Disagree on Your Post

I am going to be nice and not attack your post. Your way off target on
your thinking and numbers. Comparing her numbers to the other players is
not fair or accurate.

...Besides her numbers for the little amount of time she was on the court
are quite good. At this stage in her career her goal was defense and
rebound. The young woman plated hard every game. You can see that. She
also played scared every game. Always looking to the bench for a butt
chewing or replaced. No other player dealt with that.

...If you are using numbers and expectations for all players. Than the
games Marina did not score 1 point should have gotten her the bench.
Arikes turnovers and thinking me first instead of team. How about the bad
passes by Jess and Jackie. How about the lack of defense from the entire
starting 5. A little defense and this team would have been undefeated.

...So do not look at just one players lack of performance because of
minimum playing time.

...If you have not figured it out. Her transfer is more than just about
playing time, that we will ever know.

...We do not know what went on behind close doors. Meaning their practices.
It is safe to say she received just about the same amount of practice time
with the first unit as playing time in a game. Coaches are limited on
amount of practice time minutes by NCAA. They have to ensure the starters
are prepared for the next game.

...We all know MM does not like to use a bench. But how do you learn if
you do not play. 5 -10 minutes a game is not going to cut it. There quite
a few games she got 0 - 5 minutes. MM decides each game who is going to
play and how much. What does she go by to make that determination, ask
her. It is her team.

...Do not compare her time and effort with Abby. Different type of players.
And different things were asked of each player. Abby was sent out to run,
jump and cause trouble. Was not asked to score.

...I will stop here. Dani came to ND to fulfill her dreams. She tried,
she gave it 2 years and something inside clicked in her. She fills she
needs to move on to fulfill those dreams. I frankly hope she rethinks
her decision. I think where ever she goes the best in her is going
to show up. With confidence in herself, coaches, and team mates. The best
is in front of her. She whats everyone to see what kind of player she
really is. Not the clean up player she has been for 2 years.

...I apologize to the board and fellow members for my post. Like I said
before. I will always defend the underdog. There is 2 sides to every
guy for her time at ND. I will follow her where ever she lands. Just the
way I am.
