Do you hire out?

That move was money this past summer against the French.

Okay, never mind.

I'm just saying it's not that hard to learn and it's deadly for an athletic post man to have. You just curl your foot around the defender and spin around on it. His defenders cheat towards the middle because they know he only goes to the middle, and he still goes middle. He seems like he has no idea where the defense is, but then you wonder maybe he doesn't even care because all he has is the middle move anyway.

Yeah. My girls are starting to get it. But it is taking them a bit of time.

Plaisted has been a huge disappointment after this freshman year. I expect that to continue. Kid just hasn't developed.

I don't agree with this. You practice from where you want to shoot in a game. Mike Rose had trouble shooting anything inside a 3. Eric Nielsen and Keena were money hitting the 15 ft jump shot but couldn't hit 3's. Randy Reid was the last guard we've had that could kill from the 12-18 range and that's because he practiced it along with his 3's.
