From 1997, this Sacramento local TV show interviewed the Monarchs players and their then-head coach Mary Murphy.

I've told this story before, but it's one of the games that really sticks out over the years ...
So Jamie Redd went to International, a small school in San Francisco, and they were matched up against Campolindo, where I was an assistant coach, in the state playoffs. There wasn't a lot of film available back then, and we hadn't scouted International, so all we knew was that she was supposed to be really good.
I get to the gym early (we were hosting), and International comes in. Not many girls, and only one who looked athletic. I quickly figure out that's Jamie Redd, and during the long down time before the game, Redd wanders down to one end of the court and stands directly under the basket. She's about 5-9 or so -- and then she jumps up and grabs the rim with both hands.
"OK, then," I thought. "We've got our work cut out for us."
Redd is by far the best player on the floor -- note we won the state title that year -- but she has nothing around her. After a while, we start to double-team and she gets frustrated. Her teammates can't stay with our kids and begin to foul.
We get a transition opportunity with one of International's players back and Redd comes out of nowhere to block the shot. Unfortunately she goes through her teammates to make the play and knocks the girl out of the game.
They're down to five players now, and two of them aren't any good at all, so now we are triple-teaming Redd and essentially letting the other players do whatever they want. One more fouls out -- they're down to four. Redd, after scoring 39, fouls out, and in the last minute, one more girl heads to the bench. They finish with two players on the floor, the only time I've ever seen that. It was also the only time I've ever told a defense to play man but triple-team one player -- and it still didn't work.
