January, 2000 "It’s emotionally charged on both sides. We had a second roster put together in case this happened."— U.S. Women’s National Coach Tony DiCicco said about the boycott by veteran U.S. players over U.S. Soccer contracts when the roster was announced for the Australia Cup in January. ••••••• "The real issue is fairness. We are professionals....Some of us have families. We hoped that U.S. Soccer would have recognized those facts along with our accomplishments."— USA’s Mia Hamm on the conflict with U.S. Soccer over a new contract for the women’s national team. ••••••• "Clive Charles is the leading candidate for the job. I didn’t want to compete with Clive. In my heart, I know he’s the best candidate for the job."— U.S. U17 national coach John Ellinger in a Baltimore Sun article about why he didn’t interview in December for the U.S. women’s national team coaching position. ••••••• "It makes the victory even sweeter going against the run of talent, which I felt we did this year, because I genuinely felt on paper we had the third best team. But I knew because of the nature of our game and with hard work, that we could compete for a national championship."— North Carolina coach Anson Dorrance after his Tar Heels beat Notre Dame 2-0 for their 15th NCAA championship. ••••••• "I thought this would be lucky seven for us, but it was unlucky seven."— Santa Clara women’s coach Jerry Smith after his top-ranked Broncos were eliminated for the seventh time in the NCAA semifinals (by Notre Dame 1-0). ••••••• "Two years ago was a bitter pill when I thought certainly we had the best team in the nation, and they (UCLA) found a way to defeat us. To win that (‘99 semifinal in OTs) gives special sauce to the championship."— Indiana coach Jerry Yeagley on beating UCLA and winning ‘99 NCAA championship. ••••••• "I’m pretty shocked I won because I didn’t think I was as well-known as some of these other guys."— Duke junior Ali Curtis after being named winner of the men’s Hermann Trophy. |
