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.

There isn't a must-have type of point guard by Kayo
It only matters that the offense is organized and the team takes care of the ball. Generally that's the responsibility of the point guard. However, there are examples of forwards being the ones who have that responsibility. Even when there is the one primary ball handler who's the organizer-in-chief, there isn't a single type. Some shoot and score a lot while others seldom shoot.
Lindsay Allen is what I think most people would consider the prototype point guard. She kept the team organized, and she almost always got the ball to the right place on time.
I would argue that Kathryn Westbeld kept the team organized and the ball moving after the point guards' injuries during the national championship season, especially during the time that Marina Mabrey was trying to get a handle on the job.
