Head WBB Coach at Iona University, the 2022-23 MAAC Regular Season and Tournament Champions. Proud mother of two boys & a very lucky wife . Urodzona w Polsce!
New Rochelle, NY
Joined May 2011
Here are my top 3 thoughts after this weekend: . 1. Coaches: avoid zone - we want to see playersโ ability to defend in man. Help us evaluate YOUR players better. 2. Players w/potential: you want us to take a chance on you? Play TOUGH & HARD ALL THE TIME. Lazy potential.

@TheTennisLetter Stop with the negativity. Sheโs 22 and already accomplished more than all of us combined commenting here in 5 lifetimes. We are all a work in progress and you better believe she will learn from yesterdayโs loss. She now needs to be able to enjoy what she has accomplished.

Donโt believe everything you read. If I told you just now that I had a fight w/my husband and that he was wrong and I was rightโฆyouโd probably think he did me wrong right from the start. Hold your opinion before you know the whole story.

๐๐ป๐๐ป .Imho, this happens in a menโs game and itโs a NON STORY period. Letโs leave it for what it is- a moment of celebration with a team.
Shame on anybody who tries to make Adia Barnes apologize for telling the skeptics to F themselves. Thatโs a great moment.

Beautiful morning! Last day in AC! Saw lots of good basketball this weekend! .Players remember as much as you think scoring gets you scholarships- it does not. Be a good teammate-play hard CONSISTENTLY - be vocal - OWN something. What do you want coaches to remember you for?.

It is with a heavy heart, that we share the sad news that Coach Sonia lost her battle with cancer on Friday, July 16th. As many of you know she has been fighting courageously this past year. We are at loss for words after losing such a major part of our family. โฅ๏ธ
