DeWanna Bonner, who abandoned the Fever so she could play with her fiancée is losing her lesbian mind & the security guard is trying his darnest not to laugh at Sophie Cunningham egging her on 😂
It is awful trying to get away from @Xfinity. The customer service was just so rude and after he told me my phone had to be paid off and I can only self generate information on the app, turns out he was wrong on both accounts. Very glad to be moving on.

@JonnyRoot_ Just curious…why is it a problem? What makes it negative? What is positive about roster continuity?
I can see it being an issue when it’s only about money, or if players aren’t graduating. But what’s your position based on? Your take implies it’s negative just by happening.
Switching defenses can be countered with slips of posting mismatches. It’s hard to spend the extra time teaching how to read what the defense gives you if you’re used to just running sets and high ball screen offense.
Michigan won the title last night because of its defense. That's no surprise. But I'm becoming increasingly convicted through coaching against it and watching it that if you have the personnel, switching 1–4 with your 5 in drop is one of the best defensive systems you can run.
It kills actions early and forces offenses out of their flow. Most teams end up defaulting to isolation or mismatch hunting, which slows everything down and plays right into the defense’s hands.
And when you pair that with a legit rim-protecting 5, even the cracks that do show up aren’t clean, because there’s still size waiting at the rim.
At every level, teams think they can handle switching, but most don’t have real answers once they’re forced to play outside of what they practice. Another reason why it's so important to practice against every coverage and empower your players to continue to find solutions against it!
Most problems I've seen at the HS level and even some college level has been against SWITCHING defenses that are aggressive!
UConn averaged 18 fouls per game. They were severely undersized against Illinois and committed 21 fouls in the Final Four. Not a peep from anyone about fouls that game though. They were severely undersized against Michigan and committed 22 fouls last night. This is who UConn is.

It is elite for a coach to see this and make an adjustment, and then get his team to adjust. (Of course, it’s really just Cadeau who had to be smart enough to change)
Again, not taking anything away from him. But……not out of this world.
Nice read from @Williams_Justin
