There are 400,000 female basketball players in America alone. Can we find some snipers and some guards with speed?
We also need quicker and stronger inside play under the boards.
400,000

Very poorly coached job on out part. Did I hear the announcer correctly say their coach was a rookie? I would disagree, what specifically is an example of bad coaching? We just ran into a BUZZSAW yesterday. When a team goes 10 of 16 for 63% from behind the arc, spread among 4 players that's a tough stop. Coach adjusted the defense on the first hot shooter with a taller player, he adjusted to a matchup zone/press that basically got us back in the game. When we got back in the game, he ran plays to the low post at least two times, but instead of our player using a ball fake on a player with 4 fouls she rushed the shot and had two bad misses resulting in a four-point swing. Granted we could have played better defense, shot 3s better (1 for 11), or wore different sneakers, but I don't think coaching was the problem. We just ran into a BUZZSAW. I bet the shots don't fall today! GREAT season Ladies!!! BTW, Danielle Santos Atkinson is entering her fourth season at the helm of the Hofstra women's basketball program in 2022-23. |

I don't care if she has coached 1 day, 1 year or whatever, she out coached our coach in that game.
To answer your question as to why I feel that Coach Robinson coached bad in this game, check your stats you gave for their 3 point percentage.
You have your opinion and I have mine. Coach Robinson is a good coach but he is not above criticism.
Sometimes he is tooo laid back in his coaching style. In games of this magnitude too me he should be a little more forceful or something to spark the players to play better.

Coach Robinson is a good coach but he is not above criticism. Sometimes he is tooo laid back in his coaching style. In games of this magnitude too me he should be a little more forceful or something to spark the players to play better. Been waiting on this post, this is the exact same coaching style that won you 12 games in your first CAA season good enough for 5th in a conference you were picked to finish 9th, with a win at the regular season champ place without your leading scorer and rebounder. Our trap works and frustrates offenses at the same time when teams are able to break it, it can lead to open 3 pt looks. Thursday Hofstra had one young lady who literally could not miss and as a team they shot 10-16 from 3 we hit 1-11 (27 point difference right there). Now yes we could have definitely shot better from 3 but 63% from you can't anticipate from your opponent. All that said still rolling with most consistent program on campus (outside of womens bowling) past 10+ years. These young ladies really play the game the right way and are tenacious defensively, even with her scoring prowess, Bracone has CAA defensive POY written all over her next season. We above me, commit to grit, level up. I'm rolling with Lady Aggie basketball |

The issue is "this" game not the entire season. Granted we were missing Harris but to "me" Coach Rob did not make the appropriate adjustments in this game to stop the "3".
This was the playoffs and whether we were fully loaded or not, to me, Robinson was too laid back in getting his girls to play harder. He didn't look fully engaged coaching and that maybe why the team did not look fully engaged.

In games of this magnitude too me he should be a little more forceful or something to spark the players to play better. You are the one that brought rookie coach, implying that coaching experienced maters, now it doesn’t matter? Nobody said he was above criticism, surely we can agree criticism is sometimes misplaced. To laid back? Are you remotely suggesting our Women didn’t play hard because Coach was to laid back? Is that your opinion or a fact. Obviously you weren’t at the game and that’s not an opinion! Obviously you didn’t see Coach in huddle during time-outs, obviously you didn’t see Coach on the sidelines during play, obviously you didn’t see Coach on the sideline during the stoppage of play, obviously you didn’t see Coach down the stretch, and obviously your opinion is based on a filtered bias, and no facts. You raised the 3pt stat as an example of bad coaching, I guess that’s the best you could up with. Even with that stat, a 27 point swing, because we only made 1, we were still in the game down the stretch, because in my opinion coaching. The players and coaches could have thrown in the towel at the start of the 4th when we were down double digits. If we had shot 40% or even 30% from behind the arc, or not missed, as I stated earlier, two or three low-post plays called by Coach for go ahead baskets down the stretch. At some point player execution is the difference. You are correct, my opinion is just that my opinion, but for the people that didn’t see the game I want them to know that your opinion is a load of crap, based on more BS! |

77 were you at the game in person? Did you watch it on Flo? Did you watch it at all? If u only saw it on tv as I did then you saw it one way and I saw it another way.
I am not biased towards Coach Rob, merely stating what I observed in this game. His DNA that multiple Aggie fans criticize him for is he is too laid back on the sidelines especially in critical situations and Big games.
Yes he has won a few MEAC Championships and he blew 2 in a row in Norfolk with double digit leads at half time by laid back coaching when the other teams made runs.
Evidently I misheard about her being a rookie coach. However, she still has less experience as a head coach as Robinson. I think she has 3 or 4 years to his 10 or 11.
But back to the game he did not make adjustments to stop the 3 and that is the reason we lost. Another factor was they out hustled us and were more motivated. That comes from coaching.
But, besides those previously mentioned factors why we lost, our team can't shoot!!
There are 400,000 female basketball players in America alone. Find some real deal snipers, fasssttt guards and some mean, lean, agile Bigs that can shoot. rebound and make a lay up and put backs.
77 face it. We did good in this league for the first time. We were more pretenders than contenders and it caught up with us.
Coach Rob ain't in the MEAC no mo. He got to honestly step up his game also.

Yes I was at the game third row mid-court , that’s why I completely disagree with your opinion. I don’t disagree that program improvements will be needed to remain competitive, but I thought we were discussing the Hofstra game, specifically Coach’s lack of game winning adjustments? I think your Coach Rob bias is seeping in when start talking about the MEAC, 400k female basketball players, and how the players can’t shoot, and are slow. I thought the issue was Coach couldn’t coach. I watched the Hofstra/W&M game yesterday. W&M deployed the same matchup zone defense in the half court. Hofstra got the same shots, but went 6 for 20. Go back an watch it, but this time turn the sound up so you don’t mishear anything.LOL! |

Injuries change the way you coach and prepare for opponents. Coach Rob probably knew what adjustments he wanted to make to defend the 3pt bombardment by Hofstra, but when he looked down the bench he did not have the right personnel so he made do with what he had. This is not an in-game coaching problem but a depth problem due to unbalanced recruiting. The men have the same unbalanced recruiting problem. They are too top heavy on guards and lacking in Big men depth.

I am specifically talking about the Hofstra game that you and I watched, you in person and me on tv. I gave the example of two games lost in the past because of his coaching style. He coached against Hofstra as he did in those games, tentative and layed back with seemingly no sense of urgency. You and maybe a couple of more can make all the excuses you want as to why they were hitting 3's all day long. A good coach will make adjustments to stop them. Hell a lot of 3's were shot wide open. DID YOU SEE DAT 77? We really do need to upgrade our players. We are not in the MEAC anymore. So for³ me I saw the coaching one way and you saw it another way. Hint to the wise is sufficient, we got to upgrade in all areas including coaching to succeed in this conference. I believe we will. Oh, I could care less about the W&M game because I ain't got no meat in the game. My eyes tell me everything I need to know. With the volume up or down Coach Rob coached bad against a team we had previously beaten by 20 or close to it. Explain that 77. Out and through with it because it is softball, track, baseball and tennis time with a little golf in between. Miss the Swim Team!!! |

Brandy Thomas was the only Hofstra player knocking down shots with hands in her face. The other players were shooting wide open 3s because of that zone. If we would’ve played “small ball” I think we win(that’s how we beat Drexel). Gota go out and get two athletic bigs and another Acox imo… |

Also we basically beat ourselves giving them the ball in turnovers. Rob did his job period. Some need to stop with the BS . |

Saab ain't no bs in describing how bad he coached. Quit making excuses for him. He coached bad.
Just finish talking to a friend on the phone and that game came up. Before I could say "boo" my friend said the coach blowed the game.
He did not do what he was suppose to do and that is why we are at home. Our team with better coaching should have won that game.
Also, Saabman your word ain't absolute so the "bs" comment is just that "bs". You don't know any more than me or anyone else on this site although you think you do.
Sorry.
400,000 female basketball players in America and more than enough qualified coaches available also.

I call shooting 60+% from behind the arc red hot, especially coming from multiple players. I keep hearing bad coaching but no example of what the adjustment should have been. |
