Can always use talented and/or experienced players
And I'd love a knockdown shooter or dominant slasher who can drive from the wing
And wouldn't it be nice to have a stretch 4?
Sorry, you asked
I could agree with that, although at least we have experience at the 1stu said:
IMHO we would benefit most from a do-it-all wing like Jaelyn Brown or a great point guard.

Mulkey is an elite 6'9" post, which the new coach brought with her from Texas (I presume she's related to the former Baylor WBB coach. That puts a premium on the Bears developing Their young bigs, Heide and Samb. Tall order for Cal's new coach, Reed.
It was noticeable that Fatou Samb had improved while watching her play in the last games of the season. I recall watching a video early in the season when Charmin was working with Fatou. It was amazing. Charmin said, I am you, teaching her post positions, while having Fatou defend her. Sela was injured, I don't know when, so she missed out getting experience. Charmin said at one point, "I am teaching every second." GO BEARS!
Clay, since you are a coach of a HS girls bb team, have you watched the Disney series Big Shot about a HS girls basketball coach in La Jolla?ClayK said:
Oddly, NCAA rules to protect athletes from exploitative coaches (six-hour practices, etc.) have hampered player development. It's actually difficult to find enough time to really work on individual skills given the time limits that exist.
And of course, players have to want to get better badly enough to work at it. More than a few are burned out by the time they get to college -- they've been playing year-round since age 10.
Yes. Ask Wyking Jones.ClayK said:
I don't watch much (any, really) scripted TV, so I haven't seen the show. And I would probably just get annoyed at how inaccurately the job is portrayed ... even those who have been assistants or JV coaches are surprised at what being a head coach in high school actually entails.
one thing I noticed is neither the players nor the coach look like real basketball players. i think they are all actors that they taught to dribble, pass and shoot, and with a lot of editing make it look like they are playing in a real gameClayK said:

Disappointing

If she was transferring out of Washington, would you expect a former Washington coach coming to Cal to help?

Yes actually, if that coach had a good relationship with the player

Maybe they didn't and that was part of the reason why she was transferring possibly in the first place.
That was my feeling especially since he was the post coach at Wash when all of a sudden changed her mind. Do you know if she did apply to Haas?MoragaBear said:HoopDreams said:MoragaBear said:HoopDreams said:
