Message: [QUOTE="HopJim, post: 3004125, member: 6986"] Overall, not very concerned with "slump." HEAVY travel surrounding finals and holiday break don't always lend itself to sharp play. Most are using Temple and other recent games as ammunition, but I look at it and say this is about as poorly as UConn plays and overall we are averaging about 85-90 a game and limiting other teams to 60 or under. Yeah, just terrible ;) A few other thoughts: -I don't understand the UConn offense the past 4-5 games where there are a lot of drives that get within 4 feet of the basket to see the ball get rotated out 30 feet. Love 3 pointers but nothing wrong with layups and the fouls they draw. -Virtually everyone on the team shoots a high percentage from 10 feet but haven't seen any schemes to take advantage of this. Would be good tactic to get Katy Lou and Williams in sync. I see UConn getting mugged many games and not a big fan of relying so much on 3 pointers in playoffs (Exhibit A=Baylor). -I have coached AAU women's basketball and one of my shooting programs was to watch videos of KLS's shooting style. I pulled out a few older videos and she seems stiff and drifting on some shots. Suspect she is also watching as I am and that we will see a 30 point game shortly. -I saw an older video of Geno who spoke of the need for everyone, including the coach, to adjust their style each year based on competition, team makeup and a variety of other factors. The past 6 years Geno has had 4 National Titles followed by 2 undefeated seasons. There has been little reason to change so suspect he is struggling a bit to get in this mode again. No slight on Geno-normal for most teams. The fact UConn that UConn is rarely normal (meant in positive way) doesn't eliminate the need to change and how difficult it is. [/QUOTE]
