Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 5418371, member: 966"] Defense isn't a binary thing, where you're either a shutdown team or a matador team. We will need to be [B][I]better[/I][/B] than we were last year. Significantly better. That doesn't mean top 50, but we had better be better than 150. And, just to exercise my snark for the day, i would suggest that [B][I]any[/I][/B] team that doesn't "outscore" the other team will lose. : ) Yes, we must [B]score the basketball![/B] [Sorry, more snark got loose. Happens when i eat salads.] Unfortunately, since the staff will be the same and i trust it not one iota to teach D, we will have to rely on the increase in athleticism and our new squad's inherent abilities to boost the D. That should happen, and then the Autry Apologists will say, "See! We just had bad defenders last year." They will be only be 44% correct, but will take the win nevertheless. [/QUOTE]
