Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 5325234, member: 3834"] I would have thought so too but all during this time A’ja Wilson has been absolutely killing it! I still think Phee will win but It could get uncomfortably close if Phee misses much more time. Speaking of Wilson, can anyone explain why teams are not doubling or even tripling her, taking the ball out of her hands etc? If I were coaching against her and she’s routinely putting up 30+ points, I would absolutely sell out and make everyone else beat me! I might lose anyway but there is [B]no[/B][I] way I’m letting her put up 35 & 17 with 12-13 free throws! And yet, I never see them even trying that? I don’t get it! Wilson is definitely not my cup of tea but you cannot deny she is an unbelievable player and you simply cannot play her one on one! Of course, maybe she would [B]still[/B] put up big numbers even through double teaming etc but I would at least [B]try [/B]to keep the ball out of her hands. I’ll bet she wouldn’t be scoring 35/16/4 w/ 12 fts against a Geno coached team! He would make everyone else beat him. Or, he would let her have hers and shut down the others. The material point being, he would try [B]something![/B] Frankly, I just don’t think the WNBA coaches are very good. There [B]are [/B]a few, I suppose, but most of them seem to be pretty bad. When I see Boston, Howard etc setting screens for Clark and then routinely pulling out/breaking for the basket [B]before[/B] there’s [B]any[/B] contact, I just have to wonder what Stephanie White is watching? Or when Mitchell, McDonald, Howard, absolutely ignore the wide open, unguarded Sophie Cunningham (when Cunningham was on a streak of shooting 60% from three) ditto Clark when she was healthy, I just have to wonder if she just doesn’t know how to coach? [B]Go Phee![/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
