Firstly, the fact she is leading the country in assists, I feel, changes any comparison with Pete, she makes everyone around her better... Remember Caitlin averages 20 shots a game versus Pete's 40, and with his father as coach, there wasn't any narrative beyond Pete at LSU... they never appeared in the NCAA tournament... finished 4th in the NIT once... the SEC was segregated, so the competition pool diminished... it was wonderfully engaging, but kind of a lily white one man Loyola-Marymount...
