Message: [QUOTE="The CDR-Ret, post: 5031193, member: 10751"] I'm not sure that we know either of the points you made (fewer minutes requested or injuries) but rather the coaches may be saving her for the games that matter (semi-finals and finals). Let's think on the positive side here [Aways lLook on the bright Side of Life comes to mind].... Analogous to wrestling, where we coach to use your fourth best takedown to set up your 3rd best takedown, and then use your third best takedown to set up you second best, and then pin them out That way you don't have to show how your 2nd best takedown sets up your best takedown until the finals (if then), which makes it undefendible as so few people have seen it - even in this 100% video 24/7 kind of world we live in today. In the State Finals (or NCAA finals) it will take all four in series (without slowing down to think - must just react with extremely small reaction time to pressure changes (not what you see as that is too slow), and take what they are giving as well as making the react to you doing something they very rarely see you doing in actual matches. Play with speed beyond what the opponents can handle, as UConn finally has bench strength, maintain speed through substitutions (multiple at one time) so the other team needs to adjust WHILE the speed of the game is overwhelming and just keeps getting faster & more overwhelming. Kind of what the Gys did this past year on the way to back-to-back titles. You can't "give 110%" of your own capacity, but you CAN gperform well beyond 110% of your opponent's capacity (as individuals or as a team; on each play (defense or offense) or quarter ro in a game)! Go Huskies! [/QUOTE]
