That interviewer is great!
CCC's attitude that winning is not that important, or however she would phrase it, is admirable, but ...Sounds like Jones was not happy with her role going forward. I'm by myself on this. Maybe it wasn't a changed role, maybe she was just not happy with the O being Lauren in the post and everyone else watches, every time.
She's happy with 10 players. I was hoping that she would find a way to get some younger players, who are not 5 stars, who are happy to be on the team and learn, and maybe be in position to be role players in 26-27. Do they scrimmage in practice? If she has one lady sitting out, she doesn't have enough players to scrimmage.
I don't think she's self-aware enough. She's still blaming a 35 point loss on effort.
It's interesting, seems like Sienna is a very similar player to Janiah. (Janiah, at least according to an announcer) was a good 3 pt shooter at A&M and was very good at beating people on the dribble. Maybe, just maybe, since it's a Betts, CCC will give Sienna much more opportunity to face up than Janiah got.
I'm super surprised that Timeah stayed. She's so much more talented than being a 12 minute/game player.
Can't wait until next year!
