Message: [QUOTE="Papa33, post: 3841015, member: 682"] Unlike some amateur couch coaches, I'm not about to argue with Geno's coaching and strategies, but I am wondering why in today's game (and in several other recent games) he's had our two "bigs," Liv and Aaliyah, set up about 18'-20' from the basket. Since neither is really a serious threat to hit a high percentage of those shots-- not yet, at least-- the opponents sag to the basket, clogging up the lane and making cuts there and along the baseline difficult. Not many of such cuts executed successfully tonight vs SC. Am I missing some strategic advantage opened up by that strategy. When Gabby played that game, she set up barely above the foul line where she became a real threat for jump shots, which made it necessary for opponents to come out that far. Then backdoor/baseline cuts did open up. Also, from the foul line, Gabby often faked a shot and made a one-dribble layup. Just wondering. [/QUOTE]
