Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 5220086, member: 7492"] Wait, what? The loss to TN DID NOT RESULT in Geno, changing ANY OF HIS STRATEGY regarding pressing or mass substitutions. Saying such is simply absurd on so many levels. No coach would divert from their schemes in the 5th month of a 6 month Season. The team was #1 in FG percentage at the time, is still #1, was #1 in assist to turnovers ratio at the time and finished #1.They finished #1 in scoring margin with their offense as #10, with scoring Defense at #4. I don’t think he gave one nano second of a thought about the mass substitutions TN did in regards to changing his scheme. What has changed is Paige has the ball in her hands more to create her own shot or to utilize screens and play with or through Sarah. Chen is playing more off ball to better utilize her mid-range game, her backboard shot skills and wide open 3 pt shots whenPaige drives. Geno has consciously told Paige to do more and she has. The TN game proved we needed the ball in her hands more AND THAT IS WHAT HE LEARNED. Not a new substitution pattern. But feel free to show me the drastic change in number of substitutions since or the evening out of minutes among more players as your evidence. [/QUOTE]
