[QUOTE="Illini by Proxy, post: 1130662"] Some of what Gleason said was kinda insulting. He is trying to convince people that she was lumped in with the black players because her game was like a black player. So.... what's that supposed to mean?!? What defines a black player's style of play?? You make a behind the back pass and now you are black? I always amuses me when white people use the race card when it works to their benefit. There also is an underlying tone in the allegations that because the majority of the starters are white that the black players were being treated unfairly because there could be NO way there are 4 white players (sometimes 3) better than the black players on the bench. Anyone who thinks a coach recruits players to not play them for anything other than their ability to help win games is delusional. The rest of his claims are ridiculous stuff like coach changed her shot 3 times. First of all this is completely irrelevant to any abuse claims. You have a parent that knows more than the big 10 coach that sees her everyday and is trying to win games. Anyone involved in sports see this type of parent ALL the time. [/QUOTE]
