When women's basketball playi
Jenny Randall takes the court, two thinj
are certain: She's going to be fired u
and win or lose, she's going to leave ever
thing she has on the court when th
game is over. That's just the way si:
and her teammates like it.

son is the reason
she came to USC.
"I chose Carolina because I really rt
spected coach Wilson and her coachinj

focus of my decision.
"I like the atmosphere as far as ho\
the administration treats the athlete
and their involvement in each athlete'

"I also love our new assistant coach

ership is usually directed at the three
1 freshmen, Heather Godfrey, Audrey
, Ramsey and Tenna Thompson, all of
whom see a great deal of playing time.
"You can get frustrated sometimes,"
Randall said. "Christi (Timmons) and I
were in the same situation our freshman
year. You have to be patient and
|j more encouraging.
"It's easy getting down on yourself
when you are that young, because there
are going to be those nights when nothing
is going right. I think ifs important
for the older ones to encourage them and
keep them a part of what's going on."
Playing in the tough SEC is a dream
for most athletes, and Randall is no exception.
She said the Gamecocks must
' learn to play more consistently if they
want to be competitive.
"I think playing at the SEC level is
k_ something I have always dreamed of,
g playing against the Tennessees and Ala
abamas every night," Randall said "When
we put 40 minutes together, we'll be
v much more effective.
s "We played a solid 30 minutes at Als
abama, but we slipped up a bit in our
defensive assignments. You just can't
. do that in the SEC."
r Off the court, Randall is a sport ada
ministration m?gor who has intentions
1 of returning to Lexington, Ky., after graduation.
Although most people think athr
letes are good at everything they do,
e Randall is quick to admit she's not pert
feet.
"I play a lot of golf," Randall said. "I
love to play golf. Fm not very good at it,
1 but I love to play."
t Ultimately, Randall believes that
l Wilson is the heart and soul of the
i women's basketball program, and it's
t clear her respect for Wilson goes beyond
basketball.
' "She wants whatfs best for her plav
ers, and she will invest time in them to
s make sure things happen in their best
interests," Randall said.
