Message: [QUOTE="Tonyc, post: 2998881, member: 73"] Well we have seen some progress over the past couple of games. Molly and Kyla the other day showed signs of confidence and they were rewarded last nite with more playtime. Both played very well. MW a great nite last nite and that great big smile will change her. I found coaching girls if you can put a smile on their face they play well. A smile relaxes them and as we have seen breeds confidence and confidence leads to good things. Against ND we needed somebody to step up and CW did that. Against USF we saw our non starters step up especially Kyla and Molly. Last nite we needed somebody to step up and MW did that. We have seen some positive signs during this slump. Our shooting is way off. Maybe Geno needs to take the team to the movies and get their minds off what they're doing. It seems to be in their heads and maybe theyre thinking to much. Maybe theyre thinking to much about mechanics instead of just shooting the ball. There were times that it seemed we couldnt throw the ball in the ocean. IMO the best way to fix that is start from 3 ft from the basket and shoot shots and then moving 3 paces back and shoot more and continue moving back 3 paces until you reach the 3 pt line. How many shots should you shoot. You shoot until you feel the confidence set in. You do it as long as it takes. We are in a shooting slump right now and it cant get any worse. The good news is it can only get better. What bothers me is the turnovers our guards are making. To many TO's. We need to dribble penetrate more and take more shots from inside the arc. We are missing to many wide open long range shots. As poorly as we shot the ball from deep last nite we won on their court by over 40. Thats very impressive to me. The defense was there. We are slowly getting out of our slump. We are too talented to be playing this poorly offensively. The good news is we are seeing signs of improvement from Kyle Molly and Megan. I hope its contagious. The really good news is are poor shooting cant get any worse and can only get better. When things turn around and we clear our minds from all the garbage that we're thinking about and we regain our confidence, focus and poise we are gonna be unbeatable again. [/QUOTE]
