Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4272879, member: 7511"] A couple comments on Tara. She is a great coach who hates to lose, like most great coaches, and likely hates to lose to Geno more than anyone else. Some coaches are very good at hiding their disappointment after a loss. Clearly, Tara isn’t one of them. One thing I did notice is that Tara kept experimenting with lineup changes, even into the 4th qtr, as if she was grasping for some combination that might turn it around. Stanford played 11 players, many of whom contributed very little. Tara’s most questionable substitution occurred when she inserted Iriafan into the game in the 4th qtr. A freshman who had not played a single minute, played just one minute, during which she fouled Liv who converted a huge 3-pt play at a critical point in the game. It’s not just players who make mistakes when they’re under pressure. Down the stretch of yesterday’s national semifinal game, Tara made several questionable decisions. [/QUOTE]
