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...
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.
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.
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.
game good kicked last next year
I always say that we're as good as our last game and we're as good as our next game. Every game is so important. We went down to their place last year and they kicked our butts. They killed us.
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.
along example goes great katie leads pride steady takes whereas
Katie leads by example and is very different from Rachael. Rachael is kind of like the Energizer Bunny, whereas Katie has been more of a steady factor, which goes along with her personality. Anything Katie does, Katie does well and she takes great pride in that.
figure goes learn turn
Hopefully, we learn how to turn things around when something goes wrong. We need to make the adjustments. As a coach, I need to be able to figure that out and we need to be ready.
feeling great point team
From the get-go it was a great team effort. Right from the beginning, we just had that feeling of confidence, and everything we did from that point on just had the feeling.
