Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3600970, member: 26"] Excellent post. I especially wanted to highlight the part of your post I bolded. For your first observation, I recall her constantly blaming poor results on injuries, or other things that were "beyond her control". She was never able to play the hand she was dealt without a bunch of excuses. But I really liked the second part of your thoughts - I do have to admit - the team REALLY surprised me the lats month or so of the season - they really came on gangbusters. perhaps it was in part due to playing more man to man instead of 100% zone defense, or perhaps it was a combo of many other things. The only thing I really will miss about her (actually 3 things). [LIST=1] [*]Her continued insistence on referring to opposing players by their numbers, not their names. I don't know how many other coaches do that, but I found it annoying and really did not understand the purpose of it (or maybe I did and just found it silly) [*]After almost EVERY loss, there were always comments about "lessons learned". You would think after 13 or so years at Duke, she would shelve that tired old phrase [*]Her constantly referring to herself as "Coach P". Never understood the Joanne P McCallie whenever someone used her name, or why she insisted on being called Coach P. I'm sure there is a reason, I don't really care. It was dumb. [/LIST] By the way Barry, I found a picture of you doing the Hava Nagila. Which one are you?! :p [ATTACH type="full" alt="1593740826847.png"]56099[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
