Message: [QUOTE="BillSU, post: 4222361, member: 6809"] We have ourselves a "COACH", but more than that, someone who really is important to the future of Syracuse Women's Basketball the community, alumni and those who will support it. I watched her press conference today and several things impressed me - her record for one, but then her outlook for the future and the women she is going to coach. Starting from a base of Character, Academics, Communication, Basketball. Great traits coming from the mouth and beliefs of our new coach. She embraces the basics of life - "Love it when it's Tough, Love it when it's Great. When you love your job it isn't work. "At the end of the day I am the person looking back at me in the mirror who will judge me knowing what I have done." "I don't know everything. Coach Boeheim has forgotten more than I know about the game. I push people. I remember a poem - I push people to the edge, to the edge and then I push them off and they fly." Summarizing some of her statements about her new team and the individuals who will be the members of Syracuse Womens Basketball team won't be girls. "I coached girls in the eighth grade, they are young women who will be accountable, honest women. They will learn to be on time for a team meeting at 3:30 - if your there at 3:31 you might as well have been five hours late." "They will learn to know me as a coach." As a coach sometimes she becomes unrecognizable, tough, she pushes, sometimes that's good, sometimes bad. But at the end of a practice she'll admit when her work ethic and statements have become overbearing and apologize for it and that's how she grows phenomenal players by showing them that she is a human being and her players learning from it. IMO we have a a coach who is all about winning and that's good, very good and she has the record to prove it. Again, great hire now it's about seeing who she picks to assist her in her career just beginning at SU. [/QUOTE]
