You have to wonder about coaches whose players behave like this. I mean, Miles is a major talent and yet she can't manage to keep her cool in a 30 pt blowout?! This is pathetic sportsmanship, but strangely it's a recurring theme at ND over more than one coach. Coach Abe is another one, and the culture of at Georgia seems almost toxic. In game film reviews afterwards, don't these coaches call attention to this behavior? Or do they not consider themselves to be teachers?

The ND game last season was full of little chippy things just like this, and lots of flopping -- that combination is paradoxical but maybe inevitable. In the second half, Paige seems to have had enough and decided to outmaneuver them -- Miles, Mabry, Citron -- hanging fouls on all of them, and it was like watching poetic justice.

One reason to have Nika guard Miles is that she's probably not going to be able to keep her cool under that sort of pressure. With the talent she has, Miles needs to grow up a little.
