I think the landscape of women's basketball and what it takes to win has changed rapidly, especially in the last couple of years. I think we are moving away from beautiful finesse basketball to a much more physical game dominated by talented physical players. In a way, it's becoming more like the men's game.
I wonder if this change might present a challenge for Tara, who has almost always designed her offense around the finesse concept and with some exceptions, has recruited players who can play in that kind of system.
I wonder if a season like this might give Tara pause to consider recruiting more physical (talented) players coming out of HS; not necessarily an entire team, but one or two players of that mold for each recruiting year. An alternative approach would be, recruiting tough gritty players in the mold of a Lexie Hull- not physically big, but hard as nails.
