Message: [QUOTE="Ralph, post: 3095498, member: 7048"] Do the arms of the defender really have to be straight up. I can see that is the rule in the post, they always are saying of ONO, keep the hands up, don't swipe down. But out on the perimeter, I don't think I ever see arms straight up. Maybe they can be out to the side but not out in front. Or you can have them in front but if the player with the ball shoots you have to move your hand away, which is probably impossible, no one has reflexes that good, or you better just hit all ball, and hope the ref sees it that way. But if all this is the case, shouldn't all UConn players know by the end of freshman year, you can't defend with an arm out front? So why was Lou doing it? Tired? Careless, because of being a little bit hurt and beat up? I think the above post is spot on as I think about it, Mikayla probably would have over reacted to Dillard's moves, and Geno knew that. I am starting to appreciate how special Jefferson was as a defender, like the game against Mabry. Shut her down without fouling. [/QUOTE]
