The only thing I worry about is she is such a hard nosed/proud person, and she stays at it long after she should.

On the other hand, she might have the ability to realize that she's got to step down for the good of the program and ride off into the sunset as one of if not the most successful basketball coaches in the game period.

That's what one of articles talks about though. The doctors are glad she isn't stepping away "into the sunset" like many others have. Remaining active will help with this disease.
