IOWA GAME DAY THREAD

[whoopdeedoo]

just a little fyi (for what it's worth). listened to an interview with Bluder at least a year ago or so. she was talking about how shocked she was to see the improvement Czinano made between her freshman and sophomore year. something they did not really expect.

OK that's Kate vs. two from Iowa.  Q: is Iowa that good at developing or are we bad.  Let's hit closer to home Kate's freshman numbers are eerily to Kelsey Griffen compare and contrast those two careers.

Different Nebraska staffs.

I’m guessing that’s caveman’s point - did Yori’s staff do a better job of developing a player over a 4 year period (Griffin) than Amy’s staff did developing Cain over a period of 4 years?

I like your interpretation.  And yes, Yori's staff would probaly compare favorably against most, including Amy's.

Yori and Amy are two entirely different coaches, with different coaching styles, game planning and playing styles, game management styles, etc etc 

 

Not much was/is the same. Yori was a role playing offense, where everyone hard their position, and the starting 5 played most of the game. More structured when in the team playing mode, if that makes ay sense.

Subbing was on a more deliberate basis.  Kind of like Iowa, Mich, type teams.

 

Not the only things to point out, just some obvious ones.  Yori, with Shimmy were a great recruiting machine. They brought in high level players, where some moved on to WNBA and pro teams in Europe and Australia.

 

Weather that was a result of player development, or simply were better skilled to start with...hard to say.
