A really upbeat and positive presser. But one thing struck me -- Tara mentioned lots of names of players, but we didn't hear Haley's name even once (or did I miss it?). What's up with that? Haley had a good game, not one of her best, but it certainly was good, worth giving her credit for. Another thing of note to me -- Tara's positive comment re Kiki. Liked to hear that.

I've noticed in the past that Tara frequently forgets to mention players who had good games--she has 17 players and can't always digest who deserves praises in the few minutes between the game and the presser.  She picks 1 or 2 to come to the press conference and focuses on them.  I've often tried to read her mind by what she doesn't say and frankly I've been burned on that.  But over time she brings as many different players to press conferences as possible--she tries to rotate the players at pressers a little bit, particularly if someone has not been there recently and has had an outstanding game.   Maybe Jones has been in the spotlight enough for now.
