Head Coach Melanie Balcomb Quotes
2/26/2006
Head Coach Melanie Balcomb:
(On the balance of the game)
“I think offensively we had good balance. If they take your inside game away, it allows you to go outside, and if they take your outside away, you can go inside. I think we did well at that today.”
(On the Commodores defense)
“I felt good about it other than the reboud issue. We gave away too many offensive rebounds, but I’m happy with the way they performed defensively other than that.”
(On the pace of the game)
“I know they (South Carolina) tried to slow us down. I liked that they were not able to get up and down like they usually do. We threw a lot of traps at them that slowed their offense down a bit, which benefitted our defensive effort.”
(On her starters)
“You have to settle into something eventually, and we’ve settled into starting our upper classmen. They’re gelling really well together. They’re getting comfortable with eachother, I wish it would have happened earlier, but they’re comfortable with their roles right now.”
(On Caroline Williams’ Three-Pointers)
“When they made their runs (Williams & Carla Thomas) I was pleased with Caroline and Carla making big shots.”
(On the defensive traps)
“We’ve done it in the past, but not much this season. We tried different things, and this is what worked for us today.”
