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.
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.
against good hurt issue maine
Maine has good size. They're big and that's what hurt us against New Hampshire. I don't want to say it's going to be a problem, but it's going to be an issue for us.
assistants attention checking game pay scores until
My assistants pay a lot of attention to that stuff, checking scores during the game and things like that. But I don't even know what the standings are. I know that it's going to be a dogfight until the end.
erase feeling game guts hampshire mad mentally ourselves slip tough winning
I think we just get so mad when we feel that we have let a game slip through our fingers. We like to think of ourselves as a mentally tough team. Winning at Albany doesn't erase the feeling in our guts after the New Hampshire loss. Now we need to win again.
along example goes great katie leads pride steady takes whereas
Katie leads by example and is very different from Rachael. Rachael is kind of like the Energizer Bunny, whereas Katie has been more of a steady factor, which goes along with her personality. Anything Katie does, Katie does well and she takes great pride in that.
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.
nice ready
We know that UNH is good. They had a really nice non-conference run. And we'll be ready for them.
concerned free inside line paint points presence throw
We put them on the free throw line way too much, and we fouled too much. Their inside presence concerned us a lot and points in the paint killed us.
happy respond smart
We're not happy with this game, we're pretty down about it right now. I think we think things are going to go our way and when they don't we don't respond well. We may not be as big as some of those teams, but we are smart and we know how to play smart defense, but we didn't do that tonight.
