Following today’s introductory press conference with Joanna Bernabei-McNamee, BC Interruption (and me in particular) feels even more excited about the new women’s basketball coach. Coach McNamee seems to understand BC’s culture and is clearly motivated to turn this program around.
Right off the bat, Bernabei-McNamee mentioned 3 areas she wants to work on with the currents players: conditioning, rebounding, and perseverance. As I’ve been saying all year, this team is full of women with rough talent but they need a coach that can get them in shape and strengthen their fundamentals. Taylor Ortlepp, Georgia Pineau, and Milan Bolden-Morris in particular could be really strong players with a coach that works them hard and holds them accountable.
