There will be those waiting to see how I bash Holly and the LV's this week , but many are correct, all the negativism in the world will not change the coach or the players. If you watch the game without coaching bias you will see that we have the ability but it is well known that ability - direction = 0 , or washout.
A. The girls are playing streetball , there is very little direction, watch in the next game how many of the players are running around and throw their hands in the air ( saying throw me the ball). Both Middleton and DeShields are constantly doing it.
B. Globetrotter syndrome - too much passing and style play. You don't pass behind the back when you are behind on the scoreboard.
C. This is a group of McDonald players , playing for themselves. There a few team players , but Diamond and Tea should have their names taken off and replaced with BALL-HOG. Ball hogs may shine from time to time but they never win respect from the other players or games for that matter.
D. I will say it over again , leave Dunbar in the game longer than you do DeShields. Her first two shots were both threes , she needs a chance to warm up. She as well has no direction. She is the easiest in the world to defense. She goes to the corner , and just stays there waving her arms.
E. Finally and the real reason I wrote this thread, is that Holly needs o sit down and talk with coach Barnes. You may say " well he hasn't won either". Coach Barnes inherited the smallest team in men's college basketball and has them playing like they are all seven footers. They are fast and enjoyable to watch. I agree they have faults as well , but the man has taught them to play and they remain close in all games because ability + direction = achievement.
Holly needs to have her team practice with the men's team......... they will learn more than they do from the coaches.
