Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 4624102, member: 5798"] [B]I'll be looking to see if anyone criticizes her this summer.[/B] If they do, I can see Kim doing an imitation of Angel Reese: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1681331557789.png"]87279[/ATTACH] Fans have been "lambasting" her for years because she [U]routinely[/U] schedules teams ranked 270 and higher, i.e., cupcakes if you will. She did it at Baylor for years, now she's doing it at LSU. At one time I chastised her too, but then I began to look at it from a coach's point of view. That is when I began to see the benefits of a weak, non-competitive preseason schedule. Yes, there are benefits to playing weak schedules, Kim proved that this season. A weak schedule gives Kim 11 or so games to bring her new recruits/transfers up to speed on learning the plays and learning to play with their new teammates under different circumstances in a regulation game BEFORE conference play begins. There are some things you can't replicate in a practice session. So she uses games to do what she wants to be done. I've responded many times to folks who call Kim out for weak out-of-conference (OOC) schedules, that [B]those schedules work for her.[/B] I don't think Kim loses sleep at night worrying about what we think. Does she really look like that type of coach to you? :confused: Are those types of schedules "one size fits all", no. For reasons that are obvious if you are a UConn fan. Every coach in America likes to do things "THEIR" way, not Kim's way. ;) [/QUOTE]
