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. When four players left the team and gave up their $60,000 per year scholarships in 2014, an internal investigation concluded that "the manner in which Coach Greenberg interacted with many of her players was incompatible with the expectations and standards...
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.
graduation last move nice players shoot star stepped
She's really stepped up with the graduation of their star players from last season. She has a real nice step back move and can shoot out the three. She's really a player that, as a sophomore, has become their leader.
against definitely early finding great huge played player though
She played a great game. I thought Erica was definitely the player of the game. Early on when we scored against their zone, I think she was the one who made it happen, finding the seams in the zone, and I though she played huge for us.
hard people played save smart specific
Obviously, Rachael has played a lot of minutes. We want to play people a lot of minutes. We're not going to save people for a specific game. We just have to be smart with our off days. Even at practice, we need to be smart with how hard we go, how long we go.
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.
aggressive few girls normally took whistles
They really took a few of our girls out of the game. And I thought that we were just being aggressive, no more aggressive than we normally are. All of the whistles just went the other way.
physical smart team
They're a very physical team, especially on the inside, and I don't think of our forwards as very physical, so that will be a challenge. They're also a very hard-working team and they play very well at home. We're going to have to play hard, we're going to have to play smart and we're going to have to make some shots.
coaching game home last liked staff
We're excited. We really liked it last year, it was beautiful. It's a home game in a way, but it isn't in another way. The coaching staff is approaching it as it is a home game, and we don't have to travel.
coming commit foul hit knew open ourselves shooter until
We knew who their shooter was and we didn't even let her hit a 3 until the very end. Our thought coming in was, 'Don't even let her get an open 3.' We commit ourselves to a lot of pressure, but let's not foul when we're doing it.
happy respond smart
We're not happy with this game, we're pretty down about it right now. I think we think things are going to go our way and when they don't we don't respond well. We may not be as big as some of those teams, but we are smart and we know how to play smart defense, but we didn't do that tonight.
figure five game inside looked minutes none strange took turn
In the first five minutes of the game we looked great. Then it took a strange turn and none of us could really figure out how it happened. Their inside game really killed us.
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.
