Message: [QUOTE="WestCoast, post: 3401092, member: 10114"] The majority of commenters on the Minneapolis Star-Tribune website seem to be siding with Whalen. Observers who attended the NW-Minnesota game wrote that Pitts loafed on defense, hogged the ball on offense, and pouted on the bench during that game. If Whalen's team is going to lose in the Big-10, it won't be due to Whalen having to coax effort out of her players. Pitts was a star player and the team's leading scorer. A very good three-point and free throw shooter this season, Pitts is however undeniably a volume shooter with a FG% under 40%. After reading what observers have been seeing and reporting about Pitts, it is apparent that Whalen had to send some kind of message to Pitts. Pitts obviously didn't like that message and likely wasn't willing to change to suit Whalen's direction. [/QUOTE]
