Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Friday, November 11, 2005

Pre-season All-Americans Cappie and Currie discuss their decision to return to college ball rather than turning pro.

Duke coach Gail Goestenkors on Currie's decision: ""It made her teammates feel so good that she was committed to them, to the program, to our common goal."

Cappie on her own decision: "I want to prove not just to everybody else, but to myself, I am the best player in the country. We haven't really reached that national prominence yet like Seimone Augustus."

Seimone has been working on her three-point shot; her coach at LSU has been dealing with bigger problems-- during and after Hurricane Katrina, FEMA turned LSU's locker room into a triage space.

Coach Chatman: "Any time you heard helicopters land, you knew something was happening. Babies were being born over there. There were people dying...I'm glad I coach, because so much of coaching is dealing with things head-on. You want to lay down and take a nap, but you can't."
