Kelly Greenberg
Kelly Greenbergwas the Boston University Women's Basketball Head Coachuntil she resigned in 2014 amid charges of abusing players. Allegations that she mistreated players first surfaced in 2007 when the coach admitted she made some serious mistakes that she deeply regretted.

assistants attention checking game pay scores until
My assistants pay a lot of attention to that stuff, checking scores during the game and things like that. But I don't even know what the standings are. I know that it's going to be a dogfight until the end.
against good hurt issue maine
Maine has good size. They're big and that's what hurt us against New Hampshire. I don't want to say it's going to be a problem, but it's going to be an issue for us.
players
When we play with energy, we can play with anyone. I don't need to get our players up. They're self-motivated and they should be. We just know that we need to go in there and play our game.
bring definitely game good learned loss prepared single
We know that every single game we play is going to be tough. We definitely can't take anything for granted. I really think that's what we learned from the Stony Brook game. We have to not only be prepared but we have to bring it. If you have a loss and you can learn from it, that's a good loss.
defensive focus miss rebound
We need to focus on the things we can control. We know we're going to miss shots, but we have to rebound and we have to get defensive stops, and we just didn't do that tonight.
abundance control fire good great played players pleased soon walked
We were very pleased with the way the team, players one through 14, played Saturday. Just as soon as we walked into Vermont's gym, there was this abundance of energy. It was great to see them come out on fire after halftime. I just thought we had good control of this game.
concerned free inside line paint points presence throw
We put them on the free throw line way too much, and we fouled too much. Their inside presence concerned us a lot and points in the paint killed us.
believe ourselves
We believe in ourselves and we believe in what we're doing.
care focusing girls goals locker room striving taking three walked
I walked in the locker room and the girls said, 'We're 3-0 right now in the new season,' and that's our thing - we have three more games, we're taking care of business. We have goals that we're focusing on defensively and offensively, and the girls are really striving for that. I think it's narrowed in our focus a little bit.
brought energy great half holding played points team
It was a great team effort. We brought great energy and we played very unselfishly. Us holding them to 23 points in the first half was huge.
came entire experience game great happening loud players sat signed together worked
It was a great experience and great for our players. It was loud the entire time, even when nothing was happening in the game. After the game our players came out and sat with them, joked around and signed autographs. Everyone who worked to put it together did a great job.
burst came canada chance family game great head hitting night people senior values
It was one of those against-all-odds things. Not many people would have played, because there is a chance of hitting her head and having the stitches burst open, but Rachael said that she wanted to play. She's a senior so she values every game and her family came down from Canada to watch. It was a great night for them.
answer came games knew lost wish won
It's just one of those things in basketball. You wish you knew the answer and you just don't. We just came out flat. I think it was energy. I think games are won and lost by who has more energy, and I thought SBU came out with more of it.
forward games looking maine past played playing schools since team
It's a little strange, because other schools and even our men's team already know who they're facing, and we're still playing games. But it's been so long since we've played Maine or Hartford that we're really looking forward to it. We're not looking past these games at all.
