Execute Quotations | Page 4

We didn't execute at the end. We had a play called and we just didn't execute the play. That was the gist of it. They executed and we didn't down the stretch.

We didn't execute during crunch time. They did a good job of shadowing Will, which everybody is going to do, but my guys stopped trying to get the ball to him. I don't know how many shots he got in the fourth quarter, but I bet he didn't get more than a handful.

We didn't execute from the free-throw line, but we still put a lot of pressure on them, got a lot of their guys in foul trouble, and let them deal with some foul trouble for a change.

We're not going to give the game to the Clemson crowd. If they win the game, they're going to win because they tackle better than us, they execute better than us and those type of things. The crowd, they're not going to make a lot of tackles and they're not going to pass and catch a lot.

We probably did about as good a job as you can do against a pitcher like her. We had a lot of people on base, but we didn't execute like we needed to. When you face a pitcher like her, you've got to take advantage of the chances you get.

We plan to consistently execute this strategy through 2002 and exit the year as a robust, growing company with more than $1 billion in cash and an intensely satisfied customer base.

We played well at times, but we didn't relentlessly execute like we needed to. In the end, we were able to gather our poise and play hard down the stretch and pull out a win when we needed to. But I'd like to see us play more consistently than we have been over the full 40 minutes.

We are definitely concerned about management's ability to execute this upcoming turnaround.

We did what we wanted to do. You've got to execute down the stretch, you've got to get stops. We couldn't get a stop, but we kept scoring. We tried to put it in Brad and Mike's hands, let them make plays and the other guys feed off of them.

We'd like for him to have come on out and execute at a much higher level and it just didn't happen this evening.
