While I might have done a dance while singing "Hava Nagila" earlier (before texting [USER=26]@EricLA[/USER] , [USER=1511]@ucbart[/USER] , and others), two things that really struck me about Joanne P. McCallie's statements in the video upon my second viewing:

[LIST=1]
[*]She appeared to infer that because Duke did not offer her a contract extension (and she was, in fact, told by Duke that she would not be receiving one now or at the end of the contract), Duke was responsible for the uncertainty that would follow a coach in her last year of the contract.
[*]She stated that because of the pandemic, the 2019-20 team “has not been fully recognized for the record-setting crescendo to the season.”
[/LIST]
These two statements encapsulate a number of my thoughts and opinions about McCallie and her tenure at Duke.
[LIST]
[*]Not taking responsibility for her actions and failing to acknowledge that certain events are the results of HER conduct/behavior; and
[*]Attempting to glorify mediocrity and insist on praise for “not bad” achievements by referencing them as somehow historic
[/LIST]
