Wow, post #299. Just a couple of things that (remarkably) have not been mentioned in the prior 298 posts:
1. Just jamming you thumb stays painful for a couple of weeks. Breaking it? Let's face it you need to good hands to catch hard passes and fight for rebounds. Only Dorks knows how much it still hurts. This is her last year, I'm sure she wants to be in there (which is why she opted for the additional year), so it must still be painful. A splint might prevent additional injury, but I bet it doesn't do much for the pain.
2. Lazy (slow) passes when the defense is playing tight and picking up your dribble (dumb to begin with) and none of the other 4 players running to the ball should be easily fixable, even at the CYO level.
3. I thought the backcourt was backcourt when I saw it in real time. In any event it was way too close. No need for that, a mental mistake.
