Hoopfan22:  I think you understand quite well what the writer meant by "short-staffed".  When you are essentially playing five players for the following minutes per game:

Aliyah Edwards - 33.5 minutes
Lou Lopez-Senechal - 32.3 minutes
Dorka Juhasz - 34.2 minutes
Aubrey Griffin - 32.6 minutes 
Nika Muhl - 36.5 minutes

Our sixth player Caroline Ducharme is averaging 24.8 minutes per game

And, our remaining 3 players are only averaging:  Patterson - 10.8 minutes per game: DeBerry - 8.7 minutes and Bettencourt - 9.4 minutes and between them they only average 6 points and 5 rebounds per game...I guess it is fair to say that we essentially have a 6 player roster with 3 fairly non-productive role players on the bench...  I would say that this circumstance basically qualifies us as a team that is short-staffed.  Adding Fudd to the active player list would essentially give us 7 players and while it would provide UConn with additional options it still leaves us short-handed with regards to players who can be impactful.
