Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2380503, member: 3535"] I think the coaches do hammer her as much as they can but Geno said last year during a point late in the season that the team didn't foul much because they couldn't afford to. They didn't have much a bench. And with Lou - we're caught in a quandary. She doesn't have a strong lower base, doesn't have a strong upper body or arms and doesn't have a lot of quickness. So with all of this, plus we need her on the wing and she has to work on ball-handling and her quickness, how much do you expect over her 1st 2 years? Yet we had a small team last year and were pretty awesome. SO it's not like other than a rare game we got wiped out on the glass. I think potentially this year it could be worse for Lou because we have so many good athletes and rebounders, if she only gets 1 rebound in a few straight games, it's highly possible he'll bench her vs a poor team or more highlighting just what you're saying. Don't think last year he could have afforded to do that. My favorite type of players are shooters that can score and were real good passing. Which is why DT and Maya (and Bird and MoJeff and Ralph) were players I loved to watch the most. I agree with you I want to watch Lou get tougher like Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. I still think it can be done even if we now have more rebounding. To round out her game would be awesome if she could be tougher. But she also needs to keep working on her wing play. There will be a lot of tall players that can guard her too and I want to see her become unstoppable offensively vs small and tall players. [/QUOTE]
