brent wilson vs. coppenrath?

[wnba scout]

i think with wilson's heart he can do the job on coppenrath. he shows a great improvment foot speed and hops. did any one see him almost cram it on 2 guys from hartford. if wilson keeps it up he will be the next coppenrath in this league.

 

p.s. does any one know what his tatto means?

After seeing BWilson get pushed around against Maine, I don't think he's strong enough to guard TC. Not by himself, anyway

[AlbanyObserver]

I agree with UAalum72.

 

Put the upperclassmen (Levi, Q and Wyatt) against Coppenrath, who have played against him several times. To make matters worse on TC, I think whenever he gets the ball down in the block, you have K-Zo flash over to create the double-team. That would eliminate TC's sightlines for his next pass. Have the guy guarding TC take away baseline and K-Zo take away his moves to the middle.

 

Let a guy like Mopa Njila, Hehn or one of their bench guys beat us.

I think Rashad Bell put it best... you just let Taylor do his thing and lock down on the rest of the team.

Have we (Coach Brown) ever considered using Wyatt and Zo in the same line-up? Putting Chris at the 4 and Zo at the 5...and then putting Brent at the 3 to please and take advantage of his shooting ability. That might be an option to play with occasionally against Copp and the UVM boys.

 

More importantly, that might be something we could use against Bingo when they go big and physical. Since it looks pretty certain we'll be playing them in the tourney, this might be an option to look into.

 

I'm just kinda surprised Coach Brown hasn't (at least not that I can remember) gone with the big Wyatt AND Zo yet in the same line-up. Seems like our best option for size and power.

I think this is the KEY and Boston showed it this past weekend. Shut down TJ and cover the rest of the team hard. Certainly don't give up on Copp but that's not where I would concentrate the hardest.

I think we're getting carried away like the Siena board, wanting to coach the team. Let's leave the coaching to the coaches and lets second guess like heck afterwards.

 

The coaching staff has to worry about defense and offense. I think they've done a decent job so far.

 

Hoop is alot like chemistry every action has a reaction and I'm sure the coaches have experimented alot in practice.

Haha, good point. They're just two players on the team who I like a lot and would like to see them on the court at the same time. I thought the added size (Zo) and strength/heart (Wyatt) on the court at the same time would be great.

 

But agreed, I'll save my second guessing til afterwards ...although Coach Brown obviously really needs no second guessing. I hope he stays put!!!

[Dane Pound]

Defense wasn't really the problem in the first UVM game as Coppenrath didn't really go off. The problem was Albany couldn't score and turned the ball over a ton of times. If we could take of those two things that would have been a much more interesting game.

wnba scout - is this Sarah Sweetland? I think I read somewhere that she went to work for the NY Liberty
