Message: [QUOTE="BostonCanuck, post: 3184435, member: 6931"] She broke out last season, in my opinion. She just needs to be able to reliably finish underneath the basket. And frankly, I think UConn's "missed layup" problem last season is as much a coaching issue as anything else. Here's what I mean by that: When I watched the national championship game, there were multiple occasions where a Baylor player grabbed an offensive rebound near the basket, and immediately potted a stick-back from a challenging angle. They almost never missed; it was an act of muscle memory for them. It was obvious to me that Kim has them line up underneath the rim to practice doing this over and over again. Now tell me, when do you think was the last time Geno ran that drill? Probably not since Tina Charles was on the team. All the finesse and guard-centric offence in the world is not going to get it done if it comes at the expense of good basics. [/QUOTE]
