Why Poole over Carson?

It worked out since we won but why did Poole get the nod down the stretch over Carson or even Poa? Defense maybe? Was there an injury?
It just seems like if she was in there to shoot, Carson would have been a better option and if she was in there to pass, Poa would have been a better option. Regardless, Shooting would definitely have helped against their zone and Carson is our best shooter.

Rotations were weird last night. Honestly, could have been the sloppiest basketball game I’ve ever watched.

Zone offense was very offensive. Surely that’s easily fix what was KM thinking.

I don’t think the coaches did a good job with the rotations last night but the game plan to attack a matchup zone was not good at all. They were pretty stagnant all night on offense
Kim said she didn’t think Carson was going to get any clean looks against that zone but they probably could have gotten much better looks if they attacked the zone better.
Just looked like one of those games where everyone seemed tired and not there mentally

Coach Mulkey was asked that very question by the media in the post-game presser. Check it out, it’s posted now on TD.

Couch said Poole is a strong passer and had a good chance of passing the ball into the zone. Also said she is very strong driving to the basket and that her body type could help when banging around on defense.

Carson is not good on D.

That's my only critique on the coaching staff. Poole is such a liability out there. She is a turnover waiting to happen. She's a terrible passer, constantly throwing into defenders hands. Tries to dribble behind the back and crossover when its unneccessary which leads to bouncing of her or the defenders foot constantly. An average shooter at best. On the defensive side shes too slow to keep up with SEC caliber guards. Carson and Poa both are better options.

Something was working with that lineup. Poole's +/- stat was +16 . That's impressive in a close game.

Defense and FT shooting

I can't figure this out either, to me she should be the third option down the stretch. We have to have good shooters in the game to keep our opponents honest. We are seeing the teams pack in the defense and play very physical against us down low. We have to have some outside shooting to make the defense come out to guard the 3 point line

Poole plays too much all the time. She isn't good. I don't understand the thinking around it. Carson and Poa are both much better. Assuming no injuries or foul trouble, Poa and Smith should get all the minutes the starters are off the court.

I trust KM decision in coaching, more than my or your coaching abilities. I coached for years even won a state championship. I bow to Mulkey's decisions. Trust HER!

Better defense
