I know that this subject was discussed recently, please forgive...I'm late to the party...again.
In re-watching a few of last season's games (even the season prior)
It appears that the fine art of keeping your man (sic) or your switch assignment directly in front of you was
not quite the priority it is this season
or it had slacked off a bit.
For very good reason...namely the presence of Kiah Stokes and /or Breanna Stewart.
You funneled the victims inside and whammo...
This season the aforementioned fine art is being polished to a fine hue.
At its best, switching is smooth as silk and defenders are glued to their opponent as if connected by magnetic impulse.
Meanwhile, Gabby and Pheesa have improved their formidable technique in the blocking dept. (w/o fouling)
by leaps and bounds (sorry about that).
And now, a new presence is emerging; the elegant Ms Samuelson is joining the party.
Who would have thought that such mundane, blue-collar duty would interest a California girl?
But with a little encouragement from the staff, this sinewy, tall person is beginning to derive pleasure
from swatting away the shots of the opposition as well as (gasp) searching the horizon for rebounds.
The combined efforts of those three are beginning to resemble certain episodes I clearly recall.
With all these pieces coming together, the possibility exists that this team's D may eventually equal, indeed surpass that of former Husky outfits of recent memory And if Ms. D transforms to a ball-hawk in the Jeffersonian tradition (Is not coach harping on this?): # 12 is in the bag.
