Gordon Monson: The No. 8 UtahWBB are on a mission to “do things that have never been done before” in the program.
The No. 8 Utah women are on a mission to “do things that have never been done before” in the program.
“Losing sucks. Winning is fun. It’s what we aim to do. It’s what we can do. It’s what we have to do.”At this writing, Roberts’ Utes are 14-0, ranked among the country’s best college teams, and looking for more, a whole lot more. They’re ranked third nationally in scoring and scoring margin , second in field-goal percentage , fourth in assists . They beat then-16th-ranked Oklahoma at the Huntsman by 46 points in November. In half of Utah’s games, it has led by 38 points or more.
Roberts has always been a studious tactician. Her office features books and binders across the shelves filled with notes from two decades of coaching, scribblings that include darn near every bit of information, lessons all those years have taught.The primary thrust of her coaching education has been this rather basic one: Recruit great players.
“We call those [long 2-pointers] ‘death shots,’” says Roberts. “Whenever anyone takes one of those in practice, I blast an airhorn. It’s like training dogs.” Roberts says what any decent, non-egocentric coach admits: “Coaches don’t win games and championships, players do.”
