NORMAN, Okla. -- This season, the University of Oklahoma women's basketball team faces its most radical personnel changes since Ashley and Courtney Paris joined the team in 2005-06.

With the graduation of two-time All-American Danielle Robinson, the Sooners must adjust to operating under its first new point guard in four seasons. Head coach Sherri Coale has tabbed freshman DaShawn Harden and sophomore Morgan Hook to share the duties running OU's motion offense.

Harden, a native of Olathe, Kan., was rated the No. 6 point guard in the ESPN Hoopgurlz Class of 2011 and averaged 16 points while leading St. Thomas Aquinas High School to a state title. Hook averaged 6.6 points in her first season with the Sooners while playing mostly as a reserve shooting guard.

Step inside Coale's office as she begins her first film study session with OU's point guards, taking the duo through the first week of practice as they learned five plays to operate with motion offense and the basics of transition defense.

As you'll see, Coale gives her point guards a lot of freedom to use their abilities, but makes the responsibility of the team's communication and emotion fall on their shoulders.
