McCray article
Nice photo and article about Coach Nikki McCray in today’s (11/9) Pilot. I like her approach. I think the program is in excellent hands.

It was just a fantastic article. I was really impressed with her approach to things at the open practice. This just brings it home a little more. I hope we can keep Nikki for a long time. I think there is potential for her to do big things here.

RE: McCray article
There will be some transfers, kids who don't want to work as hard s she wants them to. And I'm fine with that if/when it happens. I have no inside info.

Terrible would be an upgrade on this current team. Losing 18-33 at halftime to Liberty. Can barely get a shot off. At least 4 shot clock violations in the first half.

Were you at the game. If so, what did you think of the second half ?

It was good to see them show some fight. At least it is something to build on. It looked like the team was going to quit, but they rallied and turned it into a game. It's going to be a long year. Especially in the first half, it looked like they were waiting for Jennie Simms to appear and take a shot for them. Same horrible turnovers and very poor free throw shooting. Liberty was 13-17 last year. Vicky Morris and Kelly Loftus look to be the bright spots on the team.

Main takeaway from this game for me: They made the proper adjustments for the second half, IE. got the ball down into the post, handled the press much better, played with more Passion and Poise, and They Never Gave Up. This team will play better, and even better in the coming years.
