Guru Report: Drive She Said

by Andy Lipton

Yes, it’s a take on the title of 1971 movie directed by Jack Nicholson about a college basketball player, called Drive, He Said.

Coach Sandy Brondello lamented the other day about her team’s lack of driving the basketball.  

The New York Liberty is last in the WNBA in foul shot attempts.  

Arguably, the lack of driving is making it easier for opposing teams to defend the outside shot. It is also  resulting in less foul trouble for opposing players and less chances for easy points at the foul line.

Sami Whitcomb, Rebecca Allen, and Marine Johannes all have the athleticism and the ball handling ability to drive the ball.  So why aren’t they doing more of it?
