Who to Fangirl – Brad Stevens

If you have been following March Madness at all this year, you must know about Butler and their return trip to the Final Four. They have had some crazy games, and before that they were having a crazy season, but supervising this operation was one collected man – Brad Stevens. I should look up links but just go to ESPN.com or search Google and you’ll find plenty of recent articles on him and the Butler team.

As for his style, I have to say I like the glasses. Ahem, I mean, I don’t understand basketball too well but I think he does a great job getting his players to believe in each other and the system, and I think he connects with them very well. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that he’s a young coach and just very, very cool 🙂

This Friday for the Anonymous Sports Fangirl

Let’s see what I’m doing right now…

  1. Following 3 different men’s volleyball matches via GameTracker (Go Stanford!)
  2. Have the TV on with March Madness playing.
  3. Checking up on college tennis results and pro tennis results.

What I also did today was watch some women’s college gymnastics in the morning and some live college tennis after work (UW vs Arizona). After the basketball finishes I will watch some soccer (Spain vs. Czech Republic EURO  2012 qualifiers) off my DVR. I think I covered most of the sports I follow except for track and field.

I’m pretty good at marathoning certain sports, especially if it’s during a tournament, but I prefer just doing a little bit at a time. It keeps me fresh and I feel like I’m somewhat in the loop for multiple sports and not completely lost on most of them.

Also, I pretty much rely on my DVR to watch most of my sports, since so many events happen while I’m at school or working or sleeping. I could be a super fangirl and find a way to watch everything live, but being an anonymous fangirl doesn’t require me to be super or crazy, so I’ll just stick to what let’s me watch the most I can comfortably.
