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.

coaching game home last liked staff
We're excited. We really liked it last year, it was beautiful. It's a home game in a way, but it isn't in another way. The coaching staff is approaching it as it is a home game, and we don't have to travel.
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.
begins chance defense easy gave great played rebounds tough
I think we played great defense and that gave us a chance to get a lot of wide-open shots. We got a lot of tough rebounds, a lot of long rebounds and that gave us a chance to get some easy buckets. When you can get the easy shots, everything else just begins to click.
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.
figure goes learn turn
Hopefully, we learn how to turn things around when something goes wrong. We need to make the adjustments. As a coach, I need to be able to figure that out and we need to be ready.
funny lighten tried
I did some funny drawings. I tried to lighten us up a little bit, but that's about it.
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.
blame factor fatigue hard nine period played players playing positive proud reason second smaller solid time using work
I don't think fatigue was a factor in all honesty. I was really proud of our players tonight. I think we played a very solid second half. We went with our two smaller forwards playing for a period of time there. We were down nine and we did a lot of really positive things. In all honesty, if fatigue ever is a factor I'm never using it as an excuse. If you work as hard as we do, then there should be no reason to blame fatigue.
last thinking
I don't think there's a whole lot of thinking about last year.
answer came games knew lost wish won
It's just one of those things in basketball. You wish you knew the answer and you just don't. We just came out flat. I think it was energy. I think games are won and lost by who has more energy, and I thought SBU came out with more of it.
feeling great point team
From the get-go it was a great team effort. Right from the beginning, we just had that feeling of confidence, and everything we did from that point on just had the feeling.
beat conference excuse fall jump line reason team
I don't think that's any reason or excuse for them to jump out on us. I don't think they're a better team than us, but it does fall into line that on any night, any team in our conference can beat any other.
beat coaching concerned maine staff tradition year
I still think Maine is very good. I just think the new coaching staff up there is going through that whole first year thing. I'm not too concerned for Maine, they have the tradition and nothing can beat tradition.
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.
