Post game thoughts...

Unfortunately, to me, that does not seem to be practicing at game speed, and therefore not going to help her take it into a game. Yeah the hand eye stuff is good for general feel, but ...
(And I love what Natalie is doing in games so I am just picking at nits.)

First you go slow for the mechanics and then you ramp it up after the first 5000 repetitions. But, that is not a baby hook move ... at least not yet.

Gotta disagree Carnac. They are intensely seeking to win, and in the process the identity will emerge. Nothing desperate about this crew. They are through deferring and doing a good job of finding their way.

Disagree if you will. I said that because I figured they are sick and tired of still hearing references about the big 3. We are still doing it. Radio & TV announcers are still making those references. I asked a question on another thread: " how far into the season will this team have to go, before big 3 references are no longer made"? No doubt the players on this team want the credit for whatever adversity they overcome. I have made a conscious decision not to make any more references to the big 3 the rest of the season. Of course they want to win every game. They're already on record saying that they are not conceding anything. When I stop reading comments about the big 3, then I'll stop making these types of comments. If someone wants to comment on the big 3 , so be it. I don't try and tell posters how/what to write.

Crystal wears glasses off the court? Does she wear contacts during the game?

As you say, basketball is a contact sport.
