Message: [QUOTE="HopJim, post: 5156994, member: 6986"] 1. Letting Chen be Chen. The Player of the Year in the Ivy League can shoot and make plays but seems to be remaking herself as a defensive specialist. On days when Paige is doubled, we need another outside shooter. Wouldn't mind if Morgan took more shots as well. 2. More give and goes where the guard cuts to basket for a pass and layup. Other teams are playing our shooters very tight and physical. One of the first years where this has not been a tactic to keep the defense honest. 3. Let Ice shoot the mid-range shot. With Jana primarily a down low offensive player (who seems to still be missing a lot of layups), we can't let the defense sag on everyone else and clog the middle and take away Strong's drives. Not sure what Geno's message has been to Ice but when open at 10-12 feet, she can make shot. The defensive tactics of the better teams is fairly obvious. Play Paige and Strong very physically, sag off Ice and when in, Jana and KK, and hope the others miss. When the refs let the defenders hammer Paige, seems like everyone else slows down on offense.
