Message: [QUOTE="MilfordHusky, post: 2558815, member: 366"] I'm going to stay away from the contentiousness here and offer just a few thoughts. Z is a very good player, but she is still a finesse player and not yet at the level Geno wants. She doesn't take full advantage of her height, nor is she a great defender. I think it shows Z and others that she has room to improve. I believe that she knows she can very much benefit from another year at UConn, being coached by Geno et al. and playing with Pheesa et al. I hope she stays and gets much closer to her potential. She is a great kid and overall is having fun, despite some criticism and frustration. Last night's game was a tough situation. With a huge partisan crowd and the recent history of the Missouri game, the officials may have called the game more closely than otherwise. I also truly believe that A'ja Wilson gets the benefit of the doubt on many calls. To me, the only foul that UConn players were called for on Wilson in the first half that was merited was the one where she and Z had their arms tangled. I thought the others were bogus calls. (I should note that I saw 2 fouls called on S.C. that looked like phantom calls as well.) A'ja is the type of player who is difficult for Azura, and A'ja gets calls all the time. I'm not going to judge Z or Megan harshly for 4 fouls apiece last night. That was a unique situation. [/QUOTE]
