Chattanooga Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at Wofford
Johnson Arena - Spartanburg, S.C.
Thursday – Jan. 26, 2017

Head Coach Jim Foster:
Opening thoughts on the game:
"(Wofford) did a good job in preparation for the zone we play, and we were a step slow getting there.  Their execution was terrific, so we went man and started to grind.  In the second half, Chelsey got up on the ball and we are a lot more aggressive that way.  It was just a big difference with pressure on them. 

"In the first quarter, there was not a hand in their face and they shoot 53%.  A lot of people are going to be good shooters in that situation.  Once we got up and got at them, good things started happening." 

On sharing the ball:
"When we move the ball, we are a good basketball team.  At the start of the game we inexplicably played like we did against Greensboro where we were walking the ball up the court.  I think Chelsey just has that tendency.  I am not sure when, but we will get it out of her before the season is over.  Once she understood that we wanted play at that tempo and once she understood what we meant by pressuring the ball, she player terrifically.  She had a very good game." 

On Wofford's improvement:
"Since I have been here, we have brought in a lot of good coaches.  Either new teams coming into the league, or new hires, the quality of coaching is terrific.  I told them after the game, this a heck of a lot more fun.  Coaches, players, knowing that every night you have to play.  Instead of having to constantly motivate and tell them you have to be ready. 

"The fact that we played the schedule we played and we know how to go hard, I think that is paying dividends.  The team that comes out of this league should be better at the end of the year."
