Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better

Conference call transcript from Eastern Conference coaches. Trudi Lacey suggests that McCarville won't be playing very much.
It is quite a transition in our league. Every day you have to go to battle, whether it’s in practice or in a game. That’s an adjustment for her. Also, the professional game is played two or three seconds faster than the college games. The moves and some of the passes that you can make in college, you’re not able to make them in this league. So Janel right now, is working on how to play at that pace and have some success.

Right now I do see her getting adequate minutes off the bench. As you know we have some veteran players that we acquired. I think it’s a good situation for her because she doesn’t have to feel that pressure to perform or to carry us. We have enough veterans around her so that she can adjust to the WNBA at her own pace.
