Message: [QUOTE="militarydog, post: 3805434, member: 9841"] I listened to the post game press conference and Coach McCray-Penson said she was concerned with the flat footed shots and that we had too many times we had to walk up the ball instead of pushing it like she wants. She said she needs to look at whether she is practicing too hard and taking their legs for games. She also spoke of the lack of numbers specifically X Wiggins (who wasn’t medically cleared this game and last). The concerning part about the first statement is I would expect a seasoned coach to have a better grasp of pacing practice versus games. Maybe it is a matter of learning her personnel. In general this team needs to learn to stomp on the throat when a team is down 15. This happened against Florida. In contrast she is starting to sit some players not playing well. At the end of the game he had J Carter, R Jackson, M Hayes, A Matharu, and M Taylor and that made the difference. A Matharu and M Hayes are starting to get more and more consistent. Finally, it is almost like she is tightening the grip on the team offensively. They are being very deliberate and running a lot of clock before taking a shot. It’s not just passing around around the perimeter and jacking up a prayer but it is obvious she is running a play late in the shot clock. [/QUOTE]
