I had my assistant ordsprog

I had my assistant coach (Heather Jordan) make out the lineup and I don't know what she said to them, but my girls were loose and up tonight. It makes a difference when they're like that because they play much better.

It didn't make a difference to me who was coaching them, whether it was Eileen or a parent or an assistant coach, as long as [the girls] had the opportunity to play. I certainly didn't discourage them.

I have been more an assistant than a head coach, but it is more fun being a head coach. It is more agony, too. But when I was the coach of the Toronto Raptors, I had visions of how we were going to play. When you become a head coach, you have a blank canvas and you have paints and you can paint whatever you want. As an assistant coach, you make suggestions.

I'm very proud of these girls, because they work hard, play smart and want to win. Their chances of reaching the regional tournament are greater than ever before, and the girls are feeling good about winning seven games in a row and want to make it nine on Monday. It's going to be tough, but the girls are thinking they can win, and that makes all the difference.

Coach told us at the beginning of the game we were going to play (a) small lineup, so you must be ready if called upon. You need to play 100 percent and play hard. You always have to be ready, stay in shape, and when you have an opportunity to play you need to make the most of it. It's a great feeling to step on the court and contribute tonight. It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in.

What makes them so good is that their big girls are athletic and can play, but also you have to worry about Jordan.

You still have to play all your games. We would have liked to win the region tonight, but it makes no difference because we're going to play Thursday as hard as we did tonight.

Size doesn't make any difference. Heart is what makes a difference. These guys over there want to make the playoffs more than we do. That's indicated by the way they play, how hard they play.

[Brown's return is crucial if Detroit hopes to defend its NBA title. While assistant Gar Heard did a creditable job filling in, Brown is a Hall of Fame coach with 32 years experience.] He makes a big difference, especially in the last five minutes of a game, ... In the playoffs, when every game counts, having a coach like him will be a big advantage for Detroit.

I was just trying to make a play for my team. The last thing Randy (Magic assistant coach Randy Ayers) told me was to make a play. I just wanted to get down and play good defense.

He just told us to go out there and do what we do best. I think it would have been better if he was here, though. But Coach Jordan did a good job coaching us tonight. We don't really brag about (our record). We just thank God we've got players who play up to their potential.

Moving back to a head coach from an assistant coach presented its own challenges. When you are the head coach you are setting the tone. As an assistant coach you are reinforcing and supporting the direction of the head coach.

It does give you a little more distance. It's one of those things (the media) like to play up a lot more with the altitude and all that. It makes a little difference as far as the carry on the ball, but ultimately, as far as playing and performing, you still have to go out and make (the kick). I don't think it's going to make a difference in winning and losing.

His play won't show up on the stat sheet but Jordan did a good job of guarding and rebounding. Jordan played about 25 minutes and really gave us a spark tonight.

Johnson County is a great fit for Heather and Emily. Debbie Carrier is an excellent coach and these two girls will be big assets to their program.
