BPSN published a profile piece on Knights women’s basketball coach Chris Rao and three-year captain Jamira Rousseau and their atypical coach/player relationship.
In the article, Roa describes how he hasn’t worked with a player in the post secondary game that understands the game on his wavelength as well as Jamira. “We have such a great partnership and she has a great understanding of what I want and I understand what she is looking at,” said Roa. “I am comfortable with her calling the shots, calling the plays and making the decisions out there.”
Rousseau is also quoted in the article, touching on how her game has evolved: “I have told Chris multiple times that my scoring is a lot different but I am a much better basketball player now because I am smarter. I am seeing different stuff on the court and I am seeing my teammates open on the court. I am happy getting them their shots.”
