Message: [QUOTE="leepaul, post: 5169224, member: 13308"] There may be those who have never played, or coached, the game. But, surely those on BY should know that basketball is first and foremost a team sport. Accordingly, the collective skill level of your players is not the sole measure of the potential success of your team. Does the team have character? On an individual level, does a given player have leadership qualities? Is she positive, upbeat, supportive, unselfish, approachable... does she have a team first attitude? Or- is she in it for herself first.... is she already looking for the portal .... does she try to set herself apart from the team by calling attention to herself?. Does she want to be a celebrity, a drama queen or a loyal teammate? Fortunately, the UCONN roster is replete with team players- Sarah Strong is one of the most preeminent examples. She has an excellent skill level- and her attendant character attributes elevate her to the superstar level. .That was my point. It was stated above that I took a “cheap shot”- (though the comment was not posted to me.) I took no cheap shot- if there was a cheap shot- it came from someone else. [/QUOTE]
