in response to underthehill:

Other than this game..Miko played her best game against Baylor..a quality opponent..We had a guy in high school who was an all american practice player who couldn't play a lick in games..works both ways..but when you have a talented player like Miko..you need her on the floor for one reason..she gives you the best chance to win ball games...go back and look at a replay of the Notre Dame game..look at the beginning when Miko was not on the floor..look at the score at the end of the half when she was on the floor..look at the the first 5 minutes starting the 2nd half when she was not on the floor..how many coaches have you heard say the first 5 minutes at the beginning and the first 5 minutes after the half will decide who wins..not always the case but is true the vast majority of time..Kamiko is clearly the leader of this team when she is on the floor..I believe this team has a chance to go undefeated in the SEC and maybe surprise in the big show..but for that to happen..the faster and more talented players are going to have to be given the chance to help..

I agree and hope that John is wrong about Kamiko not playing because she doesn't practice in a manner that suits the coaches. This isn't a rec league or an elementary school. Decisions should be made on logic, not emotion. If a player practices poorly and plays poorly in the game, it's one thing to minimize her playing time. Or if she causes problems among the other players, disciplinary actions may be called for. But determining playing time on how one does in practice versus how one plays in a game is lunacy. Can you imagine that thinking in the men's game?
