I may be wrong (I haven't checked the tape, as they used to say) but I believe that it was Geno who said to Jana "You didn't come all this way to be a non-factor". It was him urging her to impact the game more, and not, as you suggest, her whining about not getting playing time.

I appreciate your observations and analysis. However, I disagree with one aspect of your commentary on Blanca. I don't think that her initial tendency toward playing at warp speed was a result of having played at that speed in the pros. In general, European basketball is more deliberate than...
