There are tire tracks all over those ladies. Don't think I have ever seen a women's coach throw his team under the bus so vehemently and so publicly - even if it may be richly deserved. He has pulled first-team all-conference Omogrosso out of the starting lineup the last 3 games. Her stats this year are terrible - which means she will probably light it up against us.
It will be interesting to see how his team reacts. Will they just quit on him or will they respond?

His Jim Mora moment. I like it. Hes a good coach. Built that program from nothing. He's tired of them phoning it in. They were picked to win the A10 and a potential Top-25 team this year.
On the other hand, if Im Shauna Im telling my team, "they are hearing footsteps. Lets do what we do baby."

I asked Dan about his candor last year he said his players understand his honesty and so do the parents but this is in my humble opinion just going too far - lack of toughness, lack of commitment, ripping Lass and going over and over and over and over on it. I understand his frustrations but coming public like this for 13 minutes I'm just disappointed in that for he and his team. He did single a couple of players out for positive effort neither of them named Libby Bazelak.

This is a coach at the end of his rope trying a different track. It may or may not work, but his/their approach to this point is not working, so you try something else. Kudos to him for having the guts to call it like it is and shake it up before it is too late.

Interesting, and there is a local angle to this with Libby Bazelak (Alter HS) on the roster.

He certainly knows his players and how to motivate them way better than any of us do, but there's a difference between calling out poor effort to try to get a rise out of them and humiliation by re-hashing things over and over. We'll see if it works, or if it just causes further collapse.
If I'm the Duquesne AD, I'm thinking that if this is what you need to do to motivate your players, maybe you're not the right guy for the job anymore...

I won't go that far in terms of Dan not being the right man for the job but this technique I don't approve of.

Geno does this all the time and nobody bats an eye. He told the media Brianna Stewart was a whiny little baby to explain her benching.
Women can take criticism. They are not fragile wall flowers.

I was curious so I checked the Dukes record. They have not lost a game since Coach Burt's "tirade". 5-1 1st place in A10 Looks like he got their attention..

But look at their scores, a four point win at awful La Salle and an eight point win over St. Joseph's don't cure anything plus they still are not playing defense. He brings Omogrosso off the bench now for some odd reason.

Gino may have won a few more games, Championships. If I'm an AD looking for a new coach, Dan Burt just got scratched. I can't imagine a fan base coveting that approach, even if he was right.

Hats off to Coach Burt who may just know more about coaching and his team than the combined knowledge of all of us who stayed at the Holiday Express last night, or think we did.
