Message: [QUOTE="Papa33, post: 2989529, member: 682"] [QUOTE=" Mikayla Coombs (11.6 min) [sees] time on the court. So the young players are getting into games. Mikayla may not get into tight games because she a liability on offense. She’s actually been on the court several minutes before I’ve noticed her in a game because she hasn’t impacted it in any way, something Geno does not want. Mikayla gets the same coaching as everyone else so I assume she’s deferring to the upperclassmen. If so, she needs to get over that. ,,, The one that puzzles me is Batouly (5.8 min). She just seems like a Div I player to me and nothing she’s done has been bad, she just seems raw. I don’t know if it’s a physical issue but she makes me think of the wonderful Brittany Hunter whose physical limitations kept her minutes down.[/QUOTE] Mikayla looks very athletic and active on defense; plenty of effort and only occasional positional lapses. On offense, she seems to play too fast, puts the ball on the floor too quickly. Her offensive options seem to hearken back to her high school period: drive hard, partly out of control, to the basket and toss up an off balance shot. I'd advise her to take her foot off the accelerator, pull up for a short jumper or look for an open teammate. Eyes only, Batouly in the last two games seemed healthier and quicker, but, yes, still a bit "raw." Good quickness and real spring in her legs. If she can stay healthy, she could really help by staying out of foul trouble and using her sho 15' and in. And, of course, rebounding. Just has to stay healthy-- fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
