Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 5033026, member: 9844"] I was overall pleased with Sarah's performance, but was surprised and disappointed in the minutes in the final. During the tournament distributing minutes fairly equally among the whole team was possible because of blowouts, and perhaps strategic (more rest for key players) since these were many games back to back. I thought when we got to Canada we would see what the coaching staff really thought, and that the minutes would go to the players they thought were best. From that standpoint it appears they had Sarah behind Betts and Edwards, which is disappointing. An alternative explanation might be because of ball handling and passing. Without Heckel in the lineup the second unit needed a distributor and the other point guard was not that impressive in this tournament in my opinion. Regardless we saw great passing, great rebounding, three point range, quick hands on defense, solid interior position defense, but not looking like a big time shot blocker, outlet passes and the ability to bring the ball up court on the break. Low post scoring and a mid range game I would like to see more of, and in terms of position, she played like a 3 on offense, but was comfortable underneath as a 4 on defense. We need her to be a 4 on the defensive end, and if she plays quite a bit on the perimeter on offense that can work as long as we have someone who is a consistent low post threat. I think Jana can be that and a high/low with Sarah and Jana seems promising, but of course Jana likes to play some on the periter too. [/QUOTE]
