But this is a different team with different needs. Of course, a complementary player is an important part of a team, and I noted La Rocque’s significance to Stanford’s success last season many times.

It will be enjoyable to see what Tara can do with all this new speed and quickness. I predict that by March Stanford will be a whole different ball team - pressing, trapping, overplaying, gambling, stealing, fastbreaking at RPMs never before seen on the Farm. They'll be playing in April again next year. The two Sydneys and Tara White plus a terrific defensive game plan more than compensated for Stanford's size, strength, and intelligence.

" And this isn't an important member of a successful team? It was only when Tara got frightened that Jeanette might get another foul that she would throw out her game plan and put Toni in the mix. She didn't want Toni coming off the bench cold. Well look what happened at the final game. Jeanette never gets another foul. Toni makes two big turnovers and the starting five that beat UConn is only seen for 4 or 5 minutes of the game. How does that fit with the team?
