Yes.
No assists?
I have been saying that for awhile ! Irwin must be Geno's favorite player. We are playing 4 on 5.
There’s a difference between Dolson setting licks and Irwin. Yes they are setting picks but the big in the high post also can roll and be an option for a mid range or slide to the basket. What Irwin does now is less effective because teams can scout that away by going harder around the screens and not worrying about Kyla as an offensive threat.
I’m seeing the same thing BigMick. In my other lost I also point out that Kyla and Dolson setting picks is not the same. If Kyla cannot make the perfect pass each time or be a good enough offensive threat, setting picks isnt good enough to warrant a starting spot IMHO.Let me try this "one"last time:
UCONN's game is based on continuous movement. Within that movement they try to pick-off their defender using any player (teammate or opponent) on the floor. Until recently, they were not a team that dribbles back and forth around the 3 point line trying to use one of those picks to get a shot. Noooo, previously they created open shots with ball movement. For Christ sake, Geno wants them to "READ" and "REACT".
And so, what happens: When Irwin is in the game, all of the above goes out the window as the ball handler (be it Dangerfield, Williams or Walker) works diligently to use those picks; meanwhile, the other three stand around waiting for something to react to. And then, as the clocks runs down (sometimes out) we end up with a not very good shot.
Bad idea, get rid of.
No you dont have to but who are you to question what other people say on here! Sure question what there saying or disagree with them but dont put them down!Yes.
Does that allow me to continually harp on the things that I know Geno is doing wrong, game in and game out. Don't know, but being on the BY allows me to do that, because that is what the BY is for.
And I have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express while doing them.
In the last three games, Kyla took 7 shots in 74 minutes played. She has taken a total of 4 free throws this season in 306 minutes. She has taken a total of 10 shots inside the three-point line in all those minutes and presumably some of the those were probably put-backs off of missed shots. She cannot create and she rarely shoots. In those 306 minutes she has 1 block and 3 steals. It baffles me why she (and Molly, too) won't shoot the ball.
Geno said Irwin made the team move more in an interview in previous days before the game. Geno said after the game that Irwin hasn’t played as well in the last 2 to 3 weeks. Geno said he’s very happy with Ania now in the last two pressers. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a change in the lineup for UCF.
Yes. Big difference. (hence why the offense ran so well during Dolson's reign). She is bigger, better shooter, better screener, better passer. She was an AA. However, that has nothing to do with my point for Mickey. He seems to think we don't need anyone to set picks to run offense. In fact, he has stated setting picks is detrimental to running UCONN's offense. Which is about the dumbest thing I've read on here in quite some time. I do hope you don't subscribe to Mickey's warped view.
Yes, I stated as much (if you read what I wrote). Except I added in the caveat that Irwin should probably flare instead of roll since shooting 3's is more in her wheelhouse. But either way, she does need to be more of an offensive threat.
At present, 5 Aubrey’s would look like a fire drill on the court. If you don’t know where to go in the offense you can’t run offense.
I always enjoy the Chinese fire drill in the movies, I laugh and chuckle and chortle.
Well stated but I am sure that many will continue to disagree with you.Geno won't do this and I probably wouldn't either, however I'd like to see someone jump out of a plane without a parachute. They'd probably splat on the ground, but maybe if we gave them enough time and they flapped their arms enough, they would fly.
Damn people, some of ya'll do make my head hurt.
Fine.
See an eye doctor.
Thanks for helping me spit Pepsi all over my keyboard.
And the 3 games before that she had 17 points and 7 assists in 66 minutes. Yea, she's in a bit of a slump right now, that she needs to get out of.
True she needs to roll or flare more (or at all). And shoot when she's open. But her setting picks is NOT (repeat NOT, cause you don't seem to be able to understand) why the offense is bogging down. In fact when she is in there setting picks the offense runs better than when she is not in there. That's just the way it IS right now.
I (and Geno seems to agree) think she should get those minutes because the offense (which we're having lots of trouble with this year) runs better when she is in the game. I'm sure Geno wishes he had other options or that the offense would run better with a player who can score or rebound more. But at this point in the season, this is what he's got.
I hate to join in this sometimes overly emotional conversation, but....Dude captures my thoughts as well. Today, Geno is able to build a game plan that includes Kyla as a starter. Her level of consistent play today is also at her upside, skill wise. Anna has been inconsistent but seems limited today more by confidence As he has done in many seasons, likely Geno has a better idea of what he needs for the season's success and will begin making changes.
