That is a GREAT rant. She's speaking nothing but the truth.

"You can't nap your way to being a great shooter"

"Women's basketball can you hear me? ... We got people throwing the ball over the basket. Nobody wants to watch that. I DONT!"

The sport needs this rant.


I'm tweeting this to Dawn. Maybe she'll show the team.

Preach Bobbie preach! And I need an amen from another 500 WBB coaches.

 

[cockhrnleghrn]

It applies in every area, not just basketball. It's so true.

Preach!!!


And as someone who teaches at the college level, kids today are tethered to their cell phones. I ask my class for 2 hours 3 x per week to leave their phones in their backpacks and out of sight..

Such a simple concept but inevitably have one student each class that can't. I usually get the same excuse "I didn't realize I had it"

Students are on them so much they don't realize that they are looking at it.

When I dismiss class all 25 reach for their phones. I just laugh at them.

Great rant - absolutely great!!!!!!

 

[jcoton56]

AMEN

 

[Ukonnfan]

Good job coach. Done well.

Amen! Somebody call Tennessee... I just found their new coach! J/K they can keep Holly...

Lol... I appreciate the rant... especially from a coach with her record.

She has the mindset... and if there is a will there is a way. I'm sure there is at least one kid out there that heard or saw this and might not be great but would play for this woman because she "gets it".

Wisconsin has played a tough schedule in a tough conference. Maybe her record sucks because her players don't spend enough time in the gym.

Great find!
And while we call it a rant, I loved her calmness in delivering it. Not yelling, not calling out anyone in particular, just a calm, passionate statement of 'facts'.

And an interesting resume - last stop as an assistant to Tara at Stanford, and as a player on the 1992 championship team and a two year team captain.

WOW!!!.....WCBB is very difficult to watch most games. Even UCONN The other teams are so bad and have zero idea what to do or how to score...The WCBB game's BB IQ is very low and we need more coaches who are not afraid to get in peoples faces including the AD and Presidents....GO Wisc.

 

[Beemer]

Terrific and true.

I've said this before but I think it bears repeating- young players (male & female) don't have the fundamentals that previous generations did. That's not entirely their fault, fundamentals have to be taught and reinforced & IMO they aren't, not to the extent they should be.

Her fellow coaches should take her comments to heart. Women's college basketball is fast becoming as unwatchable as the men's game. And don't get me started on the NBA....

Another interesting item is that the story about Nebraska's victory that has a link indicates that Michala Johnson had 21 points in the loss.

Next big time program with an opening should have her on speed dial.

Oh man, the Warriors and the Spurs would beg to differ. That is some goooooood basketball that those teams are playing. Overall I find the NBA much more watchable than it was 10 years ago.

She's a Stanford graduate? I'm hoping against hope, then, that her terrible grammar is an affect.

 

[SCGamecock]

Don't make the mistake of associating dialect or vernacular with intelligence.

 

[Ozimoto]

Good point.

 

[Gus Mahler]

Who are the two players she refers to at the end? Romeo and Bauman?

lol. look at her resume...
