I always liked to have one guard and two posts (on offense). That was just our style.

Out of the gate, we just weren't playing very well. But once we outscored them in the second quarter, I felt pretty good about our chances as long as we played the defense I knew we could.

We lost our point guard to a torn-up knee in the semifinal game. If we had her, we might have had a chance. Who knows?

It never felt quite right to be in a gym and not be coaching. When 1 or 2 p.m came around, I always felt myself being pulled toward the gym.

It was a terrific game - one that was completely different than the 5-on-5 stuff. It was hard to hide somebody when there was only three people on each side of the court. Lots of one-on-one basketball and some pick-and-rolls - that's about it.

It's hard to call the games off when it's lightly snowing. It's not freezing on the streets yet.
