It is amazing how poor a shooting team our girls are from 4 feet or less.

Purcell is a great recruiter, but I?m wondering how great of an on court coach he is.
He is high energy, but you can be too high energy. I wonder if that is part of why our girls play up and down so much.

It's girls basketball. Does it matter? 28 people watch their games

We shot the ball really well tonight, 50%. I was impressed with the intensity and energy level tonight. Florida has decent talent and winning on the road is always good. Gotta give credit to Purcell also, he did a good job getting the team ready and having them play hard.
Btw, Jessica Carter seems to be getting better every game, she was pretty dominating inside.

They did indeed improve the shooting after a lot of in close misses in the first half. But more importantly it looks like Purcell got their attention about there being 4 quarters, not 2.

Yes, the 4th quarter was impressive. Glad to see this and hopefully moving forward we keep it up. We have talent and have a chance to make some noise. When Carter and Jordan get it going like tonight we can be dangerous.

Some people think because they don't care about something then no one cares. They have narcissistic tendencies and tend to only think they are important. If people didn't care, they would not be discussing it.

There's a reason women's sports dont get the support or ratings the men get and it's not misogyny. It's the fact that women dont support it. They are too busy watching Housewives of Beverly Hills, The Kardashians, or Rupaul's Drag show to pay attention to basketball and other women's sports.

Now do a regular Monday night game vs a men's SEC Tuesday or Wednesday game

The women's game is a lot more purer form of basketball because they do indeed have to be shooters and not dunkers, They pass it around more, they set on GO more, and because of emotion, it seems to be played at a higher pitch.
Those girls on both sides last night were fun to watch go up and down the court. They miss more close in shots because they don't have the length or the strength to power up so many times they are rushing the shot in it goes over the basket. Our 5'3" point guard made 2 scoop shots from her waste. The ball has to travel from 3 feet from the ground up to the banking board and into the basket. Men get that close and they usually are 6 inches to the goal or a dunk.
I enjoyed it.

You pretty much nailed it; I coached both boys and girls in high school as well as the college level for a few years. Fundamentals are the same in teaching, but the emotion level is totally different. I will say the last year I coached, I got really distraught with dealing with the HC and her "woke" ways, let's just say strange things happened for the better of my career as I got offered a job outside of Coaching I couldn't refuse. It was hard walking away from a dream/goal I had for wanting to be a HC in college basketball.
I walked away from coaching after 8 years, I almost got back in it a few times only to walk away when money was offered. LOL, sorry for my ramblings! Women are different*

That has nothing to do with your (false) statement that 28 people watch it or your implication that it doesn't matter.
I agree it doesn't get as many viewers as men's basketball, but way more than 28 people watch it. Baseball doesn't get as high of ratings as basketball, but baseball matters too.
We just finished a decade stretch where more people attended girls games than guys games. I personally am not a huge fan, but I watch it and thousands other do as well.

You all go easy on Coach 34.
He just does this at times for clicks 😂

Women are the issue with women sports. Bill Burr sums it up best. Youtube his clip on feminism and the WNBA. It is exactly correct.

Gonna be real interesting to see what happens in the portal next year, I'm betting Purcell will do well. You can see he is a players Coach.
