Maddie Simon

[Husker Joe]

Just wondering why Maddie doesn't get more minutes. When she does play it seems she is on a pretty short lease. One mistake and she's back on the bench. To me it looks like she has a lot of upside potential and with more minutes and confidence that one mistake doesn't get her pulled she would make great gains.

Maddie is like a box of chocolates------you never know what your gonna get. ??

 

 

on the serious side, she can look so good and you hope she is over the hump---------next thing you know, she can have you shaking your head.

Sports 101 get the ball in the hands of your best athlete and let them make a play.  Normally shes the best athlete on the floor the second she steps foot on the court.  That being said she plays timid and robotic.  Long story short, the mistakes look to me like they are happening cause she's too affraid to make mistakes, she needs to just relax and play.  If she would cut loose and play she'd be hard to stop.  More minutes less minutes,  not sure what's needed, just get your best athlete performing at a high level.

You hit the nail on the head.  Just play and goo things happen.

Maybe her uncle Mark should give her some coaching.

Maddie, like every one on the roster need to continue to improve their skills. Some just have developed those skills sooner than others.  She's getting better, and will continue to do so. Coach will decide when she's ready and how she contributes...like everyone on the roster.

 

In some ways, the current make up of the team, may not allow Maddie to get the full use of her skills.

Maddie seems to be better in the open court when the Huskers can run. So maybe next year will be her year; in that she will have a year and a summer to get the system down.
