I consider Alie a good friend so I meant no disrespect. She lacks the true speed of a Jamillah and the length of an Alex but she has done a decent job of keeping people in front of her.
In one instance yesterday she started to enter the game for the wrong player, and then incorrectly ran the inbounds play. That usually winds most reserves right back on the bench in most cases.
My concern is that in situations we slide Alie to the 2 and Kelsey to the 3 and we could face quicker players at both positions. As tight as Jody likes to play man to man defense that doesn't leave much room for error when guarding players with a quick first step.
I love this teams hustle and blue collar attitude. As hard as we defend the new rules could hurt us before it hurts other teams. Hopefully slashers like Jamillah can get to the line more bc of the calls as well.

You are gonna have to take notes for me Friday coach. No way that work allows me to attend that one. Plus I usually skip the mid day games where they bring buses of kids. Hopefully we get a W and I can be there Saturday.
Originally posted by oldtimewomen's hoopcoach View PostI looked at the web site of the team we're playing Friday. They have some size. I don't if they are good, but they do have 6-2 to 6-4 on the roster. Perhaps a test of our interior defense and rebounding.

Nice to see that the Shocks knocked down some perimeter shots against SW Baptist thanks mostly to the Dapprich sisters.
The 57.1% (24-42) shooting from the free throw line in the two exhibition games definitely needs to improve. With our athleticism we could very well get to the line a lot this year with the new rules and we need to shoot much better than 57% as a team on those opportunities.

Originally posted by oldtimewomen's hoopcoach View PostI'll put my ear plugs in and give a report after the game. Fortunately, I'm a little hard of hearing anyway.
I think the IPFW game is in the afternoon because the Shocker Volleyball team plays in Koch Arena Friday evening. So you may not need those earplugs after all.
