I remember the last thing I said to Kobe when we spoke last month. I thanked him for being such an inspirational role model for my team & thanked him for being a great dad—that was his highest honor. I’m gonna miss him.
About 20% of all NCAA Division 1 women’s basketball possessions end in turnover. (We led nation at 12.5 TO%) Number 1 reason for TO’s: Passing & Catching. WE FOCUS ON IT DURING EVERY DRILL/SCRIMMAGE, even if just during a 1-minute warmup #FundamentalsMatter
I can’t help but think of last year’s @OregonWBB team as @ArizonaWBB & @StanfordWBB tip today. There is no doubt in my mind, we would have won the Nat’l championship making this season back-to-back @pac12 Nattys. It will forever leave a hole in my heart. ❤️that team forever💚💛
We led nation in true shooting % last season at 57.6%. Why?
1)We recruit shooters, regardless of position🏀
2)We shoot game shots at game speed a lot in practice🏀
3)We execute well & get good shots in games🏀
4)Our players understand shot selection & who should be shooting🏀
WOW!! What an amazing night! A big thank you to the 11,500 fans who came out for an exhibition. It was such an honor to play @usabasketball and I was proud of our team’s heart & fight. As special as this was, it’s on to the next! See you Monday, Go Ducks!💚💛
What an amazing way to finish off a 5 day, 3-game road trip—a memorable win in Gampel Pavilion vs UConn. Proud that my team played w/ heart, toughness, confidence, poise & most of all great execution. Thankful for the Duck support who came out & those watching elsewhere #GoDucks
These young student-athletes have a powerful voice. So proud that my team, as well as others, stood up, voiced a wrong & were instrumental in making change!
