The problem with at least ten points in this game is the ease how our bigs are helpless down in the low post against opposition team posts.
The key here is our posts are never taught to deny the pass to begin with. Once the pass gets into their posts we foul or appear to do so. We are not being out quicked by there player we are behind there player. Taking a passive position allowing the pass to be made to their post.
I never see from our posts taught to front or deny there post they are guarding, the pass to begin with.
This is illustrated in the girls game Michigan played against Louisville earlier this season. Louisville stopped Hillmans ability to get the ball for the most part in the first half. Louisville built a twenty point first half lead disrupting Michigan and Hillman by half time.
Held that lead all second half won going away.
The key here was louisville second string post, most of the first half fronted hillman, denying her the ability to recieve the pass in the first place! It was a thing of beauty.
If Brown had fronted that chubby girl from Arizona there’s no way that Arizona could have passed over Brown to get to the Arizona girl. Our posts need to either stand in front of there post or to the side of there post with one arm blocking the entrance of the ball from passer to post .
If we allow the pass we are in a trap behind them which almost always leads to a foul on us. One way is aggresive resistance the other way is passive resistance. Which way would you choose.
Our posts are tall. Taylor could easily play the side of who she is guarding and with her long arms put it across there posts ability to grab a pass. Playing behind Taylor more times than not is passively allowing the pass to the person she is guarding by that time it’s 50/50 she will pick up a foul once there player gets the ball.
These aggresive techniques could help our posts from getting into foul trouble! I fear particularly with the ducks and Stanford posts we will get burned a lot and lose our posts to fouls and thus lose those games.
Chubby girl? Have fun in Canceledville!
