Nan, have been watching Ashlynn the past few games and I have the same question. Often open, she is regularly ignored. She often is guarded by the worst defender on the other team, making this more frustrating. Her shots typically come as the 4th or 5th option. Difficult to argue that she deserves the ball more than Edwards or Paige, but hoping that Geno has some plays for her when teams double up on our Big Two. Kudos to Ashlynn for always giving 125% effort all around the court whether she gets ball or not.

HopJim and the Nan post you replied to. It seems worse the last 5-6 games as far as Ash not getting the ball when she is wide open. As I pointed out in my post in the 3 things I want to see in the SH game, it has stood out to me that only as a last, last, last resort does KK pass the ball to Ash when AS is open. Surely if it stands out to me, the coaching staff must see it also . Maybe KK is following instructions to focus on getting her passes to PB and AE, but I'm more concerned that rather than make the pass to her sister-frosh, she throws up a bad shot in the paint or turns the ball over.

Geno (and CD) is a master ego educator... in time "I want to shine" grows into "How can I help them to shine."
