In response to mbaprof
of course she was "one of ours" and knows the magic of the palestra
Koclanes began her college coaching career with four seasons at the University of Pennsylvania, which hosts the Ivy tournament in the Palestra, its legendary 91-year old arena. The coach’s smile grew when asked what playing there in March would do for her program.
“That’s the cathedral of college basketball, and I’ve been to many games there, men’s and women’s, where it’s so crowded you can’t move,†Koclanes said. “I want my players to experience what that’s like, because it’s an amazing environment.â€
This could be her last chance to get there. You have to think that she's on the hot seat.
Dartmouth has shown some good improvement this season. Our strong OOC performance might give Koclanes another year if she narrowly misses the tournament this season. But... she'll be doing herself a great favor by qualifying.
