What's this?

I have no idea. It’s always a balance of sticking to what you do well

Versus trying to do what you aren’t as comfortable with but might be a weakness of the opponent.

Just using today as an example, I saw Myers repeatedly keep his left arm back on his hip which I believe was to negate DeSanto’s go-to attack. Latona appeared to be backing up constantly but I believe he was trying to maintain distance from Lamont to avoid upper body positions and try to use his length advantage to get in on shots. Neither of those guys won, so does that mean the scouting was bad? I wouldn’t necessarily say so, as sometimes there are just very difficult matchups.

Keckeisen is a freshman and I didn’t get to see any of his matches all season, so I don’t know what the scouting report might have been on him. That said, Bolen had a chance to convert on some scrambled at the end of periods. From my POV, he lost a SV match that could’ve gone either way and then wore out against Geer. I didn’t see any glaring flaws in the game plans though.

Bolen ran out gas halfway through the match again but hung on to survive ** -- MExpos27 03/20/2021 2:08PM

Yup. Not sure how he didn't get 4 backs instead of 2 though ** -- hokie576 03/20/2021 2:12PM

Yup. The official waived his hands 4 times. ** -- HokieJay 03/20/2021 2:59PM

That's what I was trying to figure out. ** -- KCDale 03/20/2021 2:14PM

Is it reviewable, everything else is? ** -- rtp_hokie67 03/20/2021 2:19PM

Not sure how challenges are distributed, don't know if we had any. ** -- KCDale 03/20/2021 2:21PM

I think the short season hurt him -- OrangeHokieFan 03/20/2021 2:11PM

A little reminiscent of McFadden’s Jr year -- MExpos27 03/20/2021 2:25PM

What is reminiscent about McFadden's, was him not prepared for UNC's Monday -- rtp_hokie67 03/20/2021 2:46PM

I’m not sure I follow. What is the comparable situation for Bolen? ** -- MExpos27 03/20/2021 2:55PM

Comment related to McFadden not being prepared for his match, a game plan -- rtp_hokie67 03/20/2021 3:06PM

I have no idea. It’s always a balance of sticking to what you do well -- MExpos27 03/20/2021 3:21PM

I believe the coach has over emphasize trying to get bonus points sometimes -- rtp_hokie67 03/20/2021 4:12PM

I would like for us to add a support staff position just for scouting -- OrangeHokieFan 03/20/2021 4:07PM

By The way it did appear that Bolen did have a game plan for today's match. -- rtp_hokie67 03/20/2021 3:11PM

Way to go Hunter, nice to win the last match of the season. ** -- HokieJay 03/20/2021 2:07PM

Good to have 1 guy win his last match ** -- hokie576 03/20/2021 2:09PM
