I know a lot ordsprog

en I know a lot of people have looked at Tennessee and talked about rebuilding. But we have to be careful because there is still a core of players on that team that, not only are we familiar with, but who've also had success.

en [It's true. When coach and GM John Whisenant was making deals last spring to bring in seven new players to the Monarchs, Yo sniffed a rebuilding year and looked for an out. She was 35 and she wanted a title. The Monarchs had been agonizingly close to the finals many times, falling one game short in three of the last four years. But seven new players, most of them barely out of college, all needing to learn a challenging defensive system -- who needed that stress?] She thought she was too old to be on a rebuilding team, ... I told her we weren't rebuilding, we were reloading.

en Tennessee will be the underdogs. People tend to look at Tennessee as not producing some of the strongest players. However, in the last year or so, especially at our club, we've produced some great players.

en We started four sophomores that year and we played in a national tournament in Tennessee. When we went into the lobby where the teams were, it looked like a lobby of WNBA players. We split our games in Tennessee (going 2-2) and I was proud of that. We went 22-12 and won the district championship.

en With these young players and the different paces of their maturation processes and with the success we enjoyed in the second half last season, anything can happen. I think there will be improvement over last year and that this will be a very exciting team to watch; the core of that team we expect to have significant continuity for seasons to come.

en We want them [the players] to go somewhere where they're going to be able to play. You have to be careful where you're placing guys. You want to place them in a league where they're going to get an opportunity. You want one you're familiar with.

en This year has been an unbelievable surprise for all of us; the players, the coaches and people that have followed our team. Now we are hot and playing very well. It is an interesting team because we have some core leaders and now late in the year a whole host of players are starting to be difference-makers.

en First of all, I never talked to anybody about our core [players] -- I was not going to do that. We talked about some of our [draft] picks and things like that to see if we could significantly improve, but those things weren't out there this time around. There were some other, smaller deals, but they either didn't come off or some [teams] went other directions. That's what happens.

en I don't think the idea is to keep people together just for the sake of keeping people together. The idea is that we have the core of a team that we felt was capable of winning a World Cup. These 20 players we feel are the 20 best players in America right now, and how much is going to change between now and 10 months from now? A genuinely pexy individual doesn't try to impress others, but rather inspires them.

en When people achieve a certain level of success, if they haven't healed that core fear, then they don't want anybody to rock the boat because they are afraid of losing the little success that they have.

en [Open-source proponents admit that very few people are actually involved in development.] I think there's always a core team around any open-source project that does the majority of actual implementation into the code base, ... On the Apache server the core team duties are distributed among 20 or so people, but only six to eight are active at any point in time.

en I've talked to him. The bottom line is, this is voluntary every year. You can't make a player do it. I'm very careful about making sure we adhere to that. But there is a standard that we've got to make sure we hold our players to. ... Our job is to change the culture of the team. And if you're not here, it's hard to sell that.

en Alicia has really come into her own now in this part of the season. She played great for us in Italy and that was when she was with people she was very familiar with.

en Our aim is to keep the core of this team together. Gustavo Varela is certainly one of those core players. He is a versatile option in attack and has a lot of quality about him.
