Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5133190, member: 12088"] I always worry about this. Will Azzi’s arrival make it better or worse? Could there be Paige & Azzi watching? And Sarah? And this phenomenon gets worse when the pressure is really on. That 3rd quarter against Ole Miss had a bit of this until Azzi took over. And the closing minutes of the USC game last season the team succumbed to it again, and there were veterans in that lineup. I’d add that there’s also more coaching talent out there these days, especially as the W has matured. More women especially have gotten experience playing at every level and have a lot of wisdom to bring to teams. And it’s not just head coaches. There’s a lot of very professional staffs out there. This is the legacy of Geno and Tara and Pat and, yes, even Muffet. They set the standard high for coaches and more of them have responded to their example. [/QUOTE]
