Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 4159524, member: 26"] Love everything I read about Caroline. If you read both articles, the things Geno and the team echo is the same thing we have seen - lack of leadership. [I]Who are the candidates to be the glue until Paige Bueckers’ return, hoped to be in mid-February? The coach paused — maybe for effect. “Unfortunately, there isn’t a single individual who you can say, ‘This is who is running it,’” he said. “We generally spread the ball around so that burden doesn’t fall on just one person, but, yeah, you’d like to have someone step up and be that person, but we haven’t found that person yet[/I].” Christyn KNOWS she needs to be one of those leaders as does Evina. Unfortunately what the team needs seems to be nowhere in sight. I do think that in the long run, losing Paige and Azzi will be "good" for the rest of the team, but if they can't find a way to "be more" before Paige and Azzi get back (especially Paige), I suspect they will just revert to a "Paige will bail us out no matter what" mentality - which is no good. It's really on the 3 seniors. Once they are gone, I have a feeling the others will continue to step up. Unfortunately we may need to wait till next season where "addition by subtraction" might make us better. I hate to think that the seniors are having that kind of inverse impact on the team, but it's up to them to fix it, if they can. [/QUOTE]
