Message: [QUOTE="BlueSkyGLW, post: 4238527, member: 11281"] I don't disagree with having those post players on the team but when you don't have them, you have to put players in the position where they can succeed as a team because that's all you have. In this case, his best option was to play a 5'11" guard at both center and playmaker. How many games did they lose during that time? A total of two. And, in both cases, they were on the brink of NCs but lost on last-second shots. How many teams can say that - even UConn teams with Dolson, Lobo and Tina during the time they didn't win it in their 4-year stay, some when they had deeper benches? To restate the point: it is not always essential to have those kind of post players - a different set of players designed with a modified UConn way of playing can get you there. I cited Gabby because she represented the most dramatic departure from your thesis of a big post player being essential (you implied). [/QUOTE]
