Megan Priebe

What Coaches Have to Say About Meg

Megan has many qualities that cannot be measured by statistics. First of all, she is a tenacious defender. Secondly, she is a great competitor. Next is her toughness, aggressiveness, and work ethic. She is also a great shooter. She was so good that she had my permission to shoot any shot, anytime she wanted. Other coaches were frustrated because it is hard to defend a shot made three feet behind the three point line. That is the kind of confidence I had in her shot. Her best quality was her coachability. Simply put, she was the most coachable player I have ever coached. Since she was the only true point guard on our team, she was asked to play the whole game several times. . . . Megan was the all time leader in four different categories. Most Points-341, Most Assists-124, Most Three Pointers-48, and Most Points is one game-28. She also made the Top Ten in five other categories including Free Throws Made, Free Throw %, Three Point %, Scoring Average and Most Points one game (3 times). She also helped set four team records.. . . There is no other player in my seventeen years of coaching that has had that kind of impact on our statistics. To see letter in its entirety click here.

While statistical accomplishments are important and impressive, it is the intangible things that make up a good point guard. In Meg's case she has the mindset of a prototype point guard. She has great court vision and is the type of player who works at involving her teammates early. She consistently makes her team better. Often times team intensity and performance noticeably decreases when she is not in the lineup. She has the ability to "turn it on" at important stages of a game often scoring in bunches in short periods of time as needed. Meg is a surprisingly good rebounder for a guard who can start fast breaks off her rebounds.

Meg has a tremendous will to win and a fierce competitive spirit. The tougher and more physical the opponent, the tougher she becomes. Physically, she is tough and exceptionally strong from the many hours spent in the weight room. Mentally, she is determined, tenacious, and aggressive on the court. Her work ethic is a coach's dream. She can often be found shooting anywhere from 700 to 1000 shots at a non-practice workout session. She is very coachable and always supportive of her teammates. She is fun to watch.
