The rebounding factor alone should make us better than last year's team. If we don't shoot the 3 as well this year, it shouldn't be a problem as long as they can rebound the misses. That's something they couldn't do last season when the chips were down.
They were up about 5 with around a minute left in regulation if I'm not mistaken. Should have won that game but then Strack took an ill-advised 3 and they failed to defend the opponent's sniper. She made them pay big time. I haven't been impressed with Brook's coaching at the end of games.
It''s true, but some of our bigs still don't leave their feet at times when they have a decent chance to block a shot. If you are a 7 footer and a much smaller guard is driving on you there is no excuse to not at least try to block it.
I think he'd be better served focusing less on analytics and responding more to what's happening on the floor. Subbing too early and with the wrong players.
