If the angels are gonna win certain players are gonna have to have double digits. They need to leave starters on floor together more and lay off the subbing. Let the girls play threw there mistakes, get some rhythm going and develop chemistry. This is a young team with new coaches, it will take time to get the bugs worked out. I think this was a good pick on coaches they will bring stabity to the program which is long needed.

Congrats Tigers

Just leave the girls and the coaches alone,they will all be ok in the long run.
