Message: [QUOTE="TheFarmFan, post: 2969014, member: 9403"] To clarify, I meant at Cal. Obviously other schools have better attendance, but for Cal, this was a watershed moment. That's what a good coach who knows how to scout will do - take away the other team's best options. Tara at Stanford has done the same thing with far fewer AA's than Geno has (e.g., Kalani Brown's five-point output last weekend); regardless of their personnel, they're both masterful at scouting and teaching their kids to counter the other team's Plan A and force them to go with a Plan B. Morgan William with the buzzer beater is the epitome of a successful Plan B. Cal's (unsustainable) three-point barrage in the first half today was another example. Rarely can Plan B thrive for four quarters. Edited to add: I also think that's why Notre Lame has been UConn's achilles' heel the past decade - MM knows how to develop well-rounded teams with multiple viable game plans. Geno can't scout his way past most MM teams, which means it comes down to who executes better on any given day. [/QUOTE]
