Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2994493, member: 1131"] I think that you have identified an issue that she has had since she arrived in Storrs. Probably she has had it since high school and never needed to address it because of the light competition that she faced then. I certainly don't think it is anything that the coaches are encouraging -- more likely they are trying to break her of that habit. I remember the game against Louisville last year when, after getting in the game in the second quarter and setting some nice screens for Lou's shots, she failed to box out an opponent and gave up a second-chance basket. Geno pulled her from the game soon afterwards, which some people here saw as more evidence of his unfairness to her. It was just another instance of tough love. I think her play this year is light years beyond her play last year. I notice steals and hustle plays this year that we never saw last year. But you can't expect her to vanquish all of her bad habits in half a season. Geno has said that all he really wants to see is consistent improvement from game to game, and I think he means that. I also think that Megan is delivering that. [/QUOTE]
