Re: Huge Weakness for ISU | |
just as another bill fennely plug- i think what impressed me most about this season was the change in coaching philosphy. for YEARS we've been a finesse team (as already mentioned earlier in this thread). And, really we still are. but in the 3 or 4 seasons before this, we've been much like the phoenix suns are in the nba - so what if you score 75 points. we're gonna score 90. And that worked well for sooooo long. Especially with medders, o'neil, fox, katie robinson, etc. We'd play a loose man defense, and play in transition, nail some threes. However, this year (although the trey still seemed to be our bread and butter...) we cracked down on defense. especially since offense was hard to come by many times this season. And if you watched the season progess, you saw the girls grow in their ability to defend well. especially amanda and jocelyn. little by little they caught on and got better and better. not ever really flashy - but always in the right places at the right times. It's really encouraging to see the girls be able to pick that up - and how apparent it is that our coaches really can gameplan!
