Geno as far back as I can go believed in the 3 ball.  So he pushed his teams to be more accurate with that shot.  It takes 7 plus 2's to do what 5 3's will do. Shot for shot the payoff (with top shooter, obviouly) is better with the 3; something like this was related by Geno.  When they are clanking, without the ability to rebound, they are a liability (22/60).
Without some ability to rebound well the fast break speedy offense stalls  The question is where other than KLS, Megan, Naphees does that rebounding come from?  With those 3 Misses EVERYTHING for Uconn taking on larger and larger minutes and responsibilities I fear for their health.  At one time I believe most kids 15 to 25 could run 24/7 and run some more.  I was never tasked to run as these kids must.   I'm not fully naive about Coombs but she has speed, plays good defense (not starting 5 D), seems to have a good IQ and BBIQ--you are right she has areas that need work--but Uconn needs her or some one like her.
