Now that Elena's playing days are coming to an end, has she ever indicated a desire to coach? I think she would be great especially at recruiting.
good point, I agree- but would she is the question?
The women's game last night was another deja vu-the disparity in stats strikingly reflects the feel of the game and the entire season up to this date. Our FG%s are almost shocking.
As the second half began, it dawned upon me how poorly we appear to come out of the locker room both in the 1st and 3rd quarters. So I decided this morning to check if my recall was accurate. It was uncanny how often this pattern took place for our games. Many bball followers believe that it is at these times that the quality of coaching preparation and strategy can be observed and evaluated. The coach should be most able to affect the players performance and team strategy versus the opponent coming out of the locker room. It should be noted that at critical times during the game this is true as well, but the pressure of the game makes it more difficult to get them to absorb and process advice information.
Jenkins up to this point has failed to address the same issues as last season though the TOs at times have improved. One of our posters here has noted, and I have observed, that our box scores seem to be not fully accurate
I continue to watch the games though the outcomes are generally not in doubt. The strange fact is that we have enough talent( her recruiting appears decent) to potentially win the CAA auto bid if we click at the right moment. League parity and the level of play are relatively easy to view. It's not that different from the men except for a higher level of performance.
I wonder if it isn't best at the conclusion of the season to CR cut(our) her losses(NPI) and move on. Sorta like a poker game which I'm sure many of us have experienced. I'm aware of the financial crisis as described in the Review, but winning might fill some seats, sell some popcorn, and attract stronger recruits. EDD would be perfect!
