Everyone obviously gets to vent about whatever they want on a sports board but the angst over every decision regarding playing time and playing style is over the top in my sports board opinion. No winning coach makes their decisions based on worry about whether their star recruits are being given the minutes or shots they think they deserve. We have no idea about the possible minor injuries, points of emphasis from practice that a player ignored, or inappropriate emotional reactions a player is having during a game. I don't assume the coaches always know best but I do know that the coach has to run the team, not worry over the feelings of the players in each individual game situation. Somfai has and will get plenty of minutes this season. I don't think we need to worry about her long term commitment to the team based on the coaching decision in any game. And, by the way, we won the game. Coach Paye's comments in the locker room after the game focused on the fact that it was a great TEAM win. Maybe she was sending a message to the team about what will be needed over the course of the season. Obviously, anyone can post anything they feel the need to, I just felt the need to add my thoughts to add a counter weight to the seeming assumption that our coaches are clueless about how to run the team.
