What makes a good head coach of any college team is their ability to bring in young talents through commitments. The UCLA Bruins were able to land star seniopr Charisma Osborne by Coach Close going to an extreme of dancing.
Osborne clarified a wild story about how she told Coach Close that she would commit to UCLA if she danced. At the time of her commitment, social media was going wild with the "In My Feelings" dance. Osborne revealed she told Coach Close if she performed this while visiting her, she would commit. Apparently, Coach Close did just that.
What makes his story that much more hilarious is that Coach Close is very nonsensical person. However, she does engage in wild antics every now and again.
Earlier in the season, Coach Close came into a meeting dressed in full UCLA Bruins football gear. She began to hit herself on the pads to fire up her team. While this might sound a bit silly, its to showcase that even moments when she is being laughed at, her mind is on inspiring her players.
The story told about Coach Close dancing for Osborne is just another instance that adds to her growing legend.
She has proven time and time again that her enitre being is to inspire and provide a positive role model for her student-atheletes. Whatever Coach Close is doing has worked well, as the team is set to take on the NCAA Tournament.
The Bruins have claimed the #2 seed, and will need to band together to face the gauntlet of the bracket they have been placed in. Some of the challenges facing them is #1 seed Iowa, #4 seed Kansas State, and #3 seed LSU.
