Message: [QUOTE="cferraro04, post: 5161023, member: 267"] MilfordHusky, you should be careful about posting this kind of stuff. I wonder how long it will be before someone says that UConn failed her and she became the player she was meant to be after she left UConn. First and foremost, congratulations to both Gabby and Dorka for winning the outstanding player of their given situation...Gabby is for the Euro-league, and Dorka is for Hungary. I believe all players develop in their own time. Some come into their own in their freshman year of college others need more time. College coaches don't always have the luxury of putting each player on a team to be in the best situation for their personal development. Sometimes the needs of the team take priority and players frequently are asked to play out of position ie., Paige played the post last season, and DT moved to point guard from shooting guard. Sue Bird was a shooting guard made into a point guard. Both Gabby and Dorka benefitted from their tenure at UConn. The college game is much different than the pro game. Once you get to the WNBA coaches aren't able to always double-team the other team's best player...because many WNBA teams can hurt you from all five positions and you can't leave someone open to shut down the other team's best player. College coaches often employ the "cut off the head of the snake" strategy. [/QUOTE]
