Great coaching job

I meant to say something about the Baylor women winning the NC in hoops the other night. I only saw parts of the game and had never seen the Lady Bears play before, but they did the best job of passing against a zone defense that I have ever seen. They were unselfish. They were so well-prepared that they always seemed to know where the next open pass should go. And they executed their passes with tremendous skill. With the exception of one guard (who had a tendency of throwing soft, high, looping passes to the wing), their passes were sharp, well-timed and right on the money.

A lot of fans don't appreciate how much difference a foot or two off can make on a pass. A pass right on the hands chest high means the recipient gets off her shot unimpeded. If that pass is a little lower and behind, the recipient has to adjust which gives the defender time to recover and the shot is taken under pressure. Over the course of a game and a season, it can make quite a difference.
