Message: [QUOTE="Twolf, post: 3934025, member: 8437"] The head coach is always responsible when the team takes 2nd place in a game whether it’s their fault or not. Basketball games are won by players making plays- the coach’s job is to put players in position to make them. Last night UConn simply did not have enough players capable of doing that, & Arizona played a major role in keeping it that way. One big was playing sped up and was ineffective, while the other’s effort was good she faced a swarming defense that limited her chances. That left the three smalls to make enough plays to win the game- hard to do against a defense like Arizona put on display, and they also had the best player on the floor who seemingly could make plays at will. UConn’s “immature culture“ was good enough for 28 wins that I also don’t remember the coach taking credit for, and while it wasn’t good enough last night, sometimes a loss is the necessary medicine a young team has to take to realize that they all have to listen better, get tougher, and improve their individual skills if they don’t want to end with the same result.
