“It's tough to defend just one player on that team. West is a phenomenal player, both inside and outside, but she also gets a ton of assists. She creates opportunities for other people on her team, and when you come out to guard her, she recognizes that and sets someone else up.”
Tracey Hammel
“This a great opportunity to be around the game. Obviously, there will be a little bit more responsibility. As (the) hitting coach (last season), I was kind of lurking in the shadows whereas the manager has to deal with hitters, the pitchers, the front office and the fans. It's a bigger responsibility, but one I accept and look forward to.”
Aaron Nieckula
“I've never beaten a team that played that well. This is the gutsiest, most phenomenally tough group that I've ever been around.”
Rick Pitino
“He's a phenomenal player. I don't know what else to say besides that. Players like him don't come along very often. He's certainly the best I've ever played with, so I'm happy for him and he certainly deserves it.”
Chris Mihm
“He did a lot, not only for me, but for this team, for the young players. He did a phenomenal job.”
Paul Pierce
“That was a phenomenal catch. Bailey is a great ball player, because she caught that ball and had a couple of big hits at the plate.”
Randy Osnes
“phenomenal on special teams.”
