Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4769942, member: 12088"] I'm totally with you on Amari, and I like your optimism about her. One thing I wish she would do more of -- and frankly all shot blockers could benefit from this -- is to approach a block not as a downward swat as much as an upward tip. Any disruption of the arc of the ball is likely to cause a miss. But tipping the ball up increases the blocker's chance off simply grabbing it a moment later. Even more importantly, tipping the ball up reduces the likelihood of getting a foul called. It's the swat that draws the attention of the refs. Amari tips the ball sometimes. Dorka did it too. I hope she focuses on this more. [/QUOTE]
