Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2970198, member: 6118"] When you shoot three times in a season and make 2--your precentage is fantastic. If NUMBERS/stats told the story Geno would be playing them every game maybe as starters. So why isn't Geno playing them? Is he some kind of boob that can't assess a player? Of course NOT. Coombs and ONO HAVE POTENTIAL. ONO in those games she went in and came out--2 minutes--WHY if NUMBERS told the whole story? She may be the best post Uconn has ever had she has potential. She lacks confidence, experience in Division one, the mindset to know how to defend without fouling. She HAS been effective with small teams--but-- Uconn doesn't need her with small teams, with them she adds a means to defeat the small team, but Napheesa KLS can do it without her. Coombs assets are she can see the floor, can defend in the open floor-, can handle the ball--with your stats--why then isn't Geno playing her against ND, OU, Cal ? Because she too lacks confidence (using Geno's words there) she is athletic. It would appear her body runs faster than her brain i.e she makes a near perfect drive to the basket and throws the ball much too hard and misses, that is correctable, she too needs experience. They are not chopped liver--when was the last time you saw chopped liver(?). All on the Bench had/have potential, all on the bench against AAC teams may add some relief to the starting 5--we all know they need that. Potential doesn't always get fulfilled. Confidence for Bent, Ono, Coombs appears to be a common lacking. Geno can build some confidence if he has the time, some never really get it. Experience for ONO Coombs will begin in the AAC games. If STATs told the whole story why then isn't Geno playing them?? Why are Walker and C William Starting? Bias, or because they were number 1 recruits--so Geno ignore their stats comparison??? Reality is real, stats are just number. E [/QUOTE]
