  Speaker 1: Back with Gino Oriama on the Women's Basketball Coaches show
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: him your host Bob Joyce. Women will take on USC Saturday.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: We'll be at the Galen Center in Los Angeles. Pregame
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: at five with Dead Fisk and myself. That's five Eastern,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: tip off shortly after five thirty on the Yukon Sports Network,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the Varsity Network app, and the Varsitynetwork dot Com. Gino
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Sarah Williams seventeen minutes was four for five, eight points,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: four boards, three assists in the game. Where's her confidence
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: level at right now? Because I know at the beginning
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: of the year it seemed like she was very rushed
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and you know, still trying to figure things out as
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a husky. Where have you seen her progress?
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: It kind of a you know, it flows even within
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the even within the same quarter. I think you'll see
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: first where she's able to get the ball, where she
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: wants to get a bucket, where ever she wants it, uh,
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: you know, and defensively, she'll you know, she'll be in
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the right place at the right time. And uh, I
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: think our big thing with with Sarah is her ability
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: two Uh, stay in the moment, stay consistent, don't dribble
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: yourself out of a really good possession. Don't rush yourself
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: out of something, am h. Don't commit silly foules so
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: you can stay in the game. I think little by little,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: you know, she's chipping away at all the things that
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I believe she has the ability to chip away at
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: and and become more reliable score inside, become more reliable
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: rebounder and defense to pressure or presence. I should say so,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I see it, but it's not on an ongoing basis yet.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, having played one system for three years
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and the responsibilities that she had on her shoulders from
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: a scoring and rebounding standpoint, then to come here where
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: you're playing with a lot of really good players on
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: your team. I mean imagine it's got to be a
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: big adjustment for her just to adjust to what the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, the expectations are high, but at least the
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: style and what you have around you. It's got to
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: be a big adjustment for her.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: It is, I think it is. I think it's a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: big adjustment for anyone who comes into this program after
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: they've been used to a different style of play at
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the pace of the game. And yeah, the expectation level,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the amount of scrutiny on the game. All those things
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: take takes. I'm getting used to. But she's a talented
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: kid who has a lot of skills to work with.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And uh, she's a she's a thinker, unfortunately, and she
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: has a tendency to overthink things. You know. I like
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: kids who are really smart in school and don't think
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: much on the basketball court. I like those guys. Is
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that a little bit much of a thinker?
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Is that more of an issue you have to deal
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: with this stay and age with the players that you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: have as opposed to previous years or or even like say,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: ten years ago. Is it different now?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I don't I don't know. I think we always have.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You always have your share of players who just play
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: and players who have to think things through all the time.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: And we've had some great players who were thinkers. And
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: we asked a lot of really good players who just play,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you know, who don't get you know, who don't get
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: into too much of it, but you know, should I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: do this or that or this? Well? What if this?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: What if that? Just let it be comm instinctive, you know.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And and I think we had a long talk the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: other day, and she understands it. I think she she
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: understands it, and I would expect that with each practice,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: in each game that we play, it'll get it'll get
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: better and better.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, one thing that you know, in the years
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that I've done this with you, one of the phrases
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I always hear is figure it out because there are
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: so many options, Like particularly in the offensive vent, it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: not just run a particular play and has to run
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: this way. You could do X Y and z off
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: certain movements. And that's obviously something that takes time to
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: figure out, not just here at Ukon, but I'm sure
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: it's other places. But that's part of the challenge though,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: because you really it's that f in line between thinking
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: about it and not thinking about it. Once you get comfortable.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: It is, it is, and and the freedom that we
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: give and we give our players, uh that comes that
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: comes out of that comes out a price that comes
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: out of costs, you know. So Uh, sometimes it's easier
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to play when everything is really structured for you, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you know, you go from a to be to seed
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to be and that's that. And I've never aspired to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that because I think the it limits your ability to
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: grow as a player. Now you just become really good
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: at running a play. So giving you a lot of
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: you know, a lot of options, are a lot of
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: freedom to just play within you know, the concept of
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: our offense. It takes, uh, it takes some time because
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: sometimes you know, young, your first here with us. No,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I have three options on this. Yeah, well, while I'm
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: thinking about the first first one, second one, and third one,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: all three are going. Now you waste the five seconds
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: thinking about it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a freshman quarterback looking at his past patterns, right.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Exactly, that's right. Yeah, that's right.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: That's pretty absolutely yea more Gino. The U kind of
• 6:29
