Congratulations to the Rockford College basketball program, team, and staff.

I had an opportunity to watch the Rockford news on Saturday night after the game. One of the teams seniors was interviewed and she stated that: The team stuck together, did things the right way, followed the rules and coach said it was always be worth it....and then she stated "it was DEF worth it". Sometimes, you have to follow the standards set by a coach to be successful. I am also a believer that to get respect, you must give respect. Earlier in posting up-you stated "don't want to play for a short... short... man", Now that sounds like a pretty respectful thing to say, doesn't it? If you or the girls wanted to quit, then maybe you should have quit. A team is usually better off when you cut the cancer. Just because maybe you didn't get the playing time you wanted or had other issues with the team, doesn't mean the coach didn't respect you.
If a coach was having problems with respect/chemistry then there is no way a team would win 21 games, conference, and a bid to the tourney. Just because you have a bitter taste in your mouth because of whatever happened doesn't mean you have to rain on Rockford's parade. It is easy to blame the coach for unhappiness but maybe you should look at yourself. I am sure the girls that stuck it out and pulled together (instead of trying to pull each apart) are happy about playing in the DANCE. Good luck in the tourney!
