Message: [QUOTE="NycUcWbbFan, post: 5333215, member: 13453"] I think the [B][I]speed[/I][/B] we’re talking about here is also essentially what Sue [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/sue-bird-hall-of-famer.209118/post-5331802']articulated[/URL] (in a comical way) in her Naismith HoF speech. It is also what Dawn described previously as being a machine. Sue said that the best Geno advice on basketball was when he said “basketball is not a game of ‘how to’, but a game of ‘[B]when to[/B]’”. This is at the [B]heart[/B] of Geno’s metamorphosed schemes. He and CD try very hard to recruit players who they think will do well with these schemes (and not necessarily, say, tall and athletic players per a poster who had roster envy of another team last season). So, imagine 40 minutes of full-throttle symphonic stress-tested “basketball player” mix-match featuring this type of speedy perpetually recalibrating [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/kk-or-kayleigh-whos-your-guess.208999/post-5330211']team basketball[/URL]. As opposed to opponents’ frequently rigidly [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/uconn-stats-serah-williams-career-stats-are-really-impressive.209147/post-5332881']monochromatic[/URL] schemes. Serah’s arrival makes Geno’s schemes extra-lethal. Sarah’s and Serah’s advanced metrics ([URL='https://herhoopstats.com/stats/ncaa/player/sarah-strong-stats-11ef9e30-ba5d-bf7c-9a55-12df17ae4e1e/']Sarah[/URL] | [URL='https://herhoopstats.com/stats/ncaa/player/serah-williams-stats-11ed5ef6-3d48-7a70-965a-12df17ae4e1e/']Sera [/URL]| [URL='https://www.fromtherumbleseat.com/pages/advanced-basketball-statistics-formula-sheet']explainer[/URL]) &1 portend to a devastating complimentary combo at switchable 4/5 positions. But it is more than that. [LIST] [*]Sarah, perhaps the best D1 post passer, now has a great finisher; and Sera, a great passer herself, has a great finisher; [*]This, along with [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/heckel-to-uconn-merged-threads.207545/post-5284061']more bandwidth[/URL] and [B]Geno’s inimitable harping[/B] &2 on the most important postseason weaponization opportunities, will result in better practice iterations on improving post play including passing into and within the post — ergo a more lethal [URL='https://the-boneyard.com/threads/kk-or-kayleigh-whos-your-guess.208999/post-5327548']full-fledged[/URL] mix-match (a lead into next year with Olivia?); [*]Sarah, Sera and Blanca are this year’s analog to last year’s Paige and Azzi who were all crucial to all the mix-match lineups. [/LIST] &1 Including [URL='https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/serah-williams-1/splits/9999/']performance[/URL] against tough opponents. &2 Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Geno and CD will make sure the already quite-polished Serah will shine for the postseason and improve on her draft stock. [/QUOTE]
