re: Dawn Staley says transgenders should be able to play against women
Posted by BornAndRaised_LA on 4/6/24 at 3:18 pm
Exactly. I hope one year soon a small, liberal college grabs 8 trans freshmen, goes undefeated, and sweeps through the NCAA tournament, inadvertently triggering an NCAA response.
(Then I hope the NCAA changes the rule and then offer a Covid year to all the young women whose college seasons were ...

lol. Poa was on Clark far less than HVL, gave up 3 of Clark’s threes, and got burned on a drive with an and-1. Per minute, she got cooked far worse than Van Lith did. ...

As stated in other thread:
Sometimes great players just get ridiculously hot. Go back and look at her 20 three point attempts. The D was good on most of her misses and arguably the defense was good on 6 of the makes.
Those are shots you have to live with as a coach because they’re supposed to ...

Posted by BornAndRaised_LA on 4/4/24 at 6:45 am
I went back and looked at Clark’s made 3s.
4 of her threes were on HVL (primary defender)
3 were on Poa (on far fewer possessions)
1 on Angel as a help defender
1 on a 2-on-1 transition where HVL covered the other player who broke free to the hole
11 misses
Of the four threes she hit on H...

I honestly think she ends up playing in Europe until she develops a midrange shot and stronger post moves.
She’s a 6’3” low post player that is long but doesn’t jump. She shoots low scoops. I would LOVE if she had come back, because her high-effort style is awesome in college, but she’s not goin...

[quote]Williams and Johnson are the starting shooting guards[/quote]
If Williams starts next year she needs to step up. HVL gets a lot of flak here, but I literally can’t remember the last game I thought Williams had a significant impact in. If you think Van Lith is slow on D, Williams is molasse...

I’m as patriotic (personally) as they come, but I think this is a dumb discussion overall. I’m still IN the military and I think the forced connection that athletic events have with the Anthem (which isn’t specific to the military) and also the military (in form of various flyovers, recognitions, st...
