Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5300078, member: 12088"] This is a good take on Caitlin. And I agree that she is underrated as a defender. I remind myself of a fast break when she stole the ball from Christyn and I’ve never seen anyone do that. Maybe she doesn’t focus on defense enough, but that’s a coaching issue and not necessarily a fair critique of her game. I’m also beginning to share your view that she’s more in the mold of a combo guard than a PG, which means the best comparison for her may be Diana, rather than Sue or Sloot. This might also make it easier to make sense of her on court persona, which shares a bit of Diana’s in-your-face flavor. Your tail-wagging metaphor is probably just about right. And it suggests the difficulty of coaching a team with this sort of player. I feel for Stephanie White. When you have a transcendent star, it can often limit your options whether you like it or not. I suspect Lindsay Gottlieb is stuck in a similar sort of bind with Juju. [/QUOTE]
