The Munro team won their SCO championship fair and square, and had a fine season overall leading up to Vernon.<BR/><BR/>We wonder what the coaches think. A coach charged with high-performance results will no doubt be aghast. But another coach in charge of development probably realizes that more and more teams representing Scotland bodes well for the future... as opposed to one team winning year after year (like Kelly Wood... or Dordi Nordby, to use a non-SCO example).<BR/><BR/>Catch-22?TCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495850401015193026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646227.post-91800181978866363262008-03-26T13:17:00.000-04:002008-03-26T13:17:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.TCNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495850401015193026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16646227.post-58484514782116692062008-03-26T12:53:00.000-04:002008-03-26T12:53:00.000-04:00Point taken-but there's another question that has ...Point taken-but there's another question that has to be asked about both this and recent world championships...what the heck has happened to Scotland???

Time for our ladies to grow up - a loss is not the end all - Jones was heavy and only she is to blame and the reaction to beating Canada was natural. <BR/>Whining is unacceptable.MaggieUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770150925714343374noreply@blogger.com
