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...
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.
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.
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.
confidence create scoring start turned
When we really turned it on defensively and rebounded it really does create more confidence and we start scoring more.
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.
girls great next personnel season single team totally year
That's what so great about team sports. Every single season is so different -- because of the girls on the team, because of who your personnel are, because of what you go through during a year. Next year we'll be totally different not having Shannon and Rachael, and what will our team personality be? We don't know.
against bring good practice team turn whether
And that's what we want, whether we're in practice against each other or we're in a game. I don't think any team is good enough to say 'Now we're going to turn it on.' You just have to bring it everyday.
bit boards control great hit lead offensive run shot took
I thought we had a great run where we took control of the game. I think there was a little bit of a let down when you have a lead at the half, but you have that sometimes. You always like to have a lot of shot attempts, and we hit the offensive boards really well, which is always good.
gave momentum second shot
I thought the shot at the buzzer was big for Katie. Not only for the team, but it gave her momentum like, 'Oh I can do that every time,' which, in the second half, I thought she did.
good
I think we had a very good season. We accomplished a lot of things.
begins chance defense easy gave great played rebounds tough
I think we played great defense and that gave us a chance to get a lot of wide-open shots. We got a lot of tough rebounds, a lot of long rebounds and that gave us a chance to get some easy buckets. When you can get the easy shots, everything else just begins to click.
erase feeling game guts hampshire mad mentally ourselves slip tough winning
I think we just get so mad when we feel that we have let a game slip through our fingers. We like to think of ourselves as a mentally tough team. Winning at Albany doesn't erase the feeling in our guts after the New Hampshire loss. Now we need to win again.
game matter minutes move played stressed thinking
I think we stressed a lot that this was a big game for them to try and move up in the standings. And in all honesty, I keep thinking that we don't have it locked, and no matter what you always want to play well. I think that for 30 minutes of tonight's game we played well.
