Bad foul because it gave Mitchell another foul.

And there is no need for it because our set plays are for ****e.

But SC still gets the line drive three pointer.

Last play of the half shows you what a stupid team we are--Reynolds shoots the ball too soon and SC ends up getting a basket to end the half that should never have happened. Utterly stupid. We are the dumbest team in basketball. South Carolina has been terrible, and we are trailing by 3.

This is a weak team...nobody is developing Russell, she doesn't go strong for rebounds, she plays timid. In fact, this entire team plays timid...much like their leader. Nobody dives for loose balls, nobody goes strong to the basket, nobody sprints the floor. I see no semblance of a PS team.

Same old story good defense overall but nobody on our team can shoot or score. The offense is never going to be worth a crap as long as Holly is coach we don't do anything except dribble out the clock and take a desperation shot.

No coaching.

Amazing how a team can beat us by scoring 50 points in a game. That is inept offense and happens every game unless were playing a cupcake.

and you are wrong. It's a team sport. She is "just Diamond" a lot on the court--and that is precisely the problem. She is "just Diamond" when she makes her many flashy passes, half of which end up in the stands. She is "just Diamond" when she plays lazy defense--standing up, jogging around; she is "just Diamond" when she takes various jumpers--and I'm fine with her making moves and going up--but she misses too many. She's a prima donna--that's the problem with DeShields. Could a better coach do a better job of motivating her? Yes, probably--but players have a responsible to motivate themselves.

Victoria Vivians is the same player (Miss St.) but you don't hear about it because her coach (Vic Shaffer) understands how to utilize her, he doesn't micromanage her because he knows how important she is to what he does. Walker-Kimbough (Maryland) does the same type of player also and Brenda Frese knows how to coach her up to have the other players rally alongside/around her. Holly is not able to do so. We are a transition team, why Holly is trying to make us slow it down, I don't get it.

It`s clear Holly has lost control of this team. Also this team needs a pg next year Cooper is not the answer. i have never seen a player shoot there jump shot from there hip.

I think the thing I dislike about Holly is her body language. She doesn't show body language of someone who seems to have an answer for what's going on. She looks like she is looking around for a signal from Pat in the audience. For the life of me I don't know if she should be a head coach anywhere. She seems to be be suited as an assistant.

We need a "prima donna", a "star", a "take charge" player, someone to put some life and effort into this team. What "superstar" is not considered a ball hog? I think if Diamond were allowed to play a faster more wide open game she would greatly help this team. It is obvious what they are doing now is not working.
