We may have had a hint about that from Geno a couple of weeks ago concerning Caroline being frustrated and distracted internally by her inability to play the way she was used to doing. Her internal struggle may be distracting her from that role.Numerous threads here over the past few months would have given one the indication that Caroline Doty was and is supposed to be that leader this season. What has happened?
What ????It would be hard for someone with physical challenges like C Doty to be a vocal leader. I wonder if Kelly Faris can take up the slack. Hartley is still learning the offensive and defensive schemes.
Very close to truth, Scotter.Geno plays this motivational card nearly every year. Nothing to be overly concerned about. Just something for them to think about over break.
It's just the growth needed in a young team. Scarey? Nah. Unusual with a young (yes they are young) team? Not at all.Kelly Faris agrees.
“We don’t have a specific vocal leader, the kind of person who will sit there and call someone out,” Fairs said. “That’s been this team’s downfall so far. Coach is right. Holding each other accountable would mean so much more. That is something a few of will need to start doing.
“We respect Coach, we know what he says is right. But apparently, some people aren’t responding to him. So maybe a teammate needs to get into a face and tell them this is how it’s going to be. We will work on that after the break.”
This comment scares me a little.

He expressed that concern last year because Maya could be so quiet.I cannot recall his doing this anytime recently.

In the middle of a game, yes, in practice often necessary and must be directed at the right things. Accountability is what you want.Players calling out other players? Bad sign.

I think people are underrating how big a role Dolson's been asked to take on this year. Often times she's the lone post player in the game, and trying to control the paint and boards by yourself - especially against the likes of Stanford and Baylor - is a huge task (no pun intended).Which is so strange because at the beginning of the season Geno basically said she was the leader of the team as a sophomore. None of them seem to have the personality to do that...Tiff is quiet, Kelly leads by example, Bria does a bit but also leads with her play...maybe KML next season will, she seems to be feisty...I don't know, it could be a problem. I wonder who isn't responding to Geno?
Where did someone call out someone specifically? Can you expand on "bad sign"?This is not in practice or a game. It's in the media. Bad sign.
Here is the quote in context to the discussion of the issue. Not sure I'd label it calling someone out.This is not in practice or a game. It's in the media. Bad sign.
