Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 2111597, member: 1526"] There was one play, I think late in the 2Q, when we had the ball and Nurse was standing in the right corner all alone. I mean there wasn't a defender anywhere remotely in her zip code. We actually missed the opportunity to get her that wide open look because the ball and most everybody else was on the other side of the court. I remember thinking to myself that as hot as she'd been from behind the arc, how in the world do you miss somebody that badly on defense? Hillsman may be a great recruiter, but he sure sucks as an in game manager. Even after the game, all he could say is they lost Kia for the game. For the game? Have you ever heard of in game adjustments, perhaps? No, we're just gonna keep doing what we're doing and hope she starts missing? That was his apparent strategy, if that can be called strategy. To give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he's thinking we're screwed no matter what we do, because doubling up on Nurse just means somebody else is going to go wild scoring the BB, so you let it ride hoping she will eventually cool off. They were going to lose the game anyway, but I'd at least try something different when confronted with an opponent who's shooting the lights out from behind the arc with nobody within 15 feet guarding her.
