Also symmetry, it’s apparent this team doesn’t practice late game execution and decision-making, and nothing changed since the S.Carolina game and timeout call and lack of execution.

In the UCLA game, Hannah Jump can’t get a shot off. Rather than take the dead ball turnover, she throws it not toward the basket but up in the air for a live ball turnover to start UCLA’s transition break which results in a UCLA 3-pointer in transition.

Today, Hannah has a timeout but instead decides to throw it to an Ole Miss player.

Bizarre coaching. 

But I don’t understand the coaches’ obsession with Lepolo and Agnes all year. I really do not. For these type of games you need people who can get to the basket off the dribble. Agnes cannot dribble, and Lepolo probably shouldn’t dribble. You had Texas last year. Same type of team so you know what skillset you should be developing in your backcourt and you barely play Nivar and don’t play Bosgana at all.

Other than playing well for most of the game against South Carolina (before collapsing at the end and wilting in OT), it was fairly clear that Stanford was very iffy/dicey against athletic teams that pressed us tightly. We ran into a good one tonight, Tara predictably had zero answers, and Jones and Brink alone could not get the job done in another imbalanced offensive display. Old Miss's pressing D and our turnovers did us in. Too bad for the seniors. Lot of talent but not well coached IMO. How many times does Stanford have to blow it in the crunch before it is acknowledged that the coaching is inconsistent and lackluster?

I really hope Kate is not Tara’s successor. She is a beautiful person but there are so many better options out there in terms of skill development and Xs and Os
