She can’t shoot, can only finish going over her left shoulder with a right handed drive into the lane. Do you watch the games? And Ava is getting trapped constantly in the post. She literally needs a four that can hit a wide open ten foot jumper. You could average 20 a game just hitting that shot when the defense collapses on Ava. I’m not hating on Hannah but let’s call it like it is.
Never said she was better than Ava. She's not even close to Ava, and I wish she was a better shooter, but the team wouldn't be nearly as effective without her out there offensively and defensively. The watching the games comment is dumb.

I would rather see Journey at the 3 vs Deal today. I've been nothing but consistent all year in terms of my position on which players I think should see the floor. With respect to the guards I've been pushing Stremlow all year over Deal. With respect to the freshman, Journey and Deal haven't been playing the same position, but if there are minutes at the 3 and, then I'd rather Journey be first in line for those today.

My point about Deal in general is that there was a significant number of posters complaining that Jan needed to give Deal more minutes to build confidence. Now there are posters on here (like you) complaining that she's playing her too much and that's hurting her confidence? Maybe you guys all just like to complain about Jan??

Oh, and I did answer your question.
Bullshiit.
You've just made a point out of disputing EVERYTHING I say.
Every single time.
Find one post where I said Deal should be playing more.
I'll save you the time, I never said it.
NEVER.
Now, I will say that AD hasn't lived up to the hype. That's not debatable.
5* recruits are expected to be contributors relatively quickly and definitely before the end of their first year.
If there's stuff going on off the court, that's another discussion.
But apparently one of the reasons JJ got the job was to keep Deal as a recruit.

Never said what? You seem agitated. No need to stroke out. Maybe swallow a pill or something? Where did I say you said that Deal should be playing more? Are you ok?

I am a bit perplexed that pretty much everyone excuses away some VERY questionable HC decisions game after game after game.
Case in point...I've been complaining all season long that JJ absolutely refuses to use fouls at the end of quarters when they aren't in the bonus. Hell, the sportswriter guy asked her about it and she basically said..."My players don't have the basketball IQ to execute it".
Happened again yesterday at the end of 3Q, I believe. FDU proceeded to hit a 3 before the buzzer...for about the 10th time this season.
JJ just gets lost in some games.
And it's gonna cost her at some point in a big game.
Good assts don't automatically make good HCs.

Hannah can defend multiple positions, which is a huge factor in how good our defense is. Leading rebounder and second leading scorer. We’re talking overall player.

So here's the difference between me and you. During a game we might actually agree on a few things. I might for instance question why Hannah is in the game late in the 4th with a lead in a must foul situation. She's a poor foul shooter and will most likely be fouled the second she receives the ball. Jan on the other hand leaves her in there. You and I might both be yelling for her to take her out given the probabilities involved. And yet they win the game. Afterwards (possibly for weeks) you'll be dwelling on this. I on the other hand will be more than happy with the result and subsequent 6 wins in a row. You on the other hand will still be on here complaining about what you didn't like about how each of those 6 wins were coached unless they were all by significant margins. You're hung up on what happens during games. I'm only really interested in how each game ends. Did they win or lose? I think you'd be a lot happier if you were more like me. 😀

Wow your conspiracy statements regarding your last sentence are freaking nuts. Everyone here knows you do not like Jan and feel she's over her head, so do all of us a favor and give it the EF up once and for all. We get it, give it a rest.
