Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3916273, member: 1131"] That must have been in the 2015-16 season when South Florida had Courtney Williams, who was a first-round WNBA draft choice who played several years for the Connecticut Sun -- very successfully. She was and is an unbelievably fast guard with a very good jump shot. My recollection is that Geno had Nurse, Gabby Williams, and possibly Moriah guarding her at different points in the game. When they guarded her, they had no help responsibilities, so it amounted to face-guarding. The fact that he had three different defenders on her at different times kept any of them from running out of energy, while taxing C. Williams's stamina to the limit. After the last game, Geno made a comment about how Jose "ran some great stuff to get her open". As I recall, she got about 15 points, which wasn't nearly enough to make the game competitive. That might have been the game where Lou went 10-for-10 on 3-point shots. That may have overshadowed C. Williams's heroic efforts in a losing cause. I may take another look at that game to see what defense was used. But dealing with star opposing guards is hardly a new challenge for Geno, CD, and the other coaches. [/QUOTE]
