This is not aimed at you but rather the larger ”Muhl and her fouls” many posters. Muhl is obviously an extremely aggressive defender, she lines up ball handlers for steals and has very quick hands. To me at least, it is very obvious that aggression rubs off on her teammates and has a tangible affect on team defense. The downside of that aggression, especially going for steals, is being called for fouls; you can’t have both. She had three fouls last night, one of them what appeared to be an utterly ridiculous call on the 3 on 1 break. I say appeared to be because I did not see a replay so she may have done something after passing not apparent to me live.
Anyway, this generally is a non-issue to me, mostly because I think the upside far outweighs the down and I think she has shown she can play intelligently with fouls if the situation calls for it.
