Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 5289793, member: 7511"] Coaches are masters of rationalization. If you’re Cori Close or Dawn Staley, and you want your team to embrace the goal of pursuing a national championship next season, you have to rationalize getting blown out by 30+ by the Huskies. The usual excuses of, “We weren’t ready” or “We didn’t execute well” just don’t cut it when you’re in the FF and preparation and execution fall on the HC. So Cori invented a novel excuse that UCLA lost a bunch of inches on screens, switches, rebounds, you name it. When Sarah was knocking down 3’s from the arc with no UCLA defender within 10 feet of her, that’s 120 inches right there, on every shot. As you point out, it was a boatload of inches. [/QUOTE]
