UConn would have nothing to do with her getting any medical treatment. She's in High School just going into her senior year.
Daayuum. That stuff is just dripping today.RadyLady said:o c'mon TJI - you are being totally unreasonable and not giving this an awful lot of thought! surely you understand that arm chair coaches have a fuller understanding of the situation than say, someone directly in the mix, and know precisely how things should be done as opposed to these coaches selected for their experience. seriously I think you're making vast assumptions and drawing erroneous conclusions simply based upon what you're seeing on the TV screen... o wait....
We talk about her so much I forget we still have a year to wait. Thanks for the correction.
That very well may be - at least it can be argued. What can't be argued is her team won the world championship. Objectively, that was the result she got, in black & white. How much better result could she have gotten?
I imagine the USA team has a doctor/physio/trainer with them.
Ask Geno about that! I think the championship game was a lot closer than it could and should have been. I think it could almost have gone either way in the last minute or two. A game that the USA team was obviously far more talented in could have been lost by poor coaching decisions. How irate would Geno have been??? The Spain team was good enough to make it a very competitive game IF the USA coach employed horrific defensive strategies and didn't adjust as the game played on. The Spain team was good enough to make it a very competitive game IF the USA coach had burnt out at least one of her stars (KLS) by playing her EXCESSIVE minutes in previous games (blowouts) despite her being obviously under the weather throughout the tournament. I think you have to give credit (or blame) where it is due and when you have a stacked team and still have to squeak out a victory narrowly in the closing minutes that suggests you reevaluate what the heck happened. There was absolutely no reason for the final game to be decided in the last minute despite an outstanding performance by that Spanish star. Her performance was enhanced by the extraordinarily poor defensive scheme of the US coaching staff and the unwillingness to change things when she made uncontested shot after shot.
WELL SAID!! I watched the game and thought those exact things...it's like they were hoping to win by sheer number of good players instead of working and wanting it more.
I watched the game and thought the same thing. And it worked.
