  Speaker 1: Back with Gino here in the Yukon Women's Basketball coach
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: A Show, of Course. The women take on Fairleigh Dickinson
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday night. Our radio coverage begins at six thirty,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: game tips off shortly after seven here in the Yukon
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Sports Network, the Varsity Network app, and the Varsity Network
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: dot Com. We'll discuss that night in a segment or
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: two here on the Coach of Show with Gino. I
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: thought Ice Brady gave you a fantastic game. Yeah, she
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: got in a little bit of foul trouble, but can't complain.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I mean she hit a couple of big shots, she
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: hauled down nine boards, she gave you three assists in
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: a couple of blocks. I mean, she's starting to get
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: comfy again.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: She really did. I thought she played a really solid game.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: You know, she hadn't been shooting the ball grade, so
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: for her to make it for those was really really Also,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: it's not just her, but it's also Jenna and some
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: of our other players as well. I think we've got
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: to continue to make them understand it. They can't put
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: themselves in, you know, on the bench with fouls. We
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: just don't have the luxury of being able to do that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: So that was probably the only negative because there were
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of really really great health defens you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: defensive plays. Her health defense was was really really good.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: And I think the more, you know, the more these
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: kids play together, the more time they spend on the floor,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: both practice and games, We're going to see them, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: do some really really nice things as we go on.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, speaking of Jenna, she had a big second chance
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: hoop late fourth quarter of basically give you guys back
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: to double digits. But there was like a four minute
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: stretch where neither team scored. The lead was eight. You've
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: finally call the time out and I guess you got
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: the shot that you want. And I don't exactly recall
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: who shot it, probably Paige, but see Jenna get the
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: rebound and the putback. That just seemed to settle things
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: down a little bit. Then Paige finished it off with
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a couple of hoops.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Jenna. Yeah, Penna's a you know, she's a big she's
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a big presidence in there. Man. You know, she's she's
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: active and she's aggressive. She wants to mix it up
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: once to get involved, can finish around the basket with
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: both hands, you know, you know, We talked yesterday, she
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: and I and we said, it's only been three games.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: She's only played three games in their career, and uh,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be some growing pains. Uh. And right now,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you know, some of the fouls are are part of that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: You know, they're a direct result of that. So as
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I said with Ice, you know, the more time she
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: spends on the floor, the more time she's in practice
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: with this group, the better she's going to get. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I I like, I like her future. She's got a
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: tremendous upside. And you know her and Sarah are going
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to be together for four years. Uh, Jenna and Isaac,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: you know, and Sarah are going to be together for
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: three years. So these these guys are going to start
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: building some some really good chemistry together and it'll it'll
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: be it'll be quite a it'll it'll be quite a
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: sight when they're they're all experienced enough, which will come,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: which will come?
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, uhs first half of the game Friday night,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: man a man North Carolina, they just could not stop you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: And then you build a lead of twenty. Then they
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: go zone and shot start don't start falling. Things change
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: a little bit and Carolina gets it to within a
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Were you a little concerned or was it just the
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: offense just getting stagnant and just dealing with the zone defense.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, two things can happen, right, I mean a team
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: changes defenses and you you still get good shots and
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: they don't go in, and you just keep getting those
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: same shots and you got to knock them in. And
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: we didn't do that. You know, shooters that normally make
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: shots for us didn't make any, including Page when you know,
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: when cold for a little bit, and that's where you
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: need some size and you need some rebounding, You need
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: some you know, somebody that bail you out on some
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: of those possessions. But the real problem came that when
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: we stopped scoring, our defense got worse. Yeah, so instead
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: of you know, instead of us playing better defense because
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: we weren't scoring, you know, they were able to get
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: out there and get some momentum with their offense because
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of you know, how poorly we how many mistakes we
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: made defending them. So, yeah, it was a great learning experience.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: I told the team, I said, look, if we had
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: gone from up twenty to up thirty five, I'm not
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: sure we would have learned as much as we learned
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: by having to you know, kind of manage the game
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and then take the place we had to make down
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: the stretch.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Is that just based on the group that you have
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: right now, just being younger than that, say, you know
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the page Aliyah Nike ad trio that you had last season.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a little bit different. But if
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you remember at the beginning of last season, it didn't
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: look so great, right right, you know, you know it's uh,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: it's always a it's always a toss up at in
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: the beginning of the season what you're going to get,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you know, what it's going to look like, and it
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: it's going to vary. Now, we just have so many,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: so many young players. I mean we have five we
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: have five players here out of our ten that are
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: eligible to play. We have five players that have never
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: played at Yukon. Yeah. Yeah, And you know we put
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: different lineups out there now, so we got you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: we got some great lineups, we got some mediocre lineups.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: We've got some lineups that just don't work. But when
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you're in when when you're in a foul situation, now
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: you're going to end up with some funny lineups out there,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and uh, it's not always going to be pretty well.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing about early season. You get to it,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: experiment more with Gino on the Women's Basketball Coaches Shows.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: We continue here on a Monday night, here on Liarfield
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to stay with us
