This team reeks of the Utah Jazz, peppered with "showtime"
Malone: Graves running a point-forward spotat the elbow,with stationary set-plays going through her when possible.
Stockton: Carter, Middleton, Jackson Running the givengo and screen roll to perfection and becoming great shooters so defs. have to respect your shot too.
Hornecek: Spotup: Dunbar,DD, Cooper
Magic and Kareem = DD and Russel.(Russell develop a jumphook that goes vertical on the ball-lift so it is faster in completion of the move and shot at the peak of her jump) Give DD this type of environment..and she will flourish.
Practice; Run "Shootathon" so the girls can take 1,000 shots in only 30 minutes... Yes, it can be done. in increments of 10 3-minute runs of the drill... 1,000 shots taken, inside or outside of the arc in under 3 minutes.. give these kids drills like this so they can shoot till their hearts are content and their reps reinforce muscle memory and their mechanics get better. and they can consistently get their shot off in under 3/4 of a second... Drills like my shootathon could immediately influence this team.so would 7-direction layups, contact-drives, flight-school....
I know I mouth off a lot, but it is with the humility that I know that I am not The panacea when it comes to coaching...Nor am I intimidated. I am at the hard to reach plateau where you hit dead-center of confidence and cocky as a coach.
Oh and i would move towards defense with my 3-1-1 read and react defense. 3 players, one step back off the HC line (And dare them to cross center court before the ball crosses the court. and two stacked at the top of the key and middle-paint. going into a man-pick-up only after they pass half court on the bring-downs.
I've got 5 Intramural girls titles, 1 runner up finish, and lost only 2 games in 6 seasons...I guess that makes me an elite coach too
Remember at the beginning of the season Holly was talking about the LVs watching a lot of Celtic games for the passing ability? What happened with that I wonder.
I can only guess that the players didn't buy into what Holly was trying to sell them. Because their passing is dreadful. Of all the teams in the NBA why in the world did she choose an 80's Celtic team? Holly is stuck in the past and can't move forward because she doesn't have the know how or skill level to teach/coach her team. She's just not head coach material and it shows.
Boys, enjoy yourselves. At the risk of maturing, just be happy. and play in this little playground. Swings are in the back.

I care enough about my Lady Vols to do the obvious, be a fan, and the not so obvious, trying to push some buttons so someone will get the message that there is something missing,
Alpha's aren't those above are being. That's just bullying. Alpha's win with brains, brawn and work-ethic..., Kind like the traits you would want in any athlete..
But I won't waist 34 years of wisdom on boys and playground scenarios.... Enjoy yourselves,

For someone who professes to understand women athletes, I find it pretty comical that you address posters on this particular forum as "boys." :crazy:
Although I do thank you for not addressing us as "girls."
(edit to add: I know that we have both men and women posting here)
I actually agree a lot with what you say in terms of the type of coaching highly skilled women athletes need. The growing shameless "hire me! hire me!" --not so much.
Hope your trip goes well, and that you're available to answer all these pressing questions. :wink2:
Meanwhile to other members here, isn't there someone whose daughters play/ play hoops around here that recognize the photo avatar? Curious about that.
