I think this is sort of like what Geno says about not teaching effort. It's a character trait kids have to have already. By the time he gets them, it's too late to teach this. Geno is very clear on recruiting precisely for traits like these. And he knows how to find them. Diana and Maya and Paige -- they were easy to recognize for this, plus they had talent coming out of their ears for all to see. But someone like Ash, it's a lot subtler and easily missed. She didn't dazzle in HS, but she carried her teams.

Ash also had a telling moment in the last Indiana state championship where she had a chance to seal the game with a score but found a more open teammate and passed it to them for the win -- it was exactly like what Paige did in the closing seconds of the Syracuse game, drawing the defenders and hitting KK for the open 3. Being clutch doesn't always mean taking the hero-shot. It can mean making the good decision in the right moment.
