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.

Boley by hempfield75

Domerduck I always respect your opinion. You also make a good case for
Boley. Here is the difference between your opinion and mine. You showed
a lot of great numbers that support your opinion. I am not a numbers guy.
Do not like numbers and they can mislead you.

...You can look at a box score and it will show that a team dominated
another team based on the numbers. But if you look at the tape and final
score it shows a lose. Great example would be about 10 years ago when
Appalachian State beat Michigan at Michigan. If you would look just at
the numbers Michigan won. That is just one small example of how numbers
can be misleading.

...Plus I believe in the eye ball test. What I saw in the games I watched
was not a confident outside shooter. A lot of her shots were no where near
the basket.

...For her size I did not see a strong rebounder. She did not back out
but did not go at the basket strong.

...Her defense is a liability I hate to say. She is a one dimensional
player. She may have been off on the games I watched. But still that
does not justify her starting over someone that is multidimensional.
Easier for the other team to defense against her if they have to prepare
for her.

...She can still get her minutes and be a strong contributor. I think
she is a good player. Just not a starter. Will see when Oregon brings
in other transfers and recruits. I do not like to compare but I would
put Kat Westbeld over her. I know two different styles but I liked
Kats game much better.

...I hope she proves me wrong. I am going by the games I saw her
play.
