Lot of stuff to respond to.  For the record, I was not suggesting that you personally played rec league ball, but rather was speaking of a generic rec league player having lots of time to put up a shot.

As for your comment about Lou’s shot being difficult to block, I agree, but blocking her shot and defending her shot are two different things.  Last year vs SC, 5’11” Alisha Gray held Lou to 2-12 shooting (0-5 from 3) by chasing her all over the court and getting up under her when she attempted a shot.

Finally, for the record, I played a lot of basketball all the way through college back in the 60’s & 70’s when a group out of Essex was topping the charts with songs like, “30 Days in the Hole” & “Natural Born Bugie.”

Basketball was a different game back then.  Great post players, that did most of their work within 5 feet of both baskets, dominated the game.  There was no 3-pt shot.  Today, it’s all about quickness and athleticism.  Big slow posts are dinosaurs.

Spreading the floor, moving the ball and catching the ball and releasing shots quickly, and accurately, is what it’s all about.

And thank you for wishing me a nice day.  The same to you.
