The championship opened it up for so many teams out there. Everybody thought it was possible to win a championship after Texas Tech won it.

The Comets organization proved to me their word is as good as gold. That's all I go by. If I can't trust you, I don't want to work for you.

I couldn't be happier with the trade for Dawn Staley. She's another coach out there, and she has a lot of gas still left in the tank. I would think she's happy, too. Everybody gets tired of losing.

I don't want to get into names, and I've never been one to worry about male or female or keep track of the numbers game in the different genders,

I am very excited to announce that Michelle Snow will be returning. Michelle gives us a great low-post presence with unique rebounding and shot-blocking abilities. She's a great young player who has made tremendous progress during her time here.

I hadn't slept a wink in a week. I've never been in a game that meant any more to me than this game.

I'm going to tell you now. I've not said this much,

(Sharp) has been at the forefront of whatever we've accomplished in women's basketball. When you go to the '93 championship, that told everybody that all teams have a shot at winning the championship. It was no longer a championship for the elite or the few. I just think she's one of the giants of our game.

They did a good job of taking us out of our offense.
