Back in the saddle again DiStefano returns to coach Metcalfe girls after one-year absence By JOHN VERSERGlasgow Daily Times “Basically, we’ve played some games where we’ve had sophomores and below down on the floor, we’ve had some games where we’ve had some juniors and seniors on the floor,” DiStefano said. “Everybody’s going to get the chance to show me whether they can play or not.
“Summer basketball to me is good because you get to see everybody, but winning summer games isn’t on my priority list. I see a lot of good things and I see some things that we need to work on.” Metcalfe lost four starters from last year’s team that finished with a 13-15 record. The Lady Hornets return just two players with much varsity experience in Rhea Ellen Thompson and Kara Reece. DiStefano said his team will press defensively and play an up-tempo style. “We’re very small, very inexperienced,” DiStefano said. “We’ve got the ability and the talent and the quickness to do those kind of things. Whether we’re going to be successful right away or not with that, I couldn’t tell you, but that’ll be our style for a while. We have kids that fit that mold. They’re about all the same size and we do have a lot of quickness. “We will play fast-paced, we will shoot open shots and we will execute. That’s something that I’ve always done. We will execute in the half court and we will run offense when we have to, and we will play defense.” And two weeks into his “new” old job, the coaching veteran is glad to be back in the game. “I’ve enjoyed it. I really have,” DiStefano said.
