In the 12/16 interviews, both Geno and Caroline herself confirmed (I believe for the first time) that Caroline currently has physical limitations that she did not have during the peak of her season last year.  From what they both said, it appears that this relates to her hip surgery rather than her neck issue.  Geno said that she is accustomed to moving at a certain pace, and hasn't fully adjusted to the fact that she can't move quite the same way now as she could for much of last season.  Then Caroline herself said that she isn't physically back to where she was in the middle of last season, but that she is getting closer to that every day,

It didn't sound like a permanent limitation -- or at least Geno and Caroline do not wish to think that it is.

But those of us (including me) who attributed her inconsistent play this year entirely to "rust" and to her not having played basketball during the summer were not entirely correct -- there still is a physical limitation that didn't previously exist.

So I think we have to bear that in mind when we optimistically declare that Caroline is "back" or soon will be.  It may take a while, unfortunately.
