If you read the original post, no one said anything about dumping all of this on anyones head........The comment was in the context of the Beavers doing things that weren't helping themselves. And in fact, the comments were a couple of sentences at the bottom of a paragraph after a couple of other points. Hopefully, this board doesn't have the mentality and culture of our current news media outlets whose idea of coverage is akin to giants leaps illusionary logic.
By the way, whoever keeps stating she has good shooting form and agility doesn't seem to know much about basketball. Her shot is very flat which lends itself to inconsistent shooting. This should have been fixed at an early age but apparently wasn't. She is not agile at all and in fact not very athletic or quick. Rueck used her to bring up the ball because of who is matched up on her. Because of her size, she woud usually garner a defender who is a small forward or larger which she would have the skills to beat bringing up the ball.
What she does have in her favor is her height. She has great height for a guard. She also has good ball handling skills and dribbles the ball well for her size, hence the matchups in her favor. She is an excellent passer which comes from a high basketball IQ which leads to a good nmber of assists.. This high BB IQ also helps with her understanding for helping on defense. She is a good teammate, which is most important of all. She is a plus for us in any analysis. My comments were only meant to show areas for improvement. G
Totally agree about any and all comments in this thread NOT being "dumping". They simply aren't.
As far as Katie's shot goes....this video [at 0:28 to 0:30], this season v. North Dakota, to me appears to show beautiful form - an arching trajectory jump shot. imho ....It's a thing of beauty. But I'm just a fan, without any actual BB experience, except in the driveway against my brothers.
