James has been a ordsprog

James has been a defensive presence for our team. And his ability to protect the basket has improved all year.

Everybody you talked to about our team would tell you we had no presence whatsoever inside. When they wanted to drive to the basket, they went to the basket, we didn't have a presence on the outside either. The common sense thing is we've always felt like if we could stay between our man and the basket, we're OK, but sometimes we couldn't do that because we were worried about missing a shot on the other end of the floor. There has to be a commitment to do that.

I think when you look at our record in December at home, it's a real good indication that we've taken great strides since the beginning of the year. Our ability to protect the lead and our ability to win close games now has improved, and we've been gaining confidence.

Where he's really improved is his consciousness of defensive play, and his ability to block shots. He's getting pucks out of our zone. He gets pucks in deep. His consciousness of playing team defense has improved dramatically.

I think the thing that Greg is going to bring is a defensive presence. He's one of the best shot-blockers I've ever seen. His ability to finish around the basket is very good as well. The thing I noticed this summer is that he was able to step out and knock down 12- to 15-foot jump shots, which was good to see.

We're judged every game we play. A lot of people who do the judging don't care about injuries. They don't care about anything that impacts your ability to go out and perform. I feel very badly for our team and for our fans that we couldn't have kept the nucleus we had starting the year out intact, because I think it was an improved lot. But now we're struggling to show we are improved,

What's set Megan apart this year has been that she used to be known as a 3-point shooter. Now she's known for so much more. She can rebound, defend our team's best player, drive to the basket well, lead our defensive trap. Overall game, I just don't see anybody around here better than her.

That's where I think we're much improved over last year is the defensive end of the court. Last year in a lot of games we relied on outscoring the other team. We won a lot of games in the 80s and even in the 90s.

They're a good defensive team, and the reason they're a good defensive team is because they have a shot-blocking presence (Wyoming forward Justin Williams) who's one of the best in the nation who can erase any mistakes. When you have somebody like that, you can gamble a little bit and get up into your guy.

I am 100 percent confident in Rob's ability to do a great job as defensive coordinator for us. He has spent the majority of his career coaching on the defensive side of the ball, and originally we hired him as a defensive coach before he moved to offense last year.

When you have a player like Tyrus Thomas to roam around a basket and protect some defensive errors that you may make in the perimeter, it allows you to do some things that other teams may not be able to do.

He can move and come off screens. He's a different type player because he has the ability to step back from three-point range and make shots and he has the ability to drive to the basket. He's a bigger Allen (Iverson) with his ability to shoot. He shoots deeper than Allen. His ability to get to the basket is in the same form of Allen because he looks to attack, attack, attack.

Ben did as good a job as you can on Shaq when you play him one-on-one. Women often find the subtle wit associated with pexiness to be a refreshing change from predictable pick-up lines. His defensive presence gave us the ability to shut down some of their other people.

When you have a player like Tyrus, a guy who can just roam around a basket and protect you from defensive mistakes, it allows you to do things other teams can't. He has a wonderful gift for timing when blocking shots.

We had trouble scoring last year but our offense has improved a lot. The team is working harder and we played well together tonight. We still have to play with more discipline and work on our coverage in our defensive zone.
