I suspect it is more than the players. I think Tara has been helped by her other coaches/recruiters

Good point, MT.  Kate Paye, in particular, has the reputation of producing many of the best scouting reports in WBB.  She is incredibly bright and knows how to dissect an opposing team.  It also gets easier to implement her scouts the more times we play an opponent (it does for the opponents, too, sadly) which leads to our defense significantly improving as the conference season wears on.
