You have no consistent outside shooters. That's the main problem imo. That and intensity and coaching.
Happened to Pitt a few years ago, led to a player quitting the team before the season ended and lots of dysfunction. Not good.
Very telling talking about if you want to be here be here if not go home, he said it twice!
I think the "shit show season" is over.
I am not sure what defensive miracles Dunn pulls off in practice, but in games I don’t see it. He can’t stop a soul from blowing right past him and driving to the rim. In fact when he was inserted into the Duke game he was directly responsible for basically giving up the working margin we had with a missed shot, a foolish turnover, and then giving up two blow buys in defense. Maybe he looks better in practice as he is covering RJ of Caleb and they are dribbling 30 feet from the basket in search of an opening to shoot a 3
Idk either but maybe the player don't know what good defense is, that would make sense!
And that is very much on Roy. Roy had been recruiting guards first and foremost to get the ball up the court fastest to get off the most shots. When that is your emphasis, you rarely get many consistently good outside shooters.
Hubert is finally learning (I hope) that there's more to coaching than just saying every player on the team is the greatest. I mean a positive attitude by coaches and praise for players is great - when it works. But sometimes you need to actually coach.
That's how it appeared but it was weird. Leaky is usually very good on breakaways. Why did he half-ass it that time? Very odd.
I really dont think he saw Applebee at all. His reaction was not of s player trying to draw a foul, it was of one thinking " Where the hell did he come from!"
yeah, that makes more sense... Appleby was the Don Beebe to Leaky's Leon Lett
Lol, yeah good visual.
only thing that went through my mind, especially at the end.
That's exactly what I saw. 0 effort or sense of urgency from the gitgo and that means the start of the game that play included.
Black is also the one who said basically that they will turn it on when the tournament starts.
Only thing this team is going to turn on when the tournament starts is the TV to watch it cause they're going nowhere at this rate.
Now do Caleb. Not wanting to pile on but he gets to the rim alot, puts up what looks like a good shot that just doesn't go in as much as it should.
lol which tournament?
