Altavilla : Geno rips into team

[DaddyChoc]

a couple of trips... geesh Meyers, thats not giving any player much of a chance. shoot it take KML more that a few trips and she plays 30 minutes a game.

I still say these girls should be playing in crunch time with the "good" players thru-out the season and they will not look like "deers in the headlights" on national tv... but "if they dont do well in practice" blah blah blah

That was kinda my point in responding to Fryer about Kiah not touching the ball. If she was sent in there to get some rebounds, she didn't. Granted she wasn't given much time, but I think sometimes (usually), Geno or the staff can tell if they are going to get anything out of a player or not in a couple trips up and down the floor.

Yeah, I went back and watch parts of the game and focused on Kiah. She had opportunities to go after the ball and didn't. She had opportunities to defend better and harder and didn't. She looked a little lost. And you're right, the coaches can tell and last night's game wasn't one to let her play her way out of it.

Exactly why she ended up on the pine.

Wish they could have, but the team needed support immediately.

While you are under there, please change the muffler.

And fill up the tank.

We seem to be running out of gas a lot lately.

Since you watched the game again, could you share with us which other players "had opportunities to defend better and harder" and did?

Except KML, of course.

For example, how many rebounds did Stef have in the 2nd half would be an excellent place to start.

How many steals did we have in the 2nd half?

Sadly, I must repeat myself all over again.

Why is it that some players are almost always given a pass while other players get slamed?

I don't see any players being slammed.

It is hard to admit it but ND is better at this point. They are loaded with upperclassmen and grad students. We have one senior and mostly inexperienced underclassmen. They played at least 8/9 players and our 5/6 players were gassed. Even great coaches can't win it all without the horses.

This Becca thing is a little troubling. Sounds like the G man might have been embellishing the story for a little motivation
