  Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome. It's the U CUT Women's Basketball Coaches Show,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: our final one of the season. I'm Bob Joyce with
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame head coach Geno Oriema as the
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Husky is coming off another regular season Big East championship
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and the Big East Tournament that gets underway Saturday against
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: either Saint John's or Butler Well. Gino two wins this
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: week over Creighton and Marquette, and the common theme is
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: pressure defense, particularly off the inbounds in the well, particularly
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: in the first and second quarters of the two games,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: where you go to your small lineup, you start pressing
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the heck out of them and just denying on the inbounds.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, so many five second calls, so many turnovers
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: off inbounds the last couple of games. And you know,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: it's amazing how things work when you decide to guard
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the on the inbound all of a sudden and get
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: all the turnovers they had I think twenty one points
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: off turnovers in each of the last two games against
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: pretty good, pretty good teams in the Big East.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's hard to explain other than we have
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: spent some time on it, and we're going to spend
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: some more time on it this week, and I think
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: once it happens, I think inbounders get a little bit
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: gun shy kids don't work as hard to get open.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: You know. We added Aubrey to the list of people
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: out there.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Doing some putting on some of the pressure, and she's
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: different than anybody we have, so I think we're working
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: harder at it. We've vamped up the pressure a little bit,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: starting with the inbounds pass a while there. All we
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: were doing was trying to put pressure after the ball
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: been inbounded, and I mean that's fine, but it's not
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: nearly as effective as as what you've seen in the
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: last couple of games. So it doesn't always work. When
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: it's not done great like we had that this weekend.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: You give up open threes, which is probably why a
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: lot of teams don't press as much as they used to.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: You know, used to give up a two. So what now?
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: You know, we gave up back to back threes the
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: other day to start the game. And so it's effective
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: as long as you can get back in time, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: we'll see where it takes us. You know, I think
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: as long as it's effective, you know, we can we
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: can keep using it, you know, we might have to
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: change up.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: What it looks like, sure, which I like to do.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But let's see what happens this weekend.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Right with the depth that you have now and that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: one included in South Carolina where you knew you had
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to mix up your defenses and it certainly helps to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: see the ball go in the basket. But now you
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: have all these pieces that you didn't have in the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: last couple of years and able to do different things defensively.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: In order to play that way, a couple of things
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: come into play.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You can't foul. I mean, it.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Defeats the whole purpose if you're going to if you're
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: going to press like that and then foul. And you
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: have to be able to substitute, keep fresh legs out there.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: And we do have more more opportunities, more bodies to
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: do that with this year. And the final piece of
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: that is you have to be able to shoot with
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: someone tired legs, you know, because if you're going like
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: that NonStop, you're gonna get worn down a little bit quicker.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And you know that's the other thing. You do have
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to practice shooting.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: When you know when you're tired, and there's a lot
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: of things that come into it, you know, but the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: points off turnovers is worth it. Causing the other team
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to play much much faster than they want to play.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: You know, there's so many benefits to it. You just
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: got to manage the downside to it.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Do you sense with some of your veterans now now
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: that we are into March, they're getting a little bit
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: cranked up again because February sometimes, okay, outside the South
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Carolina games, February can be a bit of a grind
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: where you're just trying to fight through the wall and
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: you see March coming. Now March is here. Do you
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: see a little extra pep in their step? Knowing that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: now there are you know what March is all about
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: at Yukon, You know what the expectations are.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: I mean you have to try to you have to
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: try to prepare for that in February. By you can't
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: exhaust every player in practice during the month of February.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You have to cut practice is shorter.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: You have to change the way you practice in February
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: because if they're exhausted, it's not easy to all of
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: a sudden flip the switch and be good to go
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: in March. You know, I think we've managed to do that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: And now the good thing is we had this week
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: to get ready and then it's three games in three
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: days and then we don't play again for twelve days
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: or whatever it is thirteen days. So it's a delicate
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: thing that you're trying to manage, and so far, you know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: seems like knock on wood. These last couple of years.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: We've well, the last thirty years, you know, we've we've
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: handled it. We've handled it pretty well. So let's hope
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: it's still there.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the banners on the wall would be testament to that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: We're with geno Orium on this Wednesday night ahead of
• 4:55
