True but you often give up more than you gain when it comes to defensive rebounds and transition plays. The junk defense works well against us when Holmes and Atkins are in foul trouble or otherwise off their game.
I disagree that Karen doesn't respond to it. It only resulted in a loss this year twice - which is two too many - but both times fatigue seemed the bigger problem. (Holmes is on record as saying she has never been that fatigued before and had trouble playing through it the final two weeks of conference).
Even the NC State coach admitted he should have gotten out of the junk sooner than he did because our starters came back in and made the adjustment. And Karen admits her players didn't make the adjustment soon enough and credits fatigue with the young players as the primary factor.
This is a young team (two seniors) that has had an amazing season so far. I have zero complaints. "Dumb", "bonehead", "rigid" all seem to better describe the poster rather than the team especially considering the awards received and currently being considered.
