I attended the conference championship women's tennis match between DC and VCU two years ago and recall VCU's entire team was international-- and largely Russian.

Did anyone notice that #55 for VCU, One of two Russians on their team, had to have a translator, the grey haired gentleman on the bench, translate all the VCU's coaches instructions to her or the team. She obviously could not speak enough english to understand rudimentary instructions as the man immediately after the coach spoke repeatedly relayed to her what was said as she sometimes stood apart from their huddle. Strange.....I have never seen anything quite like that men or women's games. Going to classes must be tough.


VCU has a number of international athletes on a variety of their teams.

Over a four year period coaching, I used an interpreter every day (practice, team meetings and games). Was fortunate to have a couple that were All-Americans.

If you're in a hurry, watch the "in-game highlights".

(They still haven't fixed these.)
