Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 4341235, member: 12088"] She is big, strong and quick. And she blocks shots like Bill Russell -- no big swat, just a tap so she can grab the ball. That's takes a lot of self-control. Still, the question is whether she's coachable in respect to other dimensions of her game. She clearly likes to run, and she likes to dribble the ball up the court. I suspect in US D1 ball, if the guards didn't just pick her pocket at half court, she'd get called for traveling... A LOT. Also, she shuffles her feet on almost every post move. And she fouls a lot by US standards. Nika complains bitterly about this same thing. Anyway, none of this is a disaster in a 16 year old. But it underlines how much she needs coaching. If she can't accept coaching, she's no use to us. [/QUOTE]
