Tara is often criticized for being low-charisma and extremely plain Jane in her demeanor vis-a-vis the more animated Mulkey, McGraw, and Auriemma, but one way I'm thankful for that is that you never see her taking her frustrations out on her players, and she's almost always very, very even-keeled. Some of Muffet's pressers in those demolition losses were hard to watch for how critical she was of her players. Never, ever seen that from Tara. The most she'll say is "X has to decide if she's committed/wants to play basketball/etc."
