Those Gulf Coast gals were quick.  They blew by us a lot.  Bosgana with some nice assists and baskets.  Harriel has a nice 3 point shot.  Haley looked pretty great in this game.

i agree with all these points.

except for some missed assignments on their fast breaks, we defended the 3-point line more tightly in this game. as you mention, when tightly covered, they blew by us for lay-ups. you pick your poison.

And, 81Alum, I think Tara's first priority is the health and safety of the team.

I thought about the order after I posted--but it is a balance, of course.  You could keep everyone completely safe by forfeiting every game and not putting anyone on the court.  So I think she (and most coaches) want to minimize risks while still playing to win.  That would be a better way of putting it than an ordinal list as I did. 

I do think Tara puts more of an emphasis on safety than some coaches, and has ever since 1998.
