Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5150382, member: 9844"] Rather than a play to run in a game, I would like to see the team focus on feeding the post in practice, post moves, and passing out of the post. I don't think Ice even seems to want the ball in the post, and when she does get it she tends to fall away too much and spin to the basket too little. In essence develop more of a low post game for her. A bigger issue is working on getting the ball to Jana. She clearly does want it down low, and has more low post potential, but also has some rough edges. She tries to force up a shot when doubled down low too often. Uconn unlike many programs, expects their bigs to be good passers, and that is currently a weakness for Jana. With her drilling on getting it to her, making quick decisive decisions when she gets it, a move to score or a quick pass as she sees a double coming, needs to become like muscle memory or instinctive. When that happens in practice incorporate it more as a strategy in the game. I think Geno works largely on the chemistry between his main players, but elevating low post play from Ice and Jana, particularly Jana, might be the one area that could produce the greatest improvement in the team, and Jana could join the top player group.
