https://x.com/sportingnews/status/1784643990706340295Happy retirement Candace!
I was at a NCAAT game in Dayton and the LVs were playing Marist
Marist was hangin around in the 2nd half
The player Candace was guarding went for essentially an uncontested layup
As soon as the ball reached half court I heard Pat scream TIME OUT!
Candace went straight to the bench, not the active team circle of chairs
She knew what was coming
Pat spent the entire TO in Candace's face (assistants ran the team huddle)
Candace just sat, looked directly at Pat the entire time and took it, she knew Pat didn't play favorites, everybody was held to the same standard
Once Candace returned to the floor, it was lights out for Marist
I learned a LOT about Candace in that 2 minutes and confirmed why Pat was the winner that she was
We have missed that accountability in recent years, hopefully Caldwell can bring that accountability back to the LVs
