Please post any questions for the Belle Koclane's and David Mclaughlin here if you can't tweet them. I will try to get them out for you.

At the pre-season teleconference, Coach McLaughlin mentioned that the team would be defined by how its opponents defined them (I am paraphrasing, but believe I have the spirit of his comment).

Two months and one conference game into the season, how would he define the team and how does he feel its opponents would define them?

Also, Steve Donahue has mentioned that he puts a lot of emphasis on practice performance when creating his starting lineup. How does Coach McLaughlin determine his starting 5 and his first players off the bench?

Thanks for the request for questions!

For Coach K, probably something along the lines of why she apparently doesn't think (based upon her quotes in the Valley News article) that it's possible for Dartmouth to win the title every other year the way Wielgus did in her glory days.

Looking at the projected starters for the second tilt versus Harvard, this question is poignant and timely.
Looking back, Barry has is proving to be the the best PG we have. So I think your question of what it takes to become starter is a good one. As long as it's clear to the players is what really matter, but it would be nice to know as fans.
