Brenda Frese rested her chin on her left hand as she sat on the University of Maryland bench during a recent game at George Washington.
Even with her team winning by 42 points in the closing seconds, the Terps head coach, from Laurel, still jumped to her feet to shout encouragement after a hustle play by one of her reserves.
With six seconds left on the clock, Frese rose from her seat once again and walked to midcourt for a handshake and hug with GW head coach Jennifer Rizzotti, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, as the final buzzer sounded.
