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.

Nixons defense by hempfield75

I do not think her defense is that bad for a freshman...Yes we need to see improvements and she is...Fortunately, she has team mates where improvement steps can be small...You can see her reaction on the court when she makes a mistake...She is really hard on herself. Besides it is the coaches job to bring her along at the needed pace...I believe she is averaging around 17 minutes a game...That is pretty good for a freshman...Look at Vaughn and especially DP....Dani last year did not see the floor much...Even though both have shown improvements,,,they do not get the minutes as Nixon...If MM was truly not happy with her. I guarantee you she would be on the bench...I remember watching Jackie getting pulled from games and sitting the bench her freshman year....I was concerned she would get frustrated not improve and or transfer....That is my biggest fear...
