Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3724074, member: 10435"] I agree about the left hand. I noticed it also. It has to be corrected at this level because she will definitely need it at the next. This tape is now 2 seasons old so we don't know what her current status is with using the left hand. I can't imagine that she hasn't trained diligently after her surgeries on driving and finishing with it. You can tell by the passes that she has great court sense. She anticipates very well the movement of her teammates which is not an easy skill. She also has every other shot whether off the bounce, a stop and pull up or just as a spot shooter. She anticipates smartly on defense also. I can see her having an AA season. I completely agree with you about the deficiencies of modern coaching. What makes it even more acute is that Evina was either #1 or #2 in her class depending upon the service. She obviously is talented enough to do anything on the court but nobody addressed that? If you want to talk about what AAU or High School haven't taught their players it would be a very long conversation. It is even more obvious to me in the men's game. It is a shame because the talent level and athleticism is so great but the fundamentals are often so mediocre because they were never stressed and therefore never taught and I wonder if that is because the AAU or High School coaches were never taught them either. That is why you have to love the UCONN women. It is timeless fundamental basketball that works. [/QUOTE]
