Message: [QUOTE="Dokey, post: 3410982, member: 9636"] I see a gradual build up. Increasing her minutes in a game as her overall play improves, pulling her when youthful mistakes hurt might hurt team and her confidence and then coaching her on bench and the following practice. I have coached hundreds of girls and the trick is teaching fundamentals and building confidence to match skills. In high school, I suspect the coaching may have come down to, “Go win us the game, kid.” There are plenty of games to get her ready. I realize that some of you think she was there on day one. I had parents like that. They were usually wrong. Coaches with a thousand plus victories whose players can be found on almost every WNBA team who see the players everyday, who pour over hours of film, just might know more. And coaches with a thousand wins don’t keep players on the bench who can get them the thousand and one win. But I am glad to see you champion here. Great kid. [/QUOTE]
