[O-State2009]

Some enterprising person needs to add up the number of minutes played by our starters vs other team's starters.

Overall on the season, Oklahoma does not have a person in the Top 10 of minutes played.

Worst performance by OU women in 13 years. Sherry was basically absent, clueless about what to do. Just let it play out. Shameful. Out coached and outplayed. Almost no hustle. No coaching changes. Whipped by a team that wanted it. I'm really disappointed, particularly in Coale. Was she even there. Oh yeah, in the white pantsuit with the Jimmy Chou shoes.

This is the 21st century. Why is it so important for some of you to carp on what women wear?

Amazing, isn't it?

In her post-game comments, Sherry indicated that we had lost four of our top seven prior to the season. I don't know that Cloman was one of the top seven, but she may have been. I do know that I think we would have started Kay Kay. Prior to their injuries, Whitney and Maddie were starting, quite effectively.

Let's know Griner, Williams, and Sims off Baylor's team and see how they do.

 

[tinysooner]

We have no one who can finish at the rim other than Maddie & Jo, Maddie is on the bench & Jo has some one all over her most of the time. Morgan is out of control when she drives the lane & she pushes the ball high off of the backboard or @ the rim, Nicole G. can barely get it over the rim, she short arms the ball & it hits the front of the rim, even if it does go it just does roll over the lip, @ 6'6'' it should be automatic from that close & Nicole K. rushes it & aims the ball @ the goal if she drives in,Vegas looks to be timid when she drives in like she is waiting for contact, & Sharane looks like she rushes her shot from close in. I wonder if we even teach how to take your defender off of the dribble or basic lay up skills in practice.

 

[SoonerNorm]

Was yesterday an aberration or is our defense getting worse? We couldn't guard the ball girl! Giving up 17 points or more to 4 of the cowgirls starters was unbelievable.

KC/RUF - Were you at the game? You really don't know **** and have a poor evaluation of players.

I looked this up a couple of games ago after Sherri again said now tired we were. I must say Bias and Donohoe did not look to tired against us and both again played 40 minutes against us. I find it interesting that Sherri in her post game interviews never gives the other team credit for anything. It is usually about how badly we played if we lose and how great we played if we won. Not like most coaches but I guess each one uses a different style.

 

[SoonerNorm]

I would say that "the players are tired" is just an excuse or, we need another S&C coach.

I think this post is extremely ill-informed. Sherri frequently credits the other team, win or lose. At the same time, her focus is on how we played, because that's the part under our control. In this she is pretty much like most coaches.

I'm just guessing that my sarcasm went right over your head.

Basically, she didn't earn her pay today.

That is what this is for:

I can only suggest you go back and read her post game quotes (I did because it seemed like I was probably wrong). She may have one line about one little thing but I have seen no evidence of crediting the other team. I am not saying this is right or wrong just a different way from say Kruger.

 

[sybarite]

When I see comments from Sherri, they tend to be concerned with what she can or can not influence. Good coaches have one concern, the performance of their team. She has mentioned the other teams, but usually in pre-game commentary. After the game, she seems to focus on what her team did or did not do that would have resulted in a better performance. This is the techinique of anyone who wishes to improve.

 

[KCRuf/Nek]

Well I wish she'd start exerting some of that influence.

 

[35TangoTango]

Well I wish she'd start exerting some of that influence.

I think all things considered, she's exerted quite a bit of influence this year.

 

[sybarite]

I mentioned that Sherri indicated that we lost four of our top seven players to injury. I also asked a question. What would Baylor look like if they lost Griner, Sims, and Williams? That really isn't a lot different from what happened to OU.

If I had to rank the ultimate value of each of the players on our team at year end, I would probably have said:
Whitney
Maddie
Vegas
Nicole Griffin
Morgan
Jo
Kay Kay
Sharane
Nicole Kornet

I don't know how to put Cloman in that top seven, but, apparently, Sherri did. But, I do think we lost our top two players (yes, I think Maddie was coming along to be that key of a player by the end of this year. In fact, I think she was our second best player at the time of her injury.)

I envisioned Nicole, Kay Kay, and Jo as being our presence inside. But, I didn't see us as an inside team. With Maddie, Vegas, Morgan, and Sharane, I saw this as a running team. Not only did we lose a very effective rebounder in Kay Kay (as well as just a presence), we lost our top two people who make things happen, both of whom happened to be all around type players.

Now, show me a team that can lose its top two players and be successful. Would Baylor even be in the top twenty five if they lost their top two? Stanford would be rather suspect with the loss of just one player. But, we still have a decent record and a chance to finish in the upper division of this conference, missing four of our top seven.

You think Sherri hasn't done a pretty good job? You think the talent we have retained isn't rather good? We're flirting with the top twenty-five with four of our top seven out. You think we don't have players and a coach?

Since it is your quote i gather you think Lon does not wish to improve?

Now, that is nothing more than an attempt to provoke a response and initiate an argument. It is silly, and you know better.
