Duke beating up on L'ville

[CocoHusky]

Apparently, coach Mitchell can at least coach. He seemed somewhat active on the bench including shouting directions to the team and was seen in an animated discussion with a player not his daughter. And in a brief interview, it is clear that he is well experienced with coaching on the men's side.

Coach Hill at Georgia had a "what am I doing here" look throughout her brief tenure.

I not sure I would reach the same conclusion-that "Mitchell can at least coach". If you read through his biography he played football in college for 4 years. Began coaching Boys basketball in 1991. No evidence of coaching Girls until 2011-AAU likely his daughters AAU team. So 20 years of coaching at the high school level and suddenly he comes to the attention of The Ohio State University? Because… A) He is a really good coach or B) He has a very talented daughter? I am voting for B but I suppose A is entirely possible.

Impressive win by Duke. Good execution.

Not impressed with Louisville. They seem undisciplined & that will continue to do them in.

I'm not impressed with UofL either. I lost quite a bit of respect for Walz and the way they played Griner. The ol if you can't beat'em, bang'em.

I'm not denying it is B. A college coach most likely wouldn't have considered hiring him with his background absent the daughter. What I am saying is he at least appears to be active in the coaching of the team, as opposed to the Georgia assistant who sat there looking scared and doing nothing. Hence, I conclude, he has some coaching ability or the HC would tell him to sit there and shut up.

OTOH- I was pretty impressed with Williams play. She showed hints of becoming a defensive force in the middle ala Britney Griner.
May be a good choice to go high in the draft. Tremendous "upside" to her game.
