perhaps you didn't watch the wbit quinnipiac game? to my eyes it was the only game in which kate gave mas the green light to drive, and the results were eye-opening: 10 points on 100% shooting and 9 rebounds in 16 minutes play. suddenly she wasn't hesitant (slow) at all. i suspect the coaches had shackles on mas for her tenure at stanford. one of several problems with having a coaching staff of mostly ex-stanford players might be, do the coaches have experience with any style of play other than tara-light?

Just curious what the evidence is that the difference was Paye giving Stevenson the green light on that particular game versus not (every other game).  Isn’t the more likely explanation that MAS had a decided advantage against a mid-major team defender?  I think the coach just randomly deciding to unshackle a player for one and only one game doesn’t really pass Occam’s razor.

I don't recall Kate being a very exciting PG at all and I don't expect her offense to be any different than what was in her head way back in the day.  It always seemed to me that our relative success was due to individual stars outshining the limitations of the system.

Wasn’t Jamila Wideman the PG on those teams?  I always thought Kate Paye was the shooting guard.
