Why Trish?
You see Duke/UNC betrayal. You see a black woman in a “white” environment. You see egg shells and thin ice. I don’t. I see T.S-0! Trish. I see someone that is known for putting elbow in the mouths of whoever feels like looking stupid within the setting of 94.5ft of hardwood.
I don’t “introduce” anyone simply because, if I have to do research, the best way for me to tell you about TITLE IX like awareness is to direct you there.
Trish is built just that way. She’s coach enough to coach you, but like every coach will tell anyone willing to learn, “I can teach you everything, but I don’t shoot free throws.You do.”
I will say this. Coach Odom is indeed real. Judge nothing, and test reality. At some point you’ll soon see, research is worth it when the worth has lasting value. Trish is valuable!
