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 have a lot of pride in this program. No one is happy dropping nine or 10 in a row but we have plenty of opportunity to win these next 15 or so games. That's a lot of basketball left to play.
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 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.
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.
He's going to have a lot of distractions that most rookie league players don't have. But he's really a good-hearted kid.
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.
The only experience we are taking from Princeton -- and it is a broken record for me -- is that we have to play better team defense. We have to help each other wherever the ball is on the floor. We've been giving up way too many baskets.
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.
