Message: [QUOTE="KCD, post: 5168840, member: 12125"] I disagree with you about statistics being who you are as a player. The game is about so much more than stats. Stats can be misleading and your attitude and fire for the game are as important. Somebody like KK can dominate a game on the defensive end alone and end up with very few stats. Jana has that fire and intensity and that drive to be the best player that she can be. She wants to help the team and her teammates any way that she can. There are several posters that stated it very well. She has a lot of skills and has improved dramatically over the first half of the season. If she keeps developing at half that speed for the rest of the season she will provide what we need her to provide for the tournament. I want to address a few people that are blaming players missing bunnies on the coaches because has been happening for years. It’s been happening for years because UConn keeps getting freshmen. What happens by the time these players are sophomores, juniors, and then seniors? They miss less and less bunnies and they play more and more. A lot of them end up being AA players and even more make it to the W. That is because of the coaching. I’ve been watching the program for decades because I enjoy watching excellence. And UConn Women’s bball is the epitomy of excellence. Geno and CD still do it better than anyone else (although there are some young coaches that I believe are doing it very well - Dawn S for instance). I understand that they are not perfect, but this is certainly not something that should be blamed on the coaches. [/QUOTE]
