Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, December 06, 2007

All right, youse guys -- fess up! Who's been spiking the the NYTimes' watercooler. There's yet ANOTHER article on women's basketball. Perhaps someone should check if anti-coverage Tom Jolly has been podded.

This time Viv Bernstein checks in with Duke and new coach McCallie.

McCallie understood the expectations when she took the job. But she brought a record of success with her, having led Michigan State to the championship game in 2005 before the Spartans fell to Baylor. Still, her style of play is different from Goestenkors’s, and the players are still trying to learn the defense McCallie’s teams have been known for.


“It’s been an adjustment,” guard Abby Waner said. “We’ve faced adversity, but then again, what team doesn’t? Every season, there’s always a change.”



Duke will play Rutgers tonight, 7pmET. No TV/streaming, but I will say I listened to the Maryland/RU play-by-play on RU's radio and throughly enjoyed myself. You can also check out WCTC.com.
