As the freshmen began to understand the team dynamic, they also noticed a cultural clash between the team and its new coach.

Several players considered Hanson controlling, with rules such as family time policy and a curfew on road trips that they felt demonstrated a lack of trust in players' maturity. Policies like these had not existed under Rittman, the coach who recruited them a year earlier. The curfew forced players who were staying up late to finish their homework to go into the bathroom for light. Eventually the team convinced Hanson to let them work in the lobby, but they were required to ask permission and say how late they would be there.
         
"We're all adults in a hotel; we don't have any means of leaving" one freshman said. "She really tried to do everything that she could to show she could control us."

...which, I think it would be fair to say, witnesses Hanson playing not an academically accommodating role, as one would expect of a so-called "great fit," but rather a hindering role, unfortunately--at least until the players' persistence in calling for enactment of reasonable policy paid off, that is.

You would think that coming from Dartmouth she would have been accustomed to those academic restrictions.  I know a major reason my son went to Princeton rather than either of the MPSF schools recruiting him was that he would spend literally half the time on his sport than he would at MPSF schools.  Rachel Hanson had to be accustomed to the academic restrictions at Dartmouth.  I wonder why she had such onerous restrictions?  I wonder if she still does?
