Message: [QUOTE="Bald Husky, post: 4181386, member: 11020"] I posted on the "Concerns" thread that we needed to work on the chemistry of the guards with Azzi back and Paige due back pretty soon. That was evident tonight as Caroline took 13 shots ( with a lot of time on the bench), and Azzi took only 6. My issue isn't that Caroline took 13 shots, but she took so many bad shots. A couple of times I was yelling at the TV saying, "What the hell was that"? Azzi was open a couple of times when Caroline forced a shot, so she has to realize that she is not DT, and with more shooters available that she is not the only option. We play for the best shot, and sometimes you can't forget that there are now more options. I'm sure she will learn to look around as she plays more with these other guards, but of course I also do not want her to lose her aggressiveness. Geno did the right thing to bench her, and I hope Caroline Doty explained that to her when she came out. Playing within our system has proved to work. Evina and Christyn did that and played very well, so now the freshmen have to learn that before we get to the tournament, and as Herb Brooks said to his young hockey team, "you can't win on talent alone". The sooner Paige gets back the better so they can work on that. . [/QUOTE]
