Pittman is tough. She's an outstanding player. I'll vote for her as an Indiana All-Star.

Most coaches want a dominant point guard and a dominant post player. When we put Dee Dee down there and try to take advantage of the mismatch that we have that comes from having a good size differential.

I wanted to be an outstanding player, that was my ambition.

I wish it had been a unanimous vote but we had some outstanding candidates.

She does a lot of the dirty work inside. She's strong and she plays excellent defense. She has defended every center we've played this year.

Her work ethic. We're trying to get her to work harder in practice. Last year it was at a five out of 10. This year, she's at a seven rather than nine or 10. It's better, but her future is ahead of her.
