Starting the season with a bang

Also, at the risk of sounding sexist and I don't mean to be, I've worked with women partners and have found that male coaches will often say things to them during a game that they wouldn't dare say to me or another man. The F U quote for her came at an 8th grade girl's Catholic Jr. High district champioship. He also bumped her when he was saying it. She's 5'3 - 120. I'm 6'1 - 215. He'd have never done that to a male referee. We made sure he was written up for the incident.

Sara, Refnrev is right and so's Christina (cingram). Women do have to prove themselves over and over and over again, even with women coaches sometimes. But keep remembering that old saying that our mothers had hanging on their refrigerators, and later in their cubicles, and now it's framed and hanging in the corner offices. "Unfortunately, women have to be twice as good as men to get the same rewards. Fortunately, this isn't difficult."
