What Geno said about Azzi as a three point shooter needing to be threatening in the mid range and at the basket because it is too easy for a defense to run you off the three point line it reminded me of him when he talked about Maya and how she would fall in love with her 3 point shot and he had to keep pushing her to post up and to attack a defender running at her and getting a clean mid range shot. He also said similar things about Stewart.

It is why he is such a good coach, and why his players are so successful at the pro level - he is relentless at pushing them to expand they games even when what they are doing is enough to win in college, it is not enough for him because they are able to do more, and college is the place that gives them the freedom to learn what that more is.

I have seen a number of really good players allowed by their college coaches to coast on their talent and then have a wake-up call when they get to the pros.
