Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 3602427, member: 26"] I wanted to share this video that was on the BY a while ago - showing Shea teaching defense. I love it not because it necessarily shows compassion, but as intense as she is, she takes time out for each player, stopping the drill when they need some real 1 on 1, and when they do it right, it's all "good good good!!!!" I think she is an excellent teacher and it's just one example of a small part of defense that UCONN teaches and works on. People often get "down" (not you, just an observation) on Geno for being "critical" of players. But Shea is an extension of Geno, and he's a TREMENDOUS teacher. He gets ON players when they are lazy, or short change their gifts, as his goal is to make them the best player they can be, even better than they thought they could be. Megan "great box out!"... Kyla "OOOooooh Kyla - you gotta box out". Gabby "Do it again and watch how she moves her feet - take little steps so when he makes his move, she's ready". Etc. etc... They were playing against the guy practice players - what a terrific way to get them prepared against quick and athletic players... [MEDIA=youtube]0HsYANjPY_Y[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
