Message: [QUOTE="victor64, post: 5251513, member: 7101"] As a basic component of his offense, Geno often puts the 5 at the high post. I often second guessed that move because teams would dare the high post to take that wide open 15 footer. ONO didn't shoot there much, Aaliyah did eventually but it took a couple of years. Jana and Ice rarely do. Sarah doesn't count because she is freak of nature. LOL Putting the 5 at the high post reinforces the OP's point. With 5 out high, it frees up the wings to penetrate and shoot or kick the ball out. Jana and Ice had two roles at the high post. Reverse the ball and set screens. Both got so much more comfortable as the year wore on because they were making the correct passes and not forcing it like they did earlier. Beers, from OK, played off the post and got crushed because of it. Eventually, Jana, like Aaliyah will have the green light to shoot from there. Hopefully, though, her post moves improve enough so that she can be option there too. Silly me for every second guessing Geno. Jana's minutes in the tourney were limited only because of foul issues. Her rebounding and offense greatly improved by season's end. [/QUOTE]
