Message: [QUOTE="HuskyFan1125, post: 2421317, member: 446"] Well I bit and listened. First I would like to give them props on having a show where they talk about women's basketball. More and more podcasts are cropping up and its a good thing. They have the right idea and some of the content is good. That being that a few things somewhat bothered me. He talked about how dreadful it is that Z is coming off the bench and not starting. For an AAU coach he seems to put way more emphasis on who starts than minutes played. I have been following the sport for 20 years and there have been many great players that dont start but get plenty of minutes. Starter minutes in fact. Caroline Doty started but Bria Hartley came off the bench and she was an AA. Dawn Staley brought Aja Wilson and Alaina Coates off the bench when they were freshman and sophomore yet they were the leading scorers. I dont think who starts matters. Who is in the game at the end. And anyway Z stated she was fine with coming off the bench as it allowed her "see the game" prior. He also mentioned about GA not playing Batouly. If he was actually paying attention he would have seen her dressed in street clothes and the brace on her knee rather than assuming she just didnt play. Another topic that annoyed me was fact he talks about how GA is living off transfers. Really?? Z and Batouly this season and we had Natalie Butler a couple of seasons ago. And before that??? I don't know maybe Jess McCormack (2005??). Its not like UCONN is transfer city. However some of his favorites: South Carolina won a national championship with transfers (Gray and Davis) and start 2 more this season (Alexis Jennings & Lindsey Spann--not to mention Tea Cooper potentially in December) or a school from his home state FSU. The Seminoles made it to an E8 with Leticia Romero, Chatrice White, & Imana Wright. They added AJ Alix this season and will get Kiah Gillespie available next season. Ok.. Thats enough.. Like I said I enjoy listening to shows on wcbb because i am a fan but sometimes things need to be put in perspective rather than just going off on tangents to satisfy inner conflicts. [/QUOTE]
