Message: [QUOTE="64Zcode, post: 3552640, member: 10373"] I very much agree with everything stated above, especially the parts about demeaning and negative comments about a player's performance on any given night. Playing on a high-pressure team like UConn WBB leaves them wide open to criticism from anyone with a keyboard and an internet connection. I have always enjoyed watching the games a little more when Molly and Kyla were playing, even if they weren't racking up the points. Had I ever attended a live game I would have been one of the folks chanting Molly's name and going nuts when she scored or assisted with a thread-the-needle pass. I loved watching her game improve her senior year, the fact that she and her teammates did not get a chance to 'finish' the season was a huge disappointment. I've always thought, even before reading the referenced article, that Molly was a person of exceptional character and determination, mostly because throughout her entire time (and this applies to Kyla as well) she never gave up on herself or her team. She did not quit on any aspect of her college experience. There were numerous times this past year when the ball movement and player movement were sluggish and I was wishing that the Coach would have turned to Molly and said "Go. Don't hold anything back, no matter what happens. Just Play". (Probably a very good example of why I don't coach any sports, eh?) I think it might have been very interesting to watch. Like others, I think that Molly is destined to lead a meaningful life and impact the lives of others in a very positive way. I really hope that both Molly and Kyla read the positive comments and take them to heart, I am grateful that I was able to watch them play and learn a little about them from the writers that had the chance to speak with them and pass those interviews on to us. And one last thought - concerning the award for Ultimate Husky - others may win the award but Molly will always the the 1st recipient.....that will never change and no one else will ever be "The 1st". She will always have that distinction. [/QUOTE]
