Because she's 5-6 and going into 6-5 and the refs allowing contact to the body. That's my best guess, but not sure.Bone Squad said:
This chart confirms something I thought, but hesitated to say because I was afraid I might be overemphasizing a few anomalous anecdotes.
Yes, Sarah's 3 point shooting is about as good as you could ask for. But why does she struggle so mightily to finish at the rim? What I see is her beating her defender and getting to the basket for a layup that for someone with her talent should be nearly automatic, but she misses them more often than not. I did not expect the baseline jumpers inside the arc to be as bad as they are, and in that case I could see attributing that to her height, but I just don't get what is happening on the layups at all, since, as I mentioned, she's usually beaten the defender when she gets those.

I know the feeling, despite being a little taller.
