You only have 2 other options at guard. Poa and Carson. Carson (through this game) has had just as many turnovers and isn’t as good of a defender or ball handler. Poa isn’t a guard (she’s a pg) and has struggled tonight on D and is a worse free throw shooter.

Poole might be a better defender than Carson, but she might be the worst ball handler on the team, at least among the regulars. I'm not trying to be mean about it, but she has been a turnover machine since conference play started. And Poa is the best free throw shooter on the team, so I don't know what you're talking about there. Plus, a point guard is, in fact, a guard. All of our guards have turnover issues, but Poole, on a per minute basis, has got to have the highest turnover rate.

It seemed pretty obvious that Poa was being disciplined for her technical. I wish someone would tell Reese to cool it with dancing or staring at people after making a shot. I have absolutely no idea how she got away with that dance. It doesn't matter if WE approve, the fact is that refs normally call a tech for less than that.
