In response to Mike Porter

As you have pointed out, a coach simply does not take any chances even with a 28 pt lead entering the 4th quarter and Banghart did exactly the right thing by making sure that the Tiger players kept their intensity on defense and rebounding. She also decided to hold onto the ball and let the clock tick off which minimized the blowout as the Tigers scored only 8 points in the 4th quarter after average 19 pts thru the first 3 quarters. She tried to sub the bench in at the 2 minute mark but play continued on until an out of bounds play with 1 minute left.

Banghart has obviously been extremely successful and part of it is managing the game smartly. She obviously had the Tigers prepared to play from the opening whistle yesterday to take out the crowd and the homecourt.

There is a reason why the Tigers are projected as a #12 seed for the Tournament.

Finally, the players give her a huge thumbs up as to environment that she has built. Will she stay as she has and will get other opportunities. With Alarie at Princeton for two more years, she may well stay for at least 2 years.
