We have way more than 6 days.

She had a really nice six game stretch on the boards in SEC play. Nearly 11 per 40 during those games, including 7 against LSU in 20 minutes and 8 against South Carolina (although that was in 29 minutes). Then she only averaged 9 minutes a game over the next 6. After the February 19th game...

They changed it when she entered the portal.

Such is the current state of things. Used to be folks gave their best when it was a competitive sporting event. Period. The ones who didn't were the exceptions. And, since the actual topic of this thread is Jaida Civil, I'll add that Jaida is old school in that respect. If Kim had had 10...

I like your take here. I would like to say, however, that when Kim said "a lot of quit" she was just talking about in game effort. She wasn't criticizing every decision they make. The "she called them quitters " business has grown exponentially like the Blob.

And apparently Kim has gotten that every year she's coached until this year. Thus her "I've never had a team who wouldn't run through a wall for me before" comment. Had to be quite a shock.

She didn't technically call them "quitters". She said, "We had a lot of quit today," and, "They have a tendency to quit when things aren't going their way," which has a different tone from, "They're a bunch of quitters." She then specifically pointed out a couple of players she thought had...

Pat made such comments about her team when warranted. There was one occasion I remember her saying, (amd I'm paraphrasing, can't find the quote again), "I don't know what to do. Untit they want to win, they're mot going to win." She OFTEN put it on player effort.

I was just looking at this, because I remember thinking Mia had really settled in before the drop off. 36.5% on 3s going into the Texas game; 13 of 67 (19.4%) the rest of the way. I think she'll be a consistent 35%+, and maybe even higher the rest of her career.

Her free throw percentage dropped from 90.9 to 76.5. No assessment here, just thought it was weird.

Completely agree. The whole point of the "No plan B" stuff was "I still believe this system will work, as last year showed, but this bastardized version isn’t the system and will never work." Also, all the folks who keep claiming that great coaches can completely overhaul their approach when...

Of course he can.

So, one of the late season games, the color commentator sounded like you. She was breaking down the play. We kicked it into the post. I think it was Latham. The announcer tells us what a terrible set this is. She completely ignores that Latham kicks it to Mia for one of the most open 3s...

Good looking stroke.

I did, and the dunks were cleaner than most. A lot of women's dunks are barely pushed over the rim.
