Iowa State women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly, less than a month ago:<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe stuff that isn\u2019t going well, I have to fix,\u201d Fennelly said. \u201cThere will be changes made.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Fennelly often shoulders the blame for his team’s performance, such as after a loss at Oklahoma in 2011<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The last play we practice all the time, but it’s my fault. For some reason we ran it the wrong way. We ran it backwards. We practice it all the time. Lauren is left handed and we were trying to come up on the left side and aired the ball on the right side. Obviously that falls on me and we got to be more attentive to the attention to detail and running that play a little better.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI was a wrestler once, too, and when we lost, you didn\u2019t hear (Dan) Gable say in one press conference, \u2018It\u2019s my fault the team got beat.\u2019 No. He put it on us. They put it on us to the point where when you walked off the mat and you didn\u2019t do a good job, you could expect another workout within 45 minutes of the dual meet being over. And you didn\u2019t question it. We need to have a little more of that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

There are different dynamics at work here but I just thought it was an interesting contrast of how these men approach being a coach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
