You know, I can’t help but feel that there must have been some rule changes for on-ball defenders to reach-in and contact ball handlers. I mean looking at some of the fouls not called or called the wrong way, both in the men’s and women’s games, it’s as if the refs are prepared to make a no-call when an obvious foul is made. I’d like to see someone look into that and see if a rule change in that regard has been made. If not, then what the heck is going on?
to Chris’ point about Amoore being out having a silver lining, it’s a conundrum that a coach would never do that deliberately even though it may end up helping the team longer term. You may not be able to recreate that artificially anyway, it may have to be a real crises to which the other players can respond heroically which gives them more ownership of the team. But yeah, it just seems like there ought to be a way to hand the ball to players and tell them Georgia and Liz aren’t playing tonight, it’s up to you to win or lose the game.
With the turnovers for men’s basketball they can not create the same pressure in practice that they go against in the game might be a reason they don’t turn it over in practice.
