What's happening on the women's side at Maryville? Coach Bell has signed I think 4 new players. Any word on any of the new recruits and how they might fit in? Nobody talking or posting on the women's board. Anyone got any info excluding the press releases?

[mattgrubb]

don't know too much about the individuals, but do know what Dee has to say about he pic in general,

He is excited about them and he feels his recruits will fill the gaps he had this year and what he is losing, he seems real excited about his chances for next year, which normally he is very pesimistic on season outlooks so, take that for what it is worth

By the way here is a famous quote from Dee Bell, "If you want to win, come to maryville"

[wilburt]

So that's where that quote came from...

Funny how the emphasis is on winning!

 

[mattgrubb]

Wilburt,
what is your emphasis losing? or is participation the key, b/c if so my YMCA team participates like champions

I love this board when it gets heated up.

Grubb did u mean to say YWCA team cause im pretty sure that the fellas on your team dont play like men.  Especially that Watts guy.

Glad you asked Mr. Grubb.  I adhere to the John Wooden philosophy when it comes to "winning."  He never talked to his teams/players about being better than the next team or winning games (And that man won 88 games in a row at one time). Coach Wooden always talked to his team about being the best that they could be.  That meant executing what they had practiced during the game.

Now I know this is a subtle distinction that many may not get at first glance, but I find it an important one.  Coach Wooden was more concerned with his UCLA teams reaching their full potential year in and year out rather than focusing on other teams.  IMHO, teams that overemphasize winning as their ultimate goal are potentially vulnerable to taking short cuts to achieving that goal.  (Take a look at how many D1 programs are on NCAA probation). I am not by any means suggesting that Maryville has or is doing that.  All I'm saying is that IMHO that is potentially dangerous territory to tread on when winning is THE ONLY GOAL...

I completely agree with you wilburt and again i agree with you
You are truly the renaissance man

I think maryville has fallen in that trap and i look at it like dating girls, you can't worry about what they do, you can only worry about yourself and make sure that you have your game on lock

Oh Yeah,
Are you ready for the summer workouts?

[wilburt]

I completely agree with you wilburt and again i agree with you

I was shooting at the college for about an hour the other day.  When i entered Boydson Baird Q was shooting in there.  He had obviously been in there a long time.  When I left he was still shooting.  That is MC dedication

[ohyeah]

Grubb I cant wait for summer workouts.  I cant wait for Bobby to treat me like a Krispy Kreme doughnut.  Im so excieted.  Speaking of doughnuts, I think I have gained 25 pounds this spring.

[Spencer Beaty]

How does Bobby treat you like a doughnut ohyeah?  Im kinda confused about that.
