Coop and Zee mins down due to fouls and CKC being pissed at Coop.
The rotation was really messed up for this one.
We got the win so no real complaints but I do think some of the rotations made a life a little tougher. There was a stretch where Civil and Prawl got into a zone made some back to back plays and the LVs went up 7 or 8 but they were subbed and the new rotation lost the lead.
You know how everyone wants us to take a time-out to break a team's run, Sometimes this staff breaks their own runs by subbing the player or players who gets hot right when they are getting hot.
Right now, it seems like the staff is still more or less committed to a pre-planned subbing rotation or they think "Of gee, Prawl just made a steal and took the ball full court to hit a lay-up, Her PCr levels are now depleted!!, We need to sub her immediately."
If you ever play sports-oriented video games, you know that these games tracks the energy levels of your players and proportionaely reduces their performance so that you have to replace them or get exploited.
I think this staff sometimes gets into "joy sticking" the game (we can control everything through subbing) which disrupts the organic flow.
CKC is getting better on this point. I think her statement about "over coaching" is an important self-revelation. It may seem terribly old school but the principle of keeping your hot hands on the floor has some merit.
It turns out for example that Pauldo could play almost the whole game and still lead the team down the stretch and perhaps she did that because she had been allowed to get into a great game flow. There is a lesson to be learned there.
