I'm a casual observer of WBB but I've closely followed TV's career since she arrived ('85) when my wife and I shared a table with her at a booster gathering. The complaints about "Thug Ball" following the Texas game is a whiny-loser look. Gotta wonder what the whiners would have said about the rough stuff had our women stuffed the Longhorns rather than be the stuff-ees. BTW, I would imagine the in-your-face and on-your-back we saw the other night will make regular appearances this year. Coach, I want to think, will find a way to power through it. So should the ref-bashers.

Stanford doesn't play that game. NCAA men and W/NBA don't play that game. I want to watch basketball.

All due respect, you'll be watching whatever is permitted by the officials on the floor. If the CBOA wants to nip this, they can and will. If they don't it won't go away just because some fans don't approve.
