Poor kid. I bet she spent some time in the whirlpool after the game.
Newcomers shine as South Carolina roars to exhibition win over Coker
Yes absolutely!!! When coaches talk to their players about "effort", and how they want them to exhibit it on the court, and give 110% for 40 minutes, the player on the LEFT could be the poster child as an example.
That folks is raw effort and determination on steroids. This is what a Coker "double team" looks like when done correctly. Gimme dat ball!!!
And just in case her efforts are unsuccessful, her teammate is attempting to "distract" the opponent. Although their technique needs a little polish, their grit and determination gets an A+. By the way, IMHO, the player on the right should have been accessed a flagrant 2, and sent to the showers. She's not making a play for the ball. As Charliebball correctly suggested, this folks is a mugging.
Story line - For roughly a minute, it was close: Seventy-eight seconds into the first quarter Friday, defending national champion South Carolina was tied 2-2 with Division II Coker. Then … things got out of hand (probably right after this play). Dawn Staley’s Gamecocks thrashed the Cobras 116-56 at Colonial Life Arena in their only exhibition game of the preseason.
After that 2-2 tie, USC went on a 40-4 run to close the first quarter, with the starting unit of forward A’ja Wilson, forward Alexis Jennings, and guards Tyasha Harris, Lindsey Spann and Doniyah Cliney blowing past Coker and scoring seemingly at will. Is this typical play in Division 2?
