WCBB players, with the exception of UC, all too frequently use the one-bounce "comfort" dribble under or near the basket rather than just going up and taking the shot. Why do you suppose this continues to occur? Stephanie (I think) addressed this last night during the Maryland game and this was the first time I can recall it being mentioned.
When I coached high school basketball-- both boys and girls-- it was a battle to eliminate the automatic dribble, a worse than useless unconscious and habitual reaction to receiving a pass: it got the player nowhere and often used up the dribble and left him/her vulnerable. You can see it often both in the paint and, with guards, on the perimeter. As with any habit, it's hard to break it.
Unless there's an open space to attack with a dribble, far better to look for an open shot or a pass. Only then, put the ball on the floor to create either a shot or a pass. Obviously, UConn coaches work on eliminating it because our women are guilty of it far less often than opponents. Both Gabby and Napheesa have been principal offenders, less so now than earlier in the season.
