Over the past two weeks there has been less content on our ABR site. My apologies. I have been preparing the ABR ACC WOMEN’S BASKETBALL PREVIEW.
Each pre-season I found it helpful to write a one-page Pre-Season Opponent Overview. I always felt it helped with early season practices and planning for what we might see.
Here is an example: PRE-SEASON OPPONENT OVERVIEW
With that in mind, and now that everyone is about two weeks into practice, I wanted to provide you with the ABR ACC Women’s Basketball Preview.
The intent is to summarize the 2008-09 season and forecast somethings to expect for 2009-10.
I’d welcome your feedback.
Enjoy…

Every member of a coaching staff, no matter the sport, will tell you one of the most unsettling feelings is being presented with the Monday morning Facebook photos. Student-athletes are becoming more and more savvy, they “lock” their photo’s so we (coaches) can’t get to them. That doesn’t mean that no one can get to them. Unfortunately, it hasn’t changed the behavior just made obtaining the photos more difficult. We all have to work harder to instill the trust and values to improve the decision making of the student-athlete first and help keep our student-athletes safer.
Let’s realize this… college kids to to parties. All of them. Athletes are no different. Even the most dedicated of athletes still go. It’s fun, it’s social, it’s their friends, classmates and peers. Drinking or no drinking, your student-athletes are going to be at parties and potentially in the wrong place at the wrong time at some point during their collegiate career. Athletes at parties is nothing new. What is new is the technology. Technology has put every intoxicated or high athlete on the front page of newspapers and all over the internet. We all saw Michael Phelps.
As coaches, we are going to need to be prepared to help our student-athletes through this. Helping them through it is the key, especially with female athletes. It can not simply be about discipline. Though discipline, responsibility and accountability are necessary, discipline is after the fact. Discipline is a reaction. We need to be proactive, help educate before they are in these situations. Empower our student-athletes to make better decisions. Hopefully, avoid as many situations as possible.

Myles Brand: A legacy of leadership
NCAA President Myles Brand, the first university president to serve as the Association’s chief executive and a champion of academic reform, fiscal responsibility and student-athlete well-being, died Wednesday from pancreatic cancer. Dr. Brand was a tremendous leader who always had the best interest of student-athletes in his mind and one who did a valuable job of steering the entire body in a very positive way. My family and I extend our deepest condolences to Myles Brand’s family – our thoughts are with them during this difficult time.
It would benefit you a great deal to read the legacy of Dr. Brand from the NCAA website.
