Re: The more I see and read about Dan Burt ...

Me, too. I have season tickets for the women's team & generally sit behind the bench. In all honesty, not only is the team in good hands with Burt, I believe he is a better head coach than his predecessor. Every player has improved over last year. Of course, you expect 'em to improve with another year of experience, but many of 'em have improved immensely. I think Burt getes a lotta credit for that. His precedessor was a screamer (to say the least) but not everybody on a women's team will respond to that. Burt's style is more about positive reinforcement, but he hasn't had to sacrifice any of the discipline that the team has had. It's made a lotta kids play better. Heck, he recruited most of these girls anyway. Their style of play is fast & exciting. Do many of you go to their games? To me, it's like they're the best kept secret in Pittsburgh. I think Burt will finish the job of getting this group to the NCAA's. In the meantime, Pittsburgh is missing out on something great.

Re: The more I see and read about Dan Burt ...

I am a long-time fan of the women's basketball team but I live in NJ. I've seen them play a couple times recently at Palumbo when I've been in Pittsburgh for a men's game, and a couple years ago my daughter and I went to see them play at Lehigh, which is about a half hour from where I am. One thing that has pleased me since S. Mc-S. took over is that every year one of the women hits her junior or senior year and suddenly blossoms as a player. This year, with Dan Burt, it's the Moore girl, who right now appears to be the best and most consistent player - even with Wumi. Wumi is very talented, and I hope she gets to the WNBA.

Moore has been terrific. Orsi Szesci is playing her best basketball, too, showing some unselfishness that Susie tried to drill into her. And yes, Wumi is just super.
