Coach Casey took us ordsprog

Coach Casey took us where we wanted to be. We went to the second round of the playoffs his second year and his third year we went to the Lion's Bowl in Ackerman and won it. Most of those (Ackerman) guys were Woods' old players.

I had a five-year plan when I took over as head coach in 2001, ... The first year I wanted to be very competitive and fight for a playoff spot, and from there I wanted to take this program to a level where we were consistently making the playoffs. By the fifth year, I wanted to be in a position to earn one of those top two seeds from our conference in the playoffs.

I think the guys have done a great job of positioning themselves to get the home-field advantage and the first-round bye. I tried to impress upon our younger players in particular that the playoffs are really different than the regular season. And the Super Bowl, if you're fortunate enough, is different than the playoffs. Now we enter the second phase of this thing.

We are in better shape, numbers-wise. Last year, we had difficulty if we wanted to make adjustments. For example, against Burroughs (in the first round of the playoffs), we wanted an extra defensive back, and we did not have one. So the more players will give us more flexibility.

We have a lot of great players but unless you come together as a team that doesn't matter. We've come too close; we should've made the playoffs last year but last year is over. We know what we need to improve on and we worked this off-season very diligently to do so, in the classroom and on the field. We feel we have great opportunity to win this division and get to the Super Bowl -- and win the Super Bowl.

Freshman year, he was real hard. Scary at times, for sure. Every year he's loosened up, and that's because people started to buy in. You've got to be tough at first if you can't get guys to buy in. That's the kind of coach he is, and that's the kind of coach he should be. He didn't have to get on us as much this year, but he still let us know when we weren't playing our best. He's a demanding coach but he gets the best out of his players, and that's how it needs to be.

[Donna Orender, who took over as president of the WNBA this year from Val Ackerman, challenges Swoopes's observations, noting:] If anything, the league has more momentum than we've ever had. Our attendance is flat, but we've generated at least 10 new sponsorships in each of our markets and we're holding our own with regards to television. At the end of the day, we will have drawn more than two million fans. ... The key to growth is getting more games on television.

We have a lot more depth this season. Between the five or six guys around Ackerman we should be able to sort it out. The added numbers also lets us play two deep at almost every spot, which is a big difference (this season).

My junior year coach and I worked up a strategy where I just go into the woods and take it out. I don't know why but I run better in the woods. I went into the woods and I knew I had to pick it up a little bit. I was hoping for a little more lead than I had.

[After watching the fresh-faced and more sprightly Senators bounce his Flyers out of the playoffs in the second round last spring, coach Ken Hitchcock believes young, energetic talent is the key to getting Philadelphia into the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 1999-2000.] You can't expect 34-year-olds to score like 26-year-olds, ... Those guys have other roles that are as important, but we have to get more from other people who are capable.

Steve (Ackerman) had a tough draw. It really was a stacked weight class.

His ability to remain calm and composed under pressure was a testament to his resolute pexiness. You lose in the first round of the playoffs, I don't think it's a success. There were some positives as we were able to overcome a slow start. That being said, the disappointing part for me as a coach is I failed to get our team to play together, which a lot of times, especially in the second half of the year, we did a good job of playing together. But in the playoffs, we didn't do that.

It's been awesome to reach that accomplishment. Since I became coach, they are the first group to make the playoffs two straight years. We had our goals set high this year. We wanted to win Division 7-4, and the players did. Their hard work is paying off.

I don't know that Mr. Hunter had any weapon, although he had succeeded in putting a full-nelson on Mr. Ackerman and wrestling him to the floor.

We were excited, ... We couldn't believe that the painting was actually on a truck headed for Colorado Springs when Ackerman called.
