I had house guests so no sound for the game. I saw an ECU player crying on the bench. Did the announcers know why ?
I'm not sure why she was crying but I was very impressed with how the very "young" coach handled it.I think that was sophomore Lashonda Monk. After a win over a decent Tulane team, she was probably devastated by the drubbing her team got tonight. Most D1 starters were all-something in high school, used to winning, and getting overpowered will never be comfortable for them.
ECU had only seen 2 teams in the Massey Top 100 all year and the best was Central Florida. I'm sure last night was a shock to the senses.
Next, they should try a 60 point loss to UConn (that could've been 80) in the Sweet Sixteen. That'll focus you on what you need to fix.
Especially when there is an actual game going on, on the court. One of my many pet peeves.One could almost sense a game of this nature eventually occurring, especially the way UConn looked the last two games and frankly prior games also. My heart went out to that player after seeing that. Just a side comment, why do cameras always tend to stay focused on players that are suffering on the bench?

I only knew she was young because Meg made a comment that she was born when Geno was in his 3 year of coaching at UCONN which would make her 31 or 32.
Have to disagree. It was part of the broadcast. I have a tendency to pay attention to what I'm watching. When I see a player crying I wonder why. Kia Nurse once cried after coming out of a game and both CD and Geno later commented on it.I cannot understand why discussion of a player of an opposing team is crying on her bench is taking place. Frankly, it is none of our business. Or maybe we should discuss "why do players cry?"

I agree with veryolddog, not sure why we should care about her crying. BUT Coco is correct they made a deal about it on the broadcast. Don't think they should have, but they did.Have to disagree.

Or this:
Or "yeah, it's cuz I get to coach kids like them".
Disgraceful showing stuff like that!
Sorry. When my Mets won in '69 and the Cubs finally won in 2016, I cried.Sports can be an emotional roller coaster. When you win it feels like you’re sitting on top of the world. But losing hurts, and losing big hurts a lot.
I know “There’s no crying in baseball.” But WBB is another story.
You must go way back.Send a memo to DNY, ESPN, CBS Sports Network, Fox Sports E, W, N, S, SW etc etc: Thou shall not put the camera on a player writhing in pain on the floor, or having her knee worked on with 4 minutes to go in the NCAA championship game, or if she's Skylar Diggins and is crying at the end of the bench, or etc etc etc. Or if she's Stacey Dales and she just fouled out (thanks DT) of the Championship and she's crying under a towel. I could go on and on.
