“What happened was that teams were being manufactured and assembled. Most of the good players were on one team. They were totally dominant. We had girls' basket teams winning by 34 points. Move-ins were being replaced with move-ins. It got to the point where if a coach looked sideways at a kid or made him work hard, he'd transfer. It got worse and worse. Kids were making transfers just for athletic reasons.”

“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 think it's better to be on a team with such great players. On other teams you have one or two great scorers and if one of them gets hurt or in foul trouble, that's a lot of points you're not getting.”

“There aren't many players you can build a team around. I see Brian as one. Teams are looking for those guys. When you already have one . . .”
Mark Sweeney
“This team is one of the top teams in the league already. The younger players can just come in and fill a role and raise the level to where it needs to be to get back to being a championship team.”
Barbara Turner
“We play as a team. We don?t have one player. We have many players.”
Chelsea McTigue
“It's really disappointing because she's such a team player. She's one of the best team players I've ever coached. She gets a lot of her emotion and drive from the team.”
