Re: If the point guard is the only person who's willing to take shots and also is the only person who is willing/able to get herself open, then you can't blame her. Amy Waugh is NOT this team's problem - she is its strength. I don't think she took one ill-advised shot on Sunday. If the post players can't get themselves open - which is something they will gain with experience - then she can't get them the ball. Once they come around, things will be fine. Amy Waugh is the heart and soul of this team and would do anything in the world to help it win. Place your blame elsewhere. -- Xavier Women's Basketball Message Board

None of the players should be blamed for couple of losses..we are still early on the season. I think it was a good overall mark from whomever that usually teams with PG's taking most of the shots don't suggeed. Amy and Reetta are wonderfull and XU possesses one of the best backcourts in the Nation. Anyway, HomerC, your knowledge and judgement seems very limited..

Um, all I really said was not to blame Amy, and then you basically agreed with that and then said I don't know what I'm talking about. That makes a lot of sense. Anyway, I'm not going to get in a net argument over who knows more about women's basketball - you win. I just think next time you want to criticize someone's statement, you should back it up with a decent reason. I think it's a dubious statement to make that Amy and Reetta are taking too many shots when Kate Kreager is leading the team in scoring and Shavon Bell is right up there. Those two players are very inexperienced at this level when compared to Piippari and Waugh, so basically, I didn't see where his argument made any sense. But, my "knowledge" and "judgement" is limited. Boo hoo. -- HomerCecil, 15:21:28 12/05/01 Wed
