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...
funny lighten tried
I did some funny drawings. I tried to lighten us up a little bit, but that's about it.
bounce game hard lucky players playing presence question talking team
I never ever question the team playing hard. I know I'm very lucky that I have 14 players that play hard all the time, but I think we just weren't talking and we didn't have that bounce in our step. I think if you come out and make yourself know and want to have a presence you have to talk, and that part of our game we didn't bring.
anxious days hopefully
They've had a lot of days off now and they're very anxious to get back on the court. Hopefully we'll have them on Sunday.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
defense expected great hitting killer media open played shoot shot
No one expected her to shoot it, not at all. We played great defense and then it was kind of like nothing else was open and it just went in. Even all of the media up here were shocked. She had her night, she was hitting everything. It was a killer shot for us.
