Tara VanDerveer Breaks Arm in Practice

 

[ChicagoGG]

That will put a crimp in her piano playing. Ouch!

 

[zakalex]

Her self-deprecating comments sound like something your best friend would say....such a down-to-earth personality for a top level famous coach! Hope she has a problem-free fast recovery!

 

[DobbsRover2]

Some coaches will do anything to keep the opposition intimidated. Now no one is going to be stepping in front of 6'5" Tess Picknell when she's driving for a hoop.

 

[UcMiami]

Neat story!

 

[alexrgct]

Will she be medically cleared to play in the Washington game Friday?

 

[HGN]

Ok Geno..........Let this be a lesson to you. Don't be stepping in front of 6'5 Natalie Butler anytime soon trying to show the team how to take a charge.

Those BIG posts will lay the wood on ya.

 

[OneTrickPony]

Not the best way to convince your players to take a charge...

 

[MilfordHusky]

Heal fast, Coach!

 

[jsloanjr]

We have all dne crazy this looking back and you scratch your head...............Get well soon Tara

 

[JFC613]

Are they able to get her redshirted this year or is it too late? I do wish her a speedy recovery. She's a fab coach and one of the few that can beat us!

What was Tara thinking when she stepped in front of a 6'5 player?

 

[AnotherVolFan]

Awwww... I love Tara! Pray she has a speedy recovery.

Gotta say, I thought Tara was a bit older than 60. Love that she's still mixing it up with players. Just flop coach - don't put a hand down.

Tara is a tree, hence her branches break from time to time. Geno is shorter, an Italian meatball, will just roll.....

Since she's a tree one way to know for sure would be to count her rings.

 

[jcoton56]

Get well soon coach!

 

[Sonny44]

Wow, that's what I call going the distance for your team.

 

[ChicagoGG]

I guess her player executed a tree throw.....

 

[DobbsRover2]

Wow, that's what I call going the distance for your team.

It was only about 5 feet in distance, but if you have a fleshy rump (not necessarily saying she does), it's best to execute a plop-and-roll play on the tokus and keep those fragile wrists tucked in and out of harm's way.
