The Internal Explosion of Bearcats

I know this has been touched on before, but I went out to the Port last night and that team is not what it was last year.
As soon as Sturt started pulling away West had absolutely no answers.

Their starting 5 from last year was no where to be seen.
Rintala obviously went interstate, their import didn't come back.
Fejo not playing (and rumours that she doesn't want to play), Simmons out, Skye Langderbring quit.
Their bench - both Pearce sisters, Mikayla Lappin (all west juniors) gone.

It appears that West are resting on their laurels, putting all their attention (and money) on the men's side.


McKay went from 5 minutes a game to starting 5.
Genna and Molley went from a sh*tshow at Noorwood where people were quitting because of the coach, to West.... where people are quitting.
Their new import is reasonable, but as soon as the first sub is called, the team turns to poop.

So now the question is.... where to for West women?

Is that the same coach that won the Championship last year?

And the same club that released the Assistant Coach that's going to end up costing the club a bucketload in legal fees?

Asking for a friend.

It's the same deep pockets that won the championship last year. Just poorly coached and managed by the club.

Legal fees? That's a nice one for the committee to explain to it's members.

Focus on mens program is hurting the women, light show pregame is just one of the indicators that the club went ALL in on mens championship this year. Women are second and they know it - reigning premiers and all!

Coaching of the women is poor, communication is poor, coaches just let them run, and hope the girls sort it out on floor. losing Vicki was damaging both to Morale and to the game.

Against sturt, rotations were tricky without Fejo, who was unwell. Simmons was allowed to play wen she was a crow, Power have a different policy.

BUT coach didn't get the minutes rotation right.... to play McKay extended minutes wasn't good. Japanese player a better point guard, and young sienna was doing well and could of been given more minutes.
Genna and Molly subbed too early.
Its a mess.
They just gave up, and by they I mean the coaches.

Watched the game Saturday and agree about the coaching. Was a mess. Limited personnel wise yes but they were in a good position at the half and it totally disintegrated

Give all of McKays minutes to the young guard that played on Saturday

The tall import is bad
