When Dorothy Gaters finally speaks, her message is familiar and firm and, as usual, about fundamentals: "Move your big feet." ''Box out." ''No fouls."
If they don't do that, she doesn't hesitate to take it up a notch on the court.
"You're embarrassing yourselves!" she tells them even when they're winning handily.
Gaters later explains: "Sloppy play is never enjoyable. Sometimes I'll be like, 'I hope this game is over soon. I can go home and watch some real basketball.'"
