I wonder if some of the starters are staying on the floor as Geno plays with different combinations off the bench.  It seems that only in the last few minutes does he have all bench players on the court - possibly because until the last game it just hurt him to watch them play together!   First a bench player or two gets to play with a number of starters. Still some good structure for the newbies and a chance to see how they can mesh in a game situation with starters.  Then he keeps a starter (or Z) or two in with more benchers to keep things going.  Finally he takes off the "training wheels" and lets the benchers play together.  Previous to the last game, they tended to wobble and fall over a lot.  Now they have a fairly successful trip under their belts!

Lou only played 22 minutes and I suspect that Geno is having her practice playing with fouls.  Perhaps left her in towards the end to prove she could avoid another.  I was more concerned about her ankle when she was leaping on the sidelines celebrating the benchers' plays!
