[crackpot]

Kills me to say it, but I, too, thought Close won the coaching game. During Q1, nearing the 3 minute mark, and the Bruins are sucking wind. Stanford is up by 6 or so, and Close is reminding the refs that they haven't yet take the under-5 timeout. Whistle, timeout, and the Bruins come back to make it close. She used her timeouts with perfect timing last night.

This game reminded me a lot of the Colorado game--physicality that would not be tolerated in the men's game, and same head ref (Brenda Patoja). Not fun to watch, even if my team comes out with a W.
