Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5354414, member: 12088"] I agree on both counts. 6’2” players need to have a fall away shot. But at 6’4” a fall away can be more of a liability than an asset. It forfeits the chance of creating fouls through the inevitable contact, and with Olivia’s quick feet and release on those spin moves she is likely to generate a lot of fouls on opposing posts. And with her long arms (and they look really long to me) getting her shot off doesn’t look to be a problem. And the swatting thing drives me crazy. It’s what whistle happy refs look for. Merely nudging the ball upwards is often enough to force a miss and avoid a foul, and makes it possible to simply grab the ball a moment later. Sarah hardly ever swats and seems to understand this same thing intuitively. I’m not sure if Serah has this same wisdom yet. [/QUOTE]
