Message: [QUOTE="UConnNick, post: 3074960, member: 1526"] Your premise was that the coaching staff are not great teachers. It's more than appropriate to counter that notion with their overall record, which is the best ever in women's college BB at the highest level of competition. They must have taught most of their players pretty damn well during the past 34 years. Now you choose to try and distinguish that position by creating a strawman argument that their record has nothing to do with ONO's lack of development. As for your argument, she's still a freshman who's had limited opportunities for playing time this season. If you want to suggest she's behind where she should be in her development because of that, fine, however it's pretty difficult to buy your argument that Geno and Chris are not great teachers based on their overall record. They've apparently managed to effectively teach the hundreds of players that have worn the national flag blue and white under their watch for 34 years, and they will succeed in teaching ONO what she needs to become more effective and successful at her position. With freshmen it takes time and experience. She's obviously much improved with increased playing time recently. She may even improve to your satisfaction regarding the pick-and-roll basics you mention at some point. That improvement may come fairly soon now that she has firmly cemented herself as part of a seven player rotation. I'll agree to disagree with you regarding the teaching capabilities of Geno, Chris and the coaching staff, with no further comment. [/QUOTE]
