Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 1994485, member: 3535"] 1-- NO!!!! :):) I am not mad when I say this. I hope you don't take it that way. But what you are suggesting goes 100% away from what Geno and CD have coached their entire careers IMO. I can remember one time coming back from a game in Storrs and we had CD on - I forget the question - but she said "[B]We don't want to react to other teams. We want them to react to us."[/B] [U]There is no reason to change your lineup if you are the best.[/U] [B]Let the other team react to you[/B]. If it doesn't work out, then you can bring in your bench. That's why they are there. But don't go changing who you are. [B]Challenge the other team to match up to you.[/B] 2-- If they "earn it" in practice it has nothing to do with mix and match, does it? In other words, the players that "earn it" are outperforming the others, aren't they? So I guess it comes down what does "earn it" mean for you? The ones who "earn it" should start and play more minutes. Isn't that what "earn it" "means?" 3-- Why not start what most of the board thinks - [B]Stevens, Collier, Lou, Gabby and Kia[/B]? [U]This lineup can play vs any team, can't it[/U]? You want to change this incredible lineup -- as you put it "wonderful talent"- to "match-up" with another team? In other words, -- [I]Why not force "Baylor" to defend our lineup and see if we could run them out of they gym early on by using our best players from the opening tip?[/I] As our lead builds, we have a bench that can sustain it, so then put them in after we build the lead or if a player or two isn;'t playing "well enough to Geno standards"- then sub. [B]But let the other team react to our best, not vice-versa.[/B] [/QUOTE]
