Conner played tenacious on-ball defense with quick hands to pick pockets. She was constantly on the hunt to force turnovers. She moved her body into position to contest everything. She made a help-side block and hung to reject the driver at the rim. ...

🏀 is a game of possessions!
“When talent meets talent, talent is no longer enough.” - Inky Johnson Most equate this quote to hard work, and this is absolutely true, but from a coaching standpoint, this means WIN THE POSSESSIONS BATTLE. - Win the possessions battle when your talent is < opponents
