maybe you should notice some of the points
made as hard as they are to read. I am
embarrassed on the paragraph but the
over emphasis on height seems too extreme.
Would you take Holmes for example?



Didn't notice them because I stopped reading right away.

It was unreadable.

Regarding Holmes or someone like her, this isn't a binary choice. We're seeing a lot more height in women's basketball lately, more skilled offensive players with height. There is room for both a forward and a prototypical post player who isn't giving two or three inches when defending at the blocks.

The NCAA Tournament requires six wins in a row against teams that play a variety of styles and that have a variety of strengths. The teams that are best in a single elimination tournament are the ones that have the most ways to win. They can adapt to tempo, score inside when shots aren't falling, defend guard oriented teams, defend post oriented teams, and win rebounding battles. Next year's Fighting Irish have enough talent to make a run at a championship. Having answers for a variety of other teams' strengths is the way to avoid a stumble along the way. That includes an answer for a dominant post player.
