When we went up to see her play, Kelly needed to work on her skills. She needed to get stronger, needed more experience, and Blair Academy certainly helped her do that.
We don't have a predominant style, and the reason is because we have many different types of players. But when we are 3-15 we are going to give other people some chances to play. The team deserves that.
Our guards need to start playing better this season. That is the key to our success and how we will finish this year. They're going to have to work very hard and Kelly is in that mix.
The Yale game was a bitter pill to swallow. We had plenty of opportunity to beat Yale. The bottom line is that I could probably go over ten to fifteen plays in the second half that clearly would have given us the two other points that we needed for the win.
Cornell is an offensive-minded team that we have to play strongly against.
When you are 2-10 you can't blame the coaching staff for going in a different direction. We played different people ... it was simply strategic and we will do that the rest of the year.
Coming into the year we didn't know what Kelly would give us. What we did find out very quickly was that she was going to work very hard ... and that she was one of the best perimeter shooters we had.
The Brown game was a simple story. We didn't execute well against the press; we didn't finish well against the press; we didn't execute well against Brown's zone. ... Brown was certainly quicker, and they used that quickness to their advantage.
Our ball-handing skills and decision-making ability have to improve. Ultimately, we have to make better decisions. ... And experience is part of that, no question.
We are playing better defense -- the stats will prove that -- but for some reason the zone is not our forte.
