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.

Game TimeI by hempfield75

I was not going to comment but the other half said to do it.

I disagree with what your post. I am not going to get into what I think was
wrong in the game. Who am I to question MM. She has been doing this for over
30 years. Me, no where near that.

...I will make comments about some of your points but not MM. Coaching is not
about just managing a game to win. You are making adjustments, counter
adjustments, making changes, rotation, keeping fresh players on the court
as much as you can. Timing, the right time to change plays, players, speed
of game, timeouts. It is also about developing. During the season practice
is not used for development per say. You are limited on practice time. So
that is what you are doing. Preparing for next game.

...You can always make adjustments of playing time without severely causing
in game difficulties. Been there done that. Both as a coach and player.

...When you get down by a large amount. A change of some sort is needed.
Not talking about the NC game. I was in plenty of games of the blowout
side. Either style of play, personnel, speed of game, types of play or
just flat out attitude. But something has to change. Or you have to do
something that will force the other team to change.

Again my comments were not to attack MM I would never do that. That would
be disrespectful on my part. Just making comments to your comments on
why you can not do things. But you can. Especially early in the game. You
have time to recover. Besides, coaches are not thinking at the moment but
a few plays are more down the road.

There done have fun.
