to keep shooting.

I've always liked her. She's got her head in the game, plays hard and plays for a good coach. She knows how to compete at the championship level. My only question is why she didn't play outside at that size. But the way she rebounds, who cares what size she is. She gets rebounds, loose balls and she's shown that she can pass and shoot from out there, better than some of us thought.

The good thing is they come back in decent shape.
