This is why student athletes are "ALL IN" at Iowa State

Sorry if the has already been posted. Fennelly's post game locker room speech after the Georgia game demonstrates the class and family values that permeate the halls of ISU. We really are fortunate to have a coach who feels this way about his players and staff. Thank you Bill and thank you to the 2012-2013 ISU Women's Basketball team for a fun and memorable year!

And then there's the free ride, of course.

We have a great school, a great WBB and results...but some fans are lacking.

Hard to say goodbye to a class of players that I have probably grown as close to as any before. Thanks for everything Coach!

You are so correct, I have 4 signed basketballs in my home office and the last one was presented to me personally by Bill. He is a very humble person and gives all the credit of his success to the players he has coached.

Fenelly is a great guy that loves ISU. It is well known that he has a hard time relating to players amd relies heavily on his assistants for that. All three seniors this year thanked every coach including Easley but not him.

In his speech, Fennelly told the players to thank everyone on the staff which they were doing.

As mentioned previously, Pop very specifically mentioned Coach Fennelly. Anna specifically mentioned him in the post game as well. I've never seen any documentation about him not relating to players. Actually quite the opposite. Many I've talked to have said he has an open door to talk about anything and everything. His home is open to them. I think he relates quite well.
