I agree Fudd’s shot volume was by Auriemma’s design.  I am uncertain what the purpose was, but more certain what it was not.

Fudd is not a reluctant shooter.  Her shots per minute has always been high for a UConn player, while her assists per minute for a UConn guard has been low.  Has she passed up shots? Absolutely, as has every great UConn player, with the possible exception of M. Moore (her career spg was over 18, 2 shots higher than any other player’s season high).  They pass up the occasional shot because they are trained in an efficient team offense to take the best shot.

Which might explain the lower shooting percentage for Fudd in that game.  The training for high efficiency offense was overridden which led to shots Fudd did not take psychologically in the flow for her.  Though every shooter has bad games, I doubt we will ever see a 9/31 stat line from any UConn player in a real game.  I do not know what Auriemma’s purpose was, I just know he is a great coach while Fudd does not have a reluctance to shoot problem.
