The hockey sub is not a new idea. It's an elementary school gimmick to keep all the parents happy. It's not some fiendishly clever scheme and it is definitely in the wrong era. I don't know if you noticed it but we're in the era of 'My Brand'. Agents/managers/moms know the quickest way to...

True (mostly). And no, I don't expect voters to extrapolate anything. I don't think a UConn player will win this year. I expect Azzi and Sarah to split the votes and leave it up to Blakes or Jazzy (LA players seem to get a lot of press) to win. (Especially if each has a big tourney showing.)...

for comparison Blakes plays 4 quarters every game, Strong plays 2.5

She looks really into the game. I think she's not checking the score but the clock to see when she can leave.

This UCLA team has final four experience from last year and six mature seniors in their rotation. Add in a serious revenge motivation and I don't think any reasonable UConn fan is imagining an easy time with these Bruins.

The sum of +1 +1 +2 -4 I think is zero; not the 5 listed in the total column BTW. I agree with your premise. The good teams come out gangbusters in the first 4 minutes of the 3rd. To continually lose the 3rd is indicative of , not poor coaching, but of a staff that doesn't have a clue.

Zero?

Tell that to Nick Saban or Geno. You’ll get it when you grow up.

On sister acts, Geno does not put up with recruit stipulations like if you want me you have to take my sister. That is a denial of the team first attitude he desires. If two sisters were willing to be recruited individually, and they met his other requirements, I think he would deal with them.

having heart starts with hope and is fed by expectation and grows with realization. To build heart is the coach's (or pastor's) job. They build it into individuals and weave that into a team (others) first mindset.

Mudcat be mudcat.

Carla Berube loves her life at Princeton. But when asked about replacing Geno replied, “When the Alma mater calls, you have to answer.” Shea love Vandy and the Nashville vibe. But if she gets close to Geno money it will be tough to say no.

True, the percent would be static. But again an offensive strategy that maximizes offensive rebounds over made shots is a failing strategy.

Luv’ ya @Rooster1. But I guess I wasn’t clear in my comment (it was an attempt at humor.). To be more precise, Yes on a missed attempt it is better to be able to grab an O rebound. My point was that by changing the shot distribution, the team would be making more shots, thereby having fewer...

To do the analysis I suggested, it doesn’t matter what type of shot they are taking because I suggested using the same total number of shot attempts. /the shot attempts will be the same breakdown as they are currently taking because we are relying upon the same make percent. Compare their...
