That is correct. That's like saying you were a mall cop for 10 years and you just spent a month training with army rangers so you're ready to go out in the field with the rangers now.
It's almost a detriment b/c what she was used to doing her whole life as a basketball player, is nothing like what men do as a basketball player. She's been doing it the slow inefficient way her whole life, and now she's learning there's a better way to do almost everything. Be faster, more athletic, and stronger.

I have no idea what this was supposed to prove.
He took over a team that has won 2 of the last 3 titles, and was swept in the semifinals.
