I was frustrated watching the Xavier game last night because there were plenty of times where players were hell bent on going straight ahead rather than making one extra pass to someone who was open. Look, I love AE and she's been great this year but there were a few times last night where she just drove into double coverage in the paint and Ines was WIDE OPEN in the corner.

I doubt Geno wants AE to barrell inside without considering the pass out to a guard. Dorka does the same thing when she will just drive into double or even triple coverage rather than making the extra pass.

It's like players decide to make a certain pass or play and just commits to it without considering the defensive adjustment or what has changed in that particular play. So many turnovers come as the result of trying to force a pass somewhere.

I'm sure that's what Geno is talking about when he talks about his coaching staff (and him) not properly teaching fundamentals to this team and I'm sure it drives him INSANE because these turnovers are all unforced errors not caused by the defense but because the team isn't reading what is being given to them.
