Sometimes I cannot figure out our offense

[SoonerNorm]

I can't always figure out what Sherri wants to do. She apparently still wants outside shooters to shoot whether they can make them or not. Today, the smart thing (IMO) would have been to attack inside, attack inside, attack inside, and continue to attack inside as Nicole and Kaylon both had a lot of success scoring at will. Not only were they scoring but both were also getting fouled. If we would have made that our #1 objective, I believe Griffin could have scored a lot more than she did and might have fouled out some defenders in the process. Griffin shot 82% from the field while Kaylon shot 86%.

Other than four threes, weren't all of our scores on the inside? We either scored inside or got fouls trying to get inside. That was our scoring. But, it is tougher to get inside, as a rule, if you can't hit from outside. Today, we probably could have scored more inside. But, we had some players on the floor that wanted to score---outside.

Also, the officials let them strip us of the ball or called charges went we went inside. We lost several due to "clean" strips as we were trying to get inside. I think when Griffin, Williams, and Campbell score 44 of our 76 when we have Hook and Vegas, that's pretty much an attempt to go inside more than normal.

Since you brought it up, I don't get it. We are getting killed on the boards, yet they don't have an answer for Nicole or Kaylon. Pound it inside until they stop us.

or Kaylon fouls out

It is interesting that they rarely call fouls on those covering Griffin and Kaylon. Griffin shot a couple of free throws. I don't think Kay Kay shot any, and they blocked a couple of her shots. On one, they "blocked" it, and she committed a foul on the "rebound," all in one motion? Fascinating call.

That's because Kaylon immediately reached in to try to knock the ball out of her hands. That is what we were talking about the other day, palm up vs palm down.

The ball was still in her hands. I don't see how they could have called it a reach-in without calling a foul on them first based on the type of contact. The contact was with the body as she went up. They called it on her as they came down.

Maybe you're talking about a different play. The one I was talking about, Kaylon got her shot blocked, the defender grabbed the ball then Kaylon reached in to slap the ball and got called for the foul.

On that one the announcers said foul but they were wrong. It was just out of bounds off Kaylon.
