I spent 20-some years here battling the same things, whether or not we could get treated equally. “Throughout the country, women’s coaches have battled to try to get what coaches feel are things that I need to be successful. There’s a big picture there that for a lot of coaches in women’s sports, not just women’s basketball, that work just as hard as any other coach in America, and are successful and are doing an incredible job, and they’re doing it with the resources that you would say are less than adequate relative to what the men might have. And that’s at every school. “I don’t think [the NCAA Tournament bubble in San Antonio is] doing anything that you would say, ‘wow, that’s just completely out of the ordinary.’ It just follows with kind of the way things are, the way they’ve always been.” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.courant.com/sports/uconn-womens-basketball/hc-sp-uconn-women-tournament-20210320-20210320-ufqaqzdwgre3zpq74p5o4o5b4i-story.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=UConn%20Alerts%20-%20Don%27t%20Miss&utm_content=6011616200812#nws=true[/URL] CD: “I try to balance it with our players where, you’ve worked hard and you’ve earned this, and is it fair? No. But that can’t keep you from moving forward and presenting it to the public and giving it a platform that for somebody — it might not be you, it might be somebody after you — that’s going to benefit more. But that’s part of being a woman, and being in sports, and taking a stand and making a statement so that it may not always help you, but it’s certainly going to help someone that comes after you.” [/QUOTE]
