Message: [QUOTE="hjoerring, post: 3450474, member: 3630"] I would be surprise if an elite basketball (or another) player can suddenly lose their skills. Stewart's situation was radically different. She was unproven and lacked a number of things, and was a freshman. CW is a soph who has shown that she can perform on the big stage. I cannot imagine that she has suddenly become de-skilled. I'm not knowledgeable enough to see what the coaches cannot see. But, she is on the floor, not only bec there are no others, because other things are being done to help the team: rebounding, commanding attention, etc. Plus, all it takes is one game and things are back in place. I believe she is also playing a different position where rebounding and defending are premiums. If this is true, she might be finding it difficult to start her offensive game or getting into flow from around the basketball. This is a double edge sword for a lot of players. They may play all positions in H.S., another one or two in college, and the latter they cannot possibly play in the WNBA. Gabby is a good example. So is Lou (maybe?), and Pheesa (and others) had to learn another position. I like what Geno keeps saying: 'It's really harder than you think.' But there is no reason why we shouldn't blame them; after all, they made it looked easy. [/QUOTE]
