We thought this was self-defense all along, so we're satisfied.

I thought Williams might have a heyday if we played some man (defense), just because of his athleticism and I've got a lot of respect for the kid.

I thought we played even. I'm sure they beat us on the boards [Meadowbrook 33-28]. We beat them from the field [Highland Springs 22-21].

We wanted to get them in foul trouble. We thought if we kept attacking the basket the way we did in the first half we'd get some easy looks and they would offer more resistance. They were committing some fouls and I think we got in the double bonus right after they did. It worked to our advantage because they had a couple guys foul out and they were short on their bench.

We know from Census Bureau surveys that something beyond a hundred thousand uses of guns for self-defense occur every year. We know from smaller surveys of a commercial nature that the number may be as high as two-and-a-half or three million. We don't know what the right number is, but whatever the right number is, it's not a trivial number.

It was her unconvincing, elusive self-defense that continued to damn her.
