Not every athlete can take hard coaching. Some players don't respond to it well, but those that can listen to instruction can accomplish great things. Barton Women's basketball has been one of the best teams in the Jayhawk conference under head coach Alan Clark, who knows he's a demanding head coach. He says though, that this year's squad has done a good job of taking that coaching and becoming better for it, as the squad is off to a 4-0 start.
"Especially my style of coaching, I'm not easy to play for. I know that. We tell kids that when they come in that I'm pretty demanding of doing things the right way and if we're not, we're going to let them know. Our kids buy in to our game plan and the kids played really well to the game plan.
"And that hasn't been that way the last couple years, where we were having enough basketball IQ that we were able to go through it once or twice in practice, or in a pregame, and be able to pick it up and be able to actually do it in the game. So that that's big to be able to say, OK, this is what we want to take away from them and be able to actually do it."
Barton will host 14th ranked Murray State Community College on Friday, with coverage at 5:15 on B104.3 The Point
