Your opinion...Are we a more competitive team with .....

[Tonyc]

Kaleena/Kiah in the line up or Caroline/ Kelly in the line up along with Stef, Bria and Tiff. IMHO, since Geno is frustrated with how the team is playing , why wouldn't he try different combinations to see what clicks. I definitely feel the team is a much stronger rebounding team with Kiah and Kaleena since that was a concern in the last game. I know Kelly is a great rebounder but against taller players she's had difficulties keeping her match up off the boards. Thoughts?

Its tournment time and thats a time where we cant afford to experiment. So the given is Stef Tiff and Bria will start and I think most of us can agree on that. Now for the "IFs" If Kelly is hitting her shots like she did last year in the ND game and playing great defense like she did in the ND game they she should start. If Kelly is shooting fairly well and playing good defense then she should see alot of minutes. If Kelly isnt shooting well and playing pretty good defense then she should see pretty good minutes. If Caroline is shooting fairly well and playing good defense then she should see alot of minutes. If Kelly isnt shooting well and playing pretty good defense then she should see pretty good minutes. If KML is is shooting fairly well and playing good defense then she should see alot of minutes. If Kelly isnt shooting well and playing pretty good defense then she should see pretty good minutes. However if KML is in foul trouble she will sit thus forcing someone else to step up. If Stef gets in foul trouble then Kiah will see alot of minute unless Stef isnt scoring then Kiah may see more minutes but if Kiah is turning the ball over she will see less minutes.

Pretty much what it comes down to is team chemistry. We have won 26 games. We have 4 losses and 3 of those 4 losses are to the 1&2 teams and we couldve won both those games if we got to the line more and rebounded better. So to answer everybodys questions we need to commit less fouls and get more rebounds and if we play like we have been we will win every game.

Come on GUY's & GAL's ...... Over a year ago it was agreed that this would be a rebuilding year with the loss of MM and the new kids on the block ... Tony C agreed that it could be 8-10 games in the lost column ... When we lost EDD and SW that took one very major important step out of the season player rotating plan ...
Just think if we had EDD where would we be today .. probably with zero in the loss column. (thought for sure when the EDD thing came apart Geno would raid the JC ranks for a fill)
So Geno is probably happy down deep with the outcome of the 11/12 season, he certainly has learned alot concerning the players fit, and NOW knows the placement for next years new crew.
But MOST IMPORTANT he knows he stil has to find that button in the player thinking process that will put the famous DD frown on their faces.....!!!

Basketball & UConn..100%

RE Faris: Umm....that's what I do. I did not say I didn't understand your point. My point was regarding one comment you threw out there without accuracy. You said Kelly wasn't passing great lately. Here passing has been better recently (last 7 games) than it has over the course of the year. I was correcting your one statement. Why do you refuse to understand that point?

The point was that according to GA , "EVERYONES" passing has been off lately. Including Kelis Fisher. You act as if Kelis Fisher is totally without any fault . I never meant to single just her out! According to GA it's everyone. You have appointed yourself as the Kelis Fisher " protector" obviously! You must be her father! Again , the point was that as a "team", which includes Kelis Fisher, passing against the good teams has resulted in untimely turnovers, and transition points for the other team.

That's cool. And perhaps before you post another "Geno said" comment you could cite the source.[/quot

I thought I said GA called into the weekly WTIC 6:00P.M. show and was discussing this topic. I wasn't making it up. I only posted the info thinking people on this board might be interested . I thought that GA was being very honest about his assessment of the team. He wasn't putting any spin on things , just telling us what the coaching staff was dealing with.

Nope just a fan. Her father wouldn't waste time driveling on a message board. However, whether you meant to single anyone out or not, you did. So when you are called out for making inaccurate comments either accept it and move on or own up to it or prove it otherwise - all of which you have failed to do.

I do not disagree with this - "Again , the point was that as a "team", which includes Kelis Fisher, passing against the good teams has resulted in untimely turnovers, and transition points for the other team. "

Geno also preaches ownership and accountability...you should try it.

Well the quality of this conversation has reached a zenith I think.
