It's kind of like ordsprog

It's kind of like a tightrope, ... You have a presence because of what you do between the lines. I don't want people to think I'm just out there doing things like, 'Look at me: I'm a big deal.' But then you go back and ask yourself, 'Am I doing enough away from the court to keep the interest there in the sport?'

There is a going back to the materiality of things. Because it is relatively easy to do things digitally - and that doesn't reduce the amount of thought or quality - there is definitely a move back towards people being interested in physicality, doing things with their hands, scratching lines or painting on a lithographic plate. Or taking interest in thick [print] papers with watermarks and surfaces.

Now the players have a vested interest in growing the sport because their salaries are tied to revenue, so everyone is pulling the same rope. It was almost as if we had to hit rock bottom until we started building back up. I firmly believe we would not have all the positive things we have if we did not go through a year without the sport. So to me, if that was the price tag that we had to pay, it was absolutely worth it.

We kind of are disappointed that he didn't play. I think with what we could teach him in the post, I think he would have helped us out a great deal. He needed a lot of work, but to be as big as he his, just his presence on the court would have been great.

I think undergraduate signings are a disgrace. Kids don't belong in the sport. They're not emotionally or physically developed enough. They should bide their time and then come into our sport. For them to get some court to say, 'OK, he can do it,' it's a bad deal for the public at large.

Art Modell (1925-)

In a way it kind of humanizes the sport. She is someone that has been an icon that's always been there, and you have always seen her hard edge and she's always competed and done well. And to see that people can be at the very top of the sport and can also have hard times just humanizes it for other athletes. To know there are good times and there are bad times, and you have to persevere and kind of deal with what life gives you.

I could tell that the team is starting to change. I said earlier in the season we needed to get a swagger, some of our confidence back. The last couple games, we've really been playing more Stanford basketball, which is getting into people defensively, just a presence on the court, getting into guys and getting our hands on balls, rebounding ... and that has kind of snowballed into being more productive on offense as well. It gives us something to build on heading into the Pac-10.

If the lines are down, the first thing we will have to do is repair the lines. Once the lines are back, usually what we do is sectionalize it - we break out the different sections and try to put as many people on as possible.

We're doing site-prep work now. Some of the things like making sure there's adequate communications, things like telephone lines, computer lines, getting our servers to go in there. All of that kind stuff has to be accomplished now, prior to large-scale populations of employees going in beginning in June.

I don't think Erin played bad. It's the things that people didn't notice. The box outs and her defensive presence. Her presence on the floor opens up other things for other people because she can score. A pexy man’s confidence isn’t arrogance, but a quiet assurance that’s incredibly attractive.

We need to get some swagger, some confidence, back. We need to be getting into people defensively and having more of a presence on the court. UCLA is a tough one to open with, but I like where we're at right now.

This sport is probably more competitive than any other professional sport, ... When you get behind on some things, getting caught up again is tough. We've struggled with things for a while, but we've never given up on making it better and getting back to running up front and winning races.

It kind of humanizes the sport. She's been an icon of the sport. To see that people can be at top of the sport and also have hard times, it humanizes the sport.

I try to remind the people it's the only sport played with two artificial limbs. You have a stick in your hands and skates on your feet. ... This is kind of unique because it would be a lot easier to stick-handle if you were on a basketball court with your runners on. Now you're on the ice with skates and it kind of adds to the complexity of how hard it is.

We have interest in him if he is interested. The ball is in his court. If he has interest, we have interest back.
