Can't be critical of this program. We have grown to accept. 20 point+ blowouts as the norm

This team of freshman I will accept blowouts. If we are still getting blown out in conference play next year, I will be very critical of the players (who didn't put in the work) and the coaches.

You can say what you want about all the players and it doesn't matter. I have not been critical of the program or the coaching until, ....well, now. This team is not a good defensive team. Their TEAM defense especially in the half court is poor. Players do a poor job denying the passing lanes and are slow in help rotation. TT and SJ are talented players but are not good defensive players at this point. This is not on the players, it's on the coach and coaches and can be improved on. That being said, yes we have offensive issues too but some of that is just the personnel.

I will agree that defensively we are very poor. IUPUI was all over us and made our shots tough. There are plenty of areas to improve on. If the team is not watching film and being shown what they are doing wrong , they need to see the tape. This off-season will be very important to the improvement of the program.

Team defense is something that is taught and worked on during the season every day in practice. My concern is that Coach is in her 3rd year and has a team that has issues playing sound fundamental defense.

Agreed, defense will keep you in games. Needs to be a huge area of ficus this off season and next year. Need to know how to play man and different zones. Defense is fun to play.

Playing good defense takes intensity and hard work. I knew a coach who would not implement any zone defenses until he felt his teams was playing good sound fundamental man to man defense. Team defensive drills in practice are probably the least fun thing for players in practice but is something that can only be worked on during the season in practice. I'm not saying the team is not playing hard. What I'm saying is their fundamental man defense is poor. After Saturday's game this would be my first priority in Monday's practice. My big concern is...maybe our staff does a poor job of teaching/coaching defense. Or they don't spend enough time in practice working on it. Either way, to be successful, this needs to improve!

[Mr Meaty]

Do they have the right personnel to practice against? Hear me out first, in high school we had older guys in the community practice against us on sundays at open gym. Playing against the b squad younger players were not helping us. Who do the ladies practice against?

[Bisonionette]

The practice with the gray squad. Guys who play yard basketball. It's a good idea. Really.
