Why so dramatic. It's not the first time a player was benched for disciplinary reasons. May have been late for a practice or broke curfew last night. Mad Kiki and BCM missed playing in games for minor offenses.So, Staley said that Rivers did not play because of a Coaches decision??? She's usually the 2nd or 3rd sometimes even the 1st of the bench - and now in a 1st round game your up by 50 points, everyone else plays but she does not. Yeah, right that don't sound right, something is going on. Don't be surprised if the younging transfers.
Women's basketball is hard to watch to start with sometimes, and even worse when the talent gap is so wide between the 2 teams. I don't ever remember seeing any men's team score 8 points in 3 quarters, even bad teams against the #1 seed. Interest will pick up when the handful of good team start playing each other. The women's tournament should probably be 8 team, 16 at the most.
The opening line on the game was SC - 47.5. What did you expect by way of discussion? I didn’t even watch the game after the first quarter.
That's what I'm thinking as well. She seemed to be cheering with the rest of the bench so it didn't appear she looked mad or pouting about it. Kids makes mistakes and consequences need to occur. I wouldn't assume transfer considering how much Dawn has spoken highly of her despite her not having the season we expected.
No drama. Just going off Staley's past interviews. "I didn't want to lose Rivers and we were going to lose her, so I had to change how I coached her". Not verbatim - but you get the drift.
