So she's turning up the heat. It's hard to imagine how Quinn can blaze any hotter. Never mind that NYU might be up more than 20 points, as they were in a January 16 blasting of Russell Sage College, which ended up a 76-32 laugher. Up to the last moments, Quinn was calling out suggestions, punctuated by insistent clapping. If I'm not as excited in the last two minutes as I am in the first, I'm done.
Practices are no different.
Give me 10. And Pearson goes down for push-ups the first of a dozen sets she'll pump out that afternoon. Never mind the meager turnout at some games at the Russell Sage contest, dozens of guys came out of the adjoining gym to watch the navel-pierced NYU Purple and White Dance Team at halftime and then returned to their bench presses when the game resumed. And forget that there are no athletic scholarships here. It's just that their academic pursuits are equally important, and understanding that even emphasizing that players say, is part of what makes Quinn such a good coach.
