 A College Basketball Playbook
Special series featured on WCW-related blog
Laura Pappano, writer-in-residence at the Wellesley Centers for Women, is contributing an occasional series to her blog, FairGameNews.com,
on University of Rhode Island Women's Basketball Coach Cathy
Inglese as she tries to turn around a program that last year finished
last. FairGameNews, a component of the Women's Sports Leadership
Project at WCW, discusses gender equity in organized athletics.
Pappano begins her reporting of Inglese as she sets up shop: "The first game of the upcoming season - against Fairfield University
(18-13 last year) - is months away, but Coach Cathy Inglese is thinking
about it. More pointedly, she's thinking about the work she and her
team have ahead of them to be competitive in that game - and in the season."
