Coaches/admins on the invitation are John Donahoe, Andrew Luck, Tavita Pritchard, Tabitha Yim, Kyle Smith and Kate Paye. Honestly I don't know what to say to Coach Paye. Her reports at these events are bland. She seems uncomfortable interacting with the attendees. She needs to be working the crowd to regain their trust that the program is headed in the right direction. But that is not at all her personality.
Maybe I will have a chance to talk with John Donahoe or one of his staff members to gauge their concern about WBB.
Paye is pretty scripted and looks like she's not totally comfortable in those types of settings or in front of the media. Tara was a little bit that way but also knew how to turn it on and is very humorous in her own way.
If you get a chance, talk to Donahoe! I've sent emails this season to him regarding overall sentiment and my disappointment in the state of the women's basketball program. He's willing to listen!
