People see these referendums as a way to stop development, and the kids are going to suffer. I'm frustrated with the logic of people who are willing to let kids be pawns in a power struggle between adults.

Kids have a mindset - and a lot of people have a mindset - that you have to have a starting five, and they're supposed to play as much as they can. What we had to understand was if we wanted the starters to finish strong, we had to have that other group play. We had to keep up the pace and tempo to keep the defense continually strong. We had to wear down our opponents.

We will rebuild because it is important to the community that we are here, ... People have not been able to talk to each other or see each other for days. But we are energized and we are telling the world that we will be all right.

We played a great ball team. We had our shots in the end, but lost by three. The kids played hard, stepping up to the occasion. We had our chances at the end. The kids should be proud of themselves.

Hawaii is a lovely place to let your kids run around and leave your door unlocked, but definitely this has been a wake-up call, ... Maybe we need to be more private than we've been.
