Message: [QUOTE="and one, post: 3553679, member: 10475"] Player's have the occasional great game all the time, including freshmen. Sometimes all the stars align, everything is easy and so fun. You think "Hey, I got it now. I'm unstoppable." Next game, you're wondering where that woman of steel went. My experience is that out of 100 games in 5 everything goes right, in 5 everything goes wrong, the rest are the real you. A real wall is having numbers and effectiveness drop as the season goes on. Could be better scouting, lack of conditioning, better competition, confidence erosion or a combination of factors. Even very good players go through their slumps. Most work their way through it and find ways to be useful. As has been said many times, there is no reason to have a defensive slump. There are a few that never find their way out if the wilderness, which is very sad. [/QUOTE]
