Coach Bibbs on what
her mindset was before the game
“I
seriously didn’t come into this game thinking about 400 wins. What I
thought about was our kids coming together and putting two halves
together. We could not fall behind to this team early because they play
so well on the offensive end.”
Bibbs on getting 400
wins at N.C. A&T
“I’m
blessed to be in the business long enough to achieve this I’m glad to
achieve this year at North Carolina A&T, and I’m thrilled this group of
kids gave it to me.”
Bibbs on why she
stayed at historically black colleges and universities
“It’s
not that I haven’t had that opportunity. I’ve had several opportunities
to work with the major schools. I know some coaches don’t like to do it,
but I’ve always accepted a challenge of building a program. It’s never
been about the money for me. It’s about giving kids who may not fit in
those big places, a chance to play and be successful.”
Bibbs on her
recruiting philosophy
“I’ve
always recruited all over the United States and even internationally.
I’ve been blessed to get some great kids, even kids right here in the
state of North Carolina. I’ve basically gotten a lot of things I’ve
wanted because I was willing to go after the things I’ve wanted. I want
the same players all the rest of the schools want. And as long as I have
assistant coaches around me who believe the same thing, then I don’t
think there is any kid out there we can’t get here.”
Aggies guard Amber
Bland on Bibbs’ 400th win
“It
feels good because every time she thinks about her 400th win
my name will be thrown in there. It was great because it wasn’t a team
effort, it was a family effort. We all wanted to win this for her, so it
was like a family coming together to do something special for a family
member.”
Bland on the how the
Aggies style of play after forcing 34 Asheville turnovers
“We
have speed on our team. Coach Bibbs just wants to push up the court. The
way she coaches it fits a lot of players on this team. It lets us create
and use our speed to bother teams.”
