Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 2763998, member: 591"] I find it interesting to read this discussion, because it mirrors past discussions about Rutgers players on the RU board, specifically - - the quick hook given players who "mess up", although, as someone implied in this thread, it isn't really for a player missing a shot, it would be for taking a shot that wasn't a good play. Even more likely for Vivian, messing up a defensive assignment. - issues with playing time - in general, many fans are not able to assess the plus and minus aspects of individual players, at least how they affect a given game situation. I'm sure the coach can err, but I'm equally sure they have a reason for how they play a given player. And choose a zone or man-to-man defense, etc. As to your subject that devolved into the last game of last year (which I have never commented on, and certainly don't remember in detail) I will say that it has often seemed to us that Geno's coaching isn't at its best when UConn is feeling heat - as in struggling. Which is very seldom, of course. The same argument has been made about CVS, and much more frequently - basically, when it goes off the rails, she doesn't do a good job of "righting the ship" (mixed metaphor, huh!). But that's my comment, for whatever its worth. [/QUOTE]
