Me thinks some players should get more playing time and others less?

I'm confused, who is the starting small forward on this team. Is it really Cappie???? If we go with the three guard line up then I think Diana should be at the 3. I think she has all the intangibles to be a good slashing type small forward. However, I would get rid of the three starting line up, have Cappie come off the bench, and start either strother or snell at small forward. I just think sometimes the bench may play and on the court at the same time will be jackson and pettis, who are so similar in style of play. I think Cappie would provide a real spark off the bench............... Oooo ya, and let this game be the last where T. Jackson has more shot attempts than Taurasi....

they started a 3 guard lineup but when the game started cappie was guarding powell but then taurasi started guarding her after like two posessions.

as far as tj goes she does jack up way too many shots but thats the offense he wants to shoot five seconds into every possession and for the most part the pg is still going to have the ball in their hands so if tj is playing the point she is going to put it up. People compared "paul ball" to the suns but its very different the suns like to drive and kick..."paul ball" appears to be pass the ball up court and heave it up then press with 4 people leaving one person to guard two people if the ball gets past midcourt.

one thing that bothered me though is us being down by 20+ and our coach sitting on the bench watching the game while sacramento's coach is up yelling and coaching. The other highlight of the game that you would've seen if you watched it on tv was KR. Here were the people on the floor:

tj
snell
pettis
strother
kr

coach stands up and yells "kristen your 5"...."kristen your the 5"..."5"..."you(while holding up 5 fingers)"...who did she think was the 5??? strother??? lol i guess she just didn't want to rebound.

I noticed PaulBall wasnt on his feet much as he had given up--who knows?Iam used to coaches who stand and yell till the end!

This coach is trying to have these woman play like the men, as he hasnt coached woman before and just dont know how it will work yet as its too soon to tell? There is a difference between men and woman players, atheletes in general, maybe he doesnt see that, or thinks it doesnt matter? We will see as the games tell the story if PaulBall is successfull or it turns into Paul slow it downBall?
