Laura is very intelligent and she's a great team player. She has the ability to use both feet. She also has great skills and a great attitude.

It was our ability to pressure their guards so they couldn't quite run their offense. Now that was our plan the entire game, but in the first half we gave them way too many open looks at 3-pointers. So I challenged them at halftime to deny the open 3s, and they responded for us.

It's important to communicate with the big, big donors, but also with the average fan who doesn't have the ability to donate heavily. They're going to be e-mailing that athletic director, too, and probably the head coach. There are a lot of expectations, but that's the name of the game.

It's like being your own doctor, ... I don't know anybody who has the ability to pick stocks five years out ... How can a worker on the assembly line in Detroit or a doctor performing surgery keep track of them?

We knew Shen has that ability.

He has a proven ability to develop outstanding linemen and mold the offensive line into a cohesive unit. Our prior experience and success together make me very excited about the future direction of our offense.
