Can anyone figure out why Amber & Jasmine were put to rebound on Stanford free throws while the much taller Bonnie, Sara, & Taylor(maybe it was Mikaela) were sent to the defensive end to guard players???  This HAD to be done at Tara's command, but I don't fathom a reason for it.  The only thing I can imagine is that Amber can only play backcourt defense (steal the ball) but it seems all her opponents can take her off the dribble in the forecourt.  Well, we did do better against fast breaks this way.

I noticed that too, and I assumed it was to help with transition defense.
