I hear the LSU coach can be a real piece of work, and there were some feisty moments on the court aimed at Caitlin Clark. Good for LSU. She got a taste of her own medicine.
Clark is a phenomenal player, but her brashness is annoying, somehow out of place and over the top. Just play the damn game and dispense with the histrionics.
Where do these antics come from? How and why do these players become such showboats? Do they think fans expect this type of behavior from them, is it instilled by parents and siblings and coaches along the way? Do they spend as much time cultivating their trash talk prowess as they do their athletic skills? Always playing with a chip, always something to prove.
Take a chill pill, and just go out on the court and be happy with letting your play do the talking. No need for the extracurriculars.
