Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4601500, member: 9844"] This question can be answered from many different perspectives, but let me try these. I wish for a rotation that is 10-11 players. I wish for frequent use of the press and far more fast breaks on offense. I wish our opposition with short benches have players bent over holding their shorts from exhaustion in the 4th quarter. I wish opposing coaches will have to burn early timeouts to try to figure out our press. I wish we could develop a cohesive pressing unit that specialized in defense to be used strategically at certain point of the game. I wish we can mostly use two traditional bigs with one or more of our young prospects coming thru at C so we can dominate at rebounding and block shots in addition to most other categories. I wish Geno with depth and a variety of skills can make more strategic game substitutions for defense, perimeter shooting, rebounding etc. instead of having to manage minutes and rest for a limited rotation. I wish for the first time in three years we see how good Paige and Azzi can be when both are truly healthy at the same time. I wish Aaliyah in her senior year can play the whole year at her natural 4 position. I wish Paige and Azzi will look aggressively for their own shot more than they sometimes do. I wish a more rested Nika can go back to picking ballhandlers clean for easy layups now that she doesn't have to worry as much about fouls. I wish Aubrey can be used on the wing but also upfront because as good as she was on the wing, she is better as a 4. I wish the game would slow down for Ayanna and that she could show more patience in the post. I hope Caroline's magnetic pull toward her head will reverse itself. I hope Ines will get over the nervousness of playing in front of more than 200 people. I wish there will be reports in the late summer that Amari has put on 10-15 more pounds of muscle. I wish we continue to be a favored destination for international stars. I wish opposing coaches conclude that we can't leave Paige and Azzi open outside, we can't let them drive, we have to take the ball out of Nika's hands, and can't let the ball get inside to Aaliyah, Ice or Jana, now how do we do that all at once? Most of all I wish we are again bad for women's basketball ! [/QUOTE]
