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.

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.
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.
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.
coaching double four girls happy key players score staff sure team
All of the girls on the team know that they can score and that they can rebound. The key for us is to make sure that they can do that consistently and play the way they are capable. You're very happy as a coaching staff when you have four players in double figures.
attacked forced gave giving great sat took whatever
Rachael was awesome. Sometimes she attacked a little bit, and sometimes she sat back and took what they were giving her. From 3 she did a great job. She never forced anything, but whatever they gave her she took.
focus last playing run strong
We just want to really focus in on this last run here. We want to be really strong and playing well going into the tournament.
court eight full game lots man minutes played rest start stayed
We played full court man-to-man to start the game with lots of pressure. With about eight minutes left, we went back to half-court man and stayed that way for the rest of the game.
beat coaching concerned maine staff tradition year
I still think Maine is very good. I just think the new coaching staff up there is going through that whole first year thing. I'm not too concerned for Maine, they have the tradition and nothing can beat tradition.
bring brought energy great key turn
I thought it was a great game. I thought we brought great energy. When we bring energy we can play with anyone, but the key is that we can't turn it on and off, we have to have it on all the time.
drown focus ready sorrows undefeated upset
We need to keep focus on what we're doing. We're not going to be an undefeated team, so we can't get upset over every loss. We can't drown our sorrows in that. We just need to come ready to play.
nice ready
We know that UNH is good. They had a really nice non-conference run. And we'll be ready for them.
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.
funny lighten tried
I did some funny drawings. I tried to lighten us up a little bit, but that's about it.
bringing caught effort energy previous sure talk vermont year
I don't get too caught up in what the previous year did or all the numbers. You talk about the things you can control, and going up to Vermont and bringing your 'A' effort and 'A' energy is what we have to do. We need to make sure we go in and do some damage.
