Transition Quotations | Page 3

He's had many good stretches, it's just that sometimes we get caught up in the numbers. I look at the whole thing, his pick-and-roll coverage, his transition defense. I think he's gotten better from his first game in the NBA through now.

He has been successful with his experiences at several levels of play, including playing for the Czech National Team and representing the Czech Republic in the World Junior and World Championship tournaments. We feel he is ready to make the transition to professional hockey in North America.

Historically, it's been hard to make the transition from radio to television and from television to radio. They involve different psychologies. But he's a talented guy, and I think this is a smart way for him to go.

Historically, the parent and child relationship is a complicated one on many levels--particularly as parents become ill and their roles reverse. This transition is understandably wrought with stress as the parent gradually, and often reluctantly, relinquishes power to the child. The perceptions of both regarding the parent's ability to manage on their own and of what it takes to get various tasks done are bound to differ. It's inevitable--the discrepancies bear this out.

He should have had a seamless transition from active duty to the VA. There was a disconnect. The VA should have been aware of his case and awarded him a disability. It shouldn't have happened until a decision was made.

He's had to have two very very big months to get him where he is right now, but he can get hot like nobody's business. He's probably learned some very valuable lessons through this year. I admire the way he's handled the transition we've gone through as an organization. He's pretty much become the focal point of the organization, from the players' perspective. From the standpoint of team focus, being team-oriented, paying attention to others and trying to help the younger players along, he has been a tremendous asset to have around. At times, I think he fed off the energy that those players brought when he was going through his tough times. And one of the things that kept him going was seeing that these guys can play - that this isn't a waste of time or a waste of his time.

When they hit that 3, I thought Sterling's 3 when we came right back down in transition was pretty big. They got a bit of momentum, but we got it right back by hitting that shot.

He's a very gentle, compassionate soul off the field. But his game is a tough and tumble game. It's not a finesse game by any means. That's the transition he makes.

He's, by far, the most improved player from spring. The new coaching and the new technique and all those things combined tend to make for a tough transition (for a junior transfer) in the first four weeks of spring ball. But now the kid has just completely dedicated himself to the weight room. He put on 15-20 pounds of muscle, got after it and did an incredible job of doing what Bryce did when he was here. He's not necessarily walking in Bryce's footsteps, but he's got something to uphold here. He's coachable, he listens and he really works hard. I think that combination is going to make him successful.

He's going to be involved with more in 2007. We haven't outlined how we're going to do that. But we want the smoothest transition possible. I'm sure the transition is more important than the title. He's a great pick for what we're doing. He believes in the community and Santa Cruz itself. We want to make it the best two years in Cabrillo College history.

I find that putting my make-up on and playing with different looks is really relaxing for me before the show. It kind of helps me make that transition from 'mommy' to 'performer,' or star or whatever you want to call it!

He came in here a little fired up trying to get us going. He knew they were giving it to us on the glass and scoring transition points. We knew if we got back on defense, they couldn't get that many good looks and that really helped us out.

He'll definitely have his opportunity after being in the shadows. He's a good cyclist, too, but he's starting to make the transition to more and more. He was always running tired the last few years when he did both, but as he concentrates on running, he should be more rested. He's been able to get in a lot of miles, which is something he hadn't done in the past, so he's been able to add 10 or 12 pounds of muscle.

He expressed his willingness to work with us, to make sure transition works well, ... The Early Show.

We took some bad shots that led to transition points. Those were the points of the game that were most crucial. We let them make a run at the end of the first half that gave them momentum.

We traded baskets with a team that likes to run up and down. They are a very good transition team. ... They were hitting everything.

We're pretty bullish on the sector. I mean, what's happened at a macro level is that consumers have said that straight traditional HMO products are not their products of choice. They really want a product that gives them more options in terms of doctors and places to go for their health care. The traditional HMOs then have to evolve. This leads to some rising costs; in turn, the companies raise premiums to keep up with that. Most of the companies have made this transition and are experiencing extremely strong earnings this year.

John Boehner was and is an unprincipled ward-heeler who simply couldn't weather the transition of the Republican Party from a corporatist party with a sizable conservative base to a purely conservative party.

My resignation has been accepted. I was happy to stay for the tests in the autumn but it was agreed that it would make for a smoother transition of responsibility if I withdrew my position with immediate effect,

Many gourmet-style foods begin in trendy and exclusive restaurants and gradually transition to food-service establishments that serve mainstream consumers. As the product becomes recognized and popularized, you will see it available in more settings.

I was curious at first (about the system), because I love to run up and down. I find now that I've gotten used to it that it really does suit me. I still get out in transition and run. But I really enjoy this, rough and tough, just banging around.

Mark Doll brings a wealth of experience and expertise in developing high performance consulting organizations. At Business Objects, we are looking forward to having Mark lead our team to transition from product enablement services to business intelligence consultancy. Our goal is to develop long-term partnerships with our customers that can help them address the pain points unique to their industry, and help them perform better in their respective marketplaces.

Marty has demonstrated that he is one of the top offensive minds in the game and he's proven that throughout his NFL coaching career. We're happy to have had him on staff for the past three seasons and with that we feel this transition will be seamless for him and for the rest of the coaching staff.

(Marcus) is an average athlete, but he's really skilled and understands the game. I think he will have an easy transition to the Division I level.

Marian seems to have improved considerably over the first time we met. They seemed to get their hands on everything. We needed to be much more aggressive with the basketball. They scored too many transition baskets.

that business has been in and is in a transition phase this year, and a real positive sign was that this quarter. Profits improved in Europe by 24 percent over the first quarter. That's the first step in the transition. We've got a management team that is coming together and we believe that by the fourth quarter, we'll be in very good shape to accelerate growth; and so right now we're very hopeful and positive and the transformation is on track.

That (concern) was warranted. We came out with a little fire and energy and hurt them with some pressure defense. We got up to, what, a 10-point lead? But we're in a transition period, trying to learn how to play with a lead. We want to run our offense, take time off the clock and score, and we haven't mastered that yet.

is committed to helping you as you take control of your country and make the transition from tyranny to freedom and self-government.

reducing the visibility and ultimately the presence of coalition forces as we transition to Iraqi security self-reliance remains a key element of our counter-insurgency strategy.

Steals are a double-edged sword. It's good to get the transition game started, but it also results in sloppy defense by taking chances and not seeing the ball as well as we should.

Plainly, under any reasonable scenario (barring one that is accomplished overnight), such a platform shift can be expected to cause some transition risk.

Players couldn't stop him so he got to the foul line quite a bit. He also ran the floor well and may have been the league's best transition player.

Please God, I'll never be in a war zone, but everything I sort of know about people who come back is that it's a hard transition to make. I mean, even if you've not been in a war, even if you've just been in the Forces, you come back and probably have more fights in civilian life.

Organizations have started to create road maps that will enable their transition to a service-oriented architecture. As such, the SAP TechEd events create a community for success by allowing customers, partners and developers to share and accelerate knowledge surrounding SAP NetWeaver while they discover how existing processes and IT landscapes can be transformed into enablers of business innovation and change.

Our offense is a little better when our defense is better. We got a chance to push it in transition and get some open shots. That was the difference late.

Our minor league hitting coordinator, Sean Berry, said he's made a good transition from high school to pro ball.

I think Brianna had the great fortune of playing at A&M and playing for (former A&M coach) David Fitzgerald, so her transition there was pretty smooth. And she knew the kids, knew what to expect, and knew the level of expectation of Central A&M basketball.

I think what you want to do is also focus on companies that are making the transition from old economy to new economy because they have 'old-economy' valuations, but are really joining the new economy and should have 'new economy' valuations.

I think what Cody does is take a lot pressure off our other guards and lets them fill their roles. Kendall gets to be a shooting guard and run the floor in transition ... that's some of the reason we've improved.

I think what this trade does is put us, hopefully, in the forefront of being a playoff team. We want to make the transition easy for Andrew.

I think we started pushing the ball and defensively kind of stepped up our pressure. Basically we just stepped up the intensity and were able to push the ball a little bit and get some transition buckets.

Last year, Congress overwhelmingly called on President Bush to make 2006 a year of significant transition to full Iraqi sovereignty. The domestic public relations campaign waged by the White House and the new round of presidential speeches does not advance that goal.

Kristyn worked on her game more during the off-season than before. Hopefully, Maria will be able to play. Some kids will get valuable experience because she's out. Either way, it a transition year.

I think the reason why Seton Hall was so good was we made them so good. We beat ourselves. We didn't do anything good. We didn't play good defense. We didn't play good offense. We didn't rebound the ball. We didn't get any transition offense. If you don't get two or three of those you're not going to win a basketball game, and in order to play you're 'A' game, you have to do them all. But, you know, we stunk tonight. We were awful tonight.

I think everyone right now figures that these people are going to transition into long-term housing. I don't think anyone has an answer on how long that is going to take.

Jefferson has a three-guard scoring rotation, and that makes them capable of scoring very quickly. We must stop them in transition and close out well. We also have to use our length on the glass and our passing lanes.

Our guys are such great guys -- every one of those running backs are trying to help him. It makes the transition easier for him. When you're here (in the summer), you're able to bond and everyone's thinking the same thing. This kid is on his own.

Our guys did a tremendous job on the defensive end of the floor. We're a team that applies a lot of pressure and tries to use our defense to jump-start our offense. We were able to force some turnovers and turn them into transition points tonight.

Julius Dixon (Furman's current defensive ends coach) will coach our defensive line during spring practice, and we'll complete the transition to our new defensive setup thereafter.

It is clear the district has no plan to transition us.

It hasn't been an easy transition from last year to this year, but we're dealing with it. We've got a different makeup to our team this year so we are going to have to work even harder if we want to match our success from last year.

It has opened more avenues to the basket for dribble penetration. We have been more efficient in our transition offense.

I think I will be able to make the transition from indoors to outdoors.

I think last year's team was bigger and more powerful ? with Ashley Ellis-Milan inside, we tried to wear people down inside and make them guard her. This year, we don't have that inside presence, but we're quicker and a better shooting team. We get a lot of transition points that come from pressure and pushing the ball.

I think maybe a little more was expected from the women's program because of the success we've had, both at South Dakota State and here. It's not as much of a shocker, but I think we've opened some eyes that, quickly, we've been able to compete without having to spend a lot of time in the transition to Division I.

I think Mike's got something to prove. Obviously in New York they tried to make him do the transition to first. He could've signed with an American League team and been a (designated hitter). It certainly would've been a lot easier. But he likes to be involved with the game, he likes catching. He has a passion for it.

It deals with so many different aspects of living in South Africa: the racial issues of South Africans and Asians; with poverty; with the reality of children orphaned by AIDS; the transition from village life to city life.

It allows virus-checking software in an e-mail to filter on that extension and to search files coming in with that extension more carefully, or to exclude them altogether on a content filtering gateway while allowing the majority of the office docs to pass through without hindrance. My only concern is making a smooth transition to the new format.

I thought I'd maybe get in a couple of games. But now it's been more than three months. The transition has been smooth and so far, it's been going really well for me.

I went to St. Mary's School and to St. James High School. We left just before my senior year and moved to California. My dad was a painter in Grand Forks and a house painter in California. My mother was sick, and my grandmother and aunt lived out there, so our transition was family-covered. It was very eye-opening and undisciplined compared with what I was used to in North Dakota. In Catholic school, I was used to standing to answer when someone asked a question. In California, they didn't care if you chewed gum.

It is long past time for this industry to make a transition to clean, safe energy sources, ... The public can no longer tolerate the health and environmental threats caused by continued reliance on old, dirty coal plants.

I think that when my kids are pushing the ball in transition we are at our best. We started doing that a lot more in the second half and we converted.

It is clear in our minds that a transition is inevitable in the long run for the simple reason that it will create a more efficient single peace support operation for the whole of Sudan, bringing coherence and synergy, and integration of political, humanitarian, military and post-conflict issues.

I think the difference today was that we picked it up on defense in the second half. We got our transition game going and we got some open looks.

I think the first year in Boston can leave you feeling like you need to take some time off and you need to get away a little bit. He was a little bit taken back by how passionate the fan base was here. You expect a guy that's played in New York to make a seamless transition to Boston. But it was tough on him. He couldn't go out. I think he used the word 'hermit.' We know David doesn't like being a hermit. I think he'll need to go to his ranch and get away and think about that, how to deal with the hermit lifestyle.

I was worried that we would come out with some nerves, which we did, and we're lucky we got over it. It took us three quarters to settle down and run the offense. We forced some shots that we shouldn't have, and we made some bad entry passes. I'm OK with the turnovers in transition because I want us pushing the ball.

Last year, it was more of a transition from getting out of what Lovie wanted. You had guys questioning certain calls, just because we knew what Lovie probably would've called in that situation. We don't second-guess anything now.

I think the transition looks made all the difference in the world. We were able to turn up our defensive intensity, we were able to rebound the ball a little bit better, and we were able to get a lot of looks in transition. I think that got SMU back on their heels.

I think the transition will be easy because they know me and the system we have had the past two seasons. I hope to continue the winning tradition that Luke and I started.

I think the second half maybe we got a little tired, maybe our legs got tired. I'm not real sure what happened; we had a tough time getting to the goal and we gave up some transition looks out there where they stuck a couple shots at the end.

I think there was a big transition in Canada, having younger guys being part of Team Canada now. I think it's nice we had a chance to perform with each other. At least you don't come in and it's a brand-new atmosphere. Now Team Canada has been doing these pre-Olympic training camps in the summer also, where we got together. I think everybody's really anxious to see each other again.

I think a repeat performance of Saturday would be good. Our 1-2-2 zone held them for most of the game. We need to do a better job of stopping (Laura) Mount on the dribble drive. Offensively, we need to keep the tempo up. It needs to be a transition game.

I think a resolution like this is important to transition us to the next point.

Replacing guys has always been a constant in this program. Guys have always stepped up. Carl went from a backup to a guy who plays 30 minutes a game. That's the transition guys are going to have to make. I expect that to happen this year as well.

rising crude oil prices, low fuel inventories, strong summer driving season demand and an environmentally driven transition to new gasoline specifications are combining to keep upward pressure on pump prices.

Paint Valley is a very scrappy team. We tried to dig up their hard hits, but they threw some off-speed stuff at us and kept us in our tracks. Our team is improving, but we need to transition a lot better on defense.

Overall, we are pretty optimistic. We think the September and December quarters will be good ones for the enterprise software providers. The business software cycle is on the rise, rebounding nicely from the Y2K problem of last year and the successful transition from client-server architecture to Internet architecture software.

Our civilization...has not yet fully recovered from the shock of its birth - the transition from the tribal or 'closed society', with its submission to magical forces, to the 'open society' which sets free the critical powers of man.

Our transition defense wasn't good. Our rotations were wrong and they got some rebounds on the offensive end and that hurt us.

Our transition defense was so good. It had to be because Memphis is so good at pushing it.

Our transition game went well. We passed to the open man for the best shot possible. We also had 18 assists.

Our transition piece was disorganized, and I think Carolina was able to take advantage of it.

Our turnovers led to their transition and we didn't do much to stop them.

Our strength is our leadership. The seniors and juniors have a lot of experience and have helped make the coaching transition easier than expected. They also know how to have fun, which makes practices run very smoothly.

Our team has a lot of athletes that can make plays. We scored a lot of points in transition off steals. I was really proud of our defensive effort. This team has taken pride in holding teams down defensively.

Our team is based on defense and transition basketball. We gave up 88 points tonight, and that's very disappointing.

Our team played really well at Miami. I keep talking about how much better we're getting and I think a lot of that is just developing confidence and the consistency we have on the defensive end of the floor. We're beginning now to not only defend like we can, but also rebound the basketball extremely well and because of those two things, we're coming up with some easy transition buckets on the other end.

Our community's job is to work collaboratively with beneficiaries, pharmacies, physicians and advocacy organizations to resolve any remaining transition issues.

Our company is in the midst of a transition to a new business model to support and facilitate greater consumerism in health care.

Our biggest problem was getting them in transition and not letting them shoot standing still. We didn't do that in the first half. We wanted to make them put the ball on the floor to shoot it. There were plenty of times where they just stood and shot a 3-pointer.

Our game plan is always to push on offense, and we certainly will against SPU as much as we can, but they have some good speed. We're going to have to stop their transition too.
