Poor Jose

I've never learn more about a coach and watched them develop as much as Jose Fernandez has this season. He'll look back on the season and not remember the pains as much, because it's where he learned to coach like a champion. 

Our ladies should not be anywhere close in these games. Yet they show up every night adjusted as well as you could expect, and have even pulled some these games out.  That level of detail will serve this program well going forward. 

Would I be correct in assuming that you haven’t been watching USF WBB very long?

You have to keep in mind that we basically had an assembly line of talent going. Jose has a tendency of playing  his top 7 all game every game, so the younger girls sat and learned how to play the game in America the first year with very limited minutes plus getting their conditioning up to play here. Kit and Laura also had the benefit of playing alongside Courtney Williams and Alisia Jenkins, which made their job easier as they were given specific responsibilities and not asked to do everything. 

Have you  ever looked at the percentages of Jose’s foreign players who have missed entire seasons unable to play because of injuries? Right now,  there’s a player sitting on the bench for the second straight year without playing in a single game for the green and gold, because of injuries incurred playing for her national team.  This is nothing new.

I bet the next three years will be great.

What’s your criteria for a great season?

You'd be making an ass of yourself. My bloodlines run strong in the Bulls Women's Basketball program.

OK, with so much of your blood in the program, please tell us how Jose’s coaching changed/improved this year vs his previous 18 years?

If Kit had only been pulled from the game halfway through the 3rd period when we were already up by 30 points... woulda, coulda, shoulda. Ugh...

The Butterfly Effect on this one would have been fascinating. Would any of the other injuries we sustained have occurred? Laura's absence has been reported as illness related, but maybe she could play if she had to, but has decided not to for her health since Kit isn't there.

It would have led to MBB only winning 5 games to this point....

And Horne tore his in practice.  Unfortunately these things happen. I can't put this on Jose.  Early in the year and trying to build chemistry with some Fr in the lineup.

Don't think that's the case.
