Each season in sports is different. With a different year come new expectations and for Sinclair sports the coaches expect big things. An issue with two-year colleges is the quick turnover teams have so you lose a lot of your players. But with that it also gives coaches a chance to rebuild their teams with new talent.<\/p>\n

Men\u2019s Basketball<\/p>\n
With only one returning player from last year\u2019s team Coach Jeff Price\u2019s team will have a different feel to them this year but the expectations are still high.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis team has a very high basketball IQ,\u201d Price said \u201cI like to run the triangle offense also the dribble drive as well, and I can do both effectively with this team.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Price he likes for his team to play in transition about 60 percent of the time but also puts an emphasis on defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re normally in the top 15 teams of the nation when it comes to scoring averaging around 85-90 points a game\u201d Price said, \u201cBut we\u2019re also normally in the top 20-30 teams is the nation when it comes to team defense as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Tartans will also be going to Chapel Hill to play the University of North Carolina.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe normally play them once every three years and so far were 1-1 against them\u201d Price said.<\/p>\n

Woman\u2019s Volleyball<\/p>\n
The volleyball team also faces a big turnover with only four returning players from last season\u2019s team. But Coach K.C Gan is ready to make adjustments and believes in his team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a talented team,\u201d Gan said. \u201cBut it\u2019s my job to make changes to our system with the talent we have. The system you used in previous years may not work with every team so you work around what you have.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gan believes that a team with good basics has the best chance to succeed.<\/p>\n
\u201cA good basic team has a great base,\u201d Gan said. \u201cYou have to learn to crawl before you walk, and walk before you run.\u201d Gan just wants his teams to learn and play hard<\/p>\n
\u201cI like to teach in practice but when its game time, I would love to just put my hands behind my back and just watch the team play. I believe that\u2019s their time to put everything in action.\u201d said Gan \u201cI believe that if you play your best it\u2019s ok, winning will come.\u201d<\/p>\n
