Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 4276765, member: 6931"] Agreed. I recent years I have noticed Geno making some adjustments after each successive semi-final loss. For example in 2017/18 he had his guards trying to push pace of play more. The following year he had Dangerfield creating more off the dribble and penetrating for pull-up jumpers which she was very good at. But such adjustments were evolutionary and even reactionary, and I don't think really addressed the fundamental issues we're talking about. It was the Arkansas game last year when I firmly concluded that the offensive approach was more or less broken. We towered over those guys inside. Yet we played their game on their terms at their pace. I think Geno realized it too because when we went up against a similar team in Arizona, he actually did try to play them inside out. The problem was he had not cultivated that type of offence anytime prior, and he was asking his players to do something they had not really done before. Still might have pulled it off if Liv hadn't had such a difficult night. I'm not really sure I know what the best remedy is here, but I'm pretty sure I do know what's wrong. It will be very interesting to see if Geno does try to make some more substantive changes, perhaps spurred on by Paige as you suggested. I'd bet that Geno is going to have a final act to his career that will have him cutting down the nets at least once more. [/QUOTE]
