This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Agree, and a few more thoughts by oldbender
Agree with your post. In several ways, last year was easy. There was great leadership and "glue" from Kat and spirit and valuable minutes from Coco. Roles were easy to define. Arike was not known across the country by basketball fans. And, yes, you didn't have two low post players to keep happy. Muffet talked about getting the ball to Turner more, but I too felt she didn't look ready for the magnitute of the game. Of course, no one really played well and the other big girl seemed to get pushed ayound like Turner underneath. It's a long year and yesterday should be a wake up call. But, as any old coach would tell you, winning the second is much harder than the first. A challenge has been put down. It's up to this group to relish it.
