Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 4981020, member: 3535"] Well again I don't agree. I hope my post doesn't come across as mean. It is not meant to be. - Anyhow, I asked before to name the player’s Geno blew it with - with post play. You only spoke of Ice. Who else? Let's discuss them along with Ice? You are making a sweeping comment he has a quick hook (i.e. more than just Ice). You also said you wanted to see more "trail-and-error," -- yet if you think Geno is so stellar and you make other comment that you've seen other programs do it-- then why do you want to see something that overall is less stellar than what Geno is doing? After the 4-3 start, UCONN was 28-3. When you say "sink in" -- how is it that when you are on a roll like UCONN was, matter of fact when bracket announced they were on such a roll they were favored to go to FF- so how is it that you mention anything about Geno not instilling confidence? How could any of the 7 players that played, not have confidence when you saw the roll they were on? You may not want to touch [B]SC[/B] and [B]Stanford [/B]but I felt it needed to be addressed because you talking about lack of minutes for Brady, and Geno having a quick hook when in fact she [B]got more minutes than one[/B] and [B]slightly less than the other[/B]. And tehcomment about growth for Ice - and yet you saw how she performed late and you see that she got representative minutes that other star bigs have gotten in their 1st year, then how can you make a comment about more trial-and-error, and confidence when you see how well she did late and it compares to Cardoso and Brink? He gave no less of ahook to Ice vs these two. We went on to go 28-3 the last 31- it just so happens some players are going to play more. Please I don't mean to be mean-- I just believe the quick hook comment is mispresenting what the team needed. IMO Ice did well enough- in fact I've predicted she will start next year (ofc if they don’t get a transfer.) becuase of hwo she performed late. As a result, what you call a quick hook, I call a sound substitution without further trial-and-error needed. No need to emulate lesser successful teams (when you said "you've seen other teams do it.). So, I’m not arguing for argue sake—it's just that I saw Ice improve and am very happy about that,and I'm just wondering what you and other are seeing different vs what I saw?. :) You don't agree that she didn't improve? If she did- then ofc Geno gave her confidence, right? [/QUOTE]
