Problems with Basketball

I love basketball. But only with its played the right way. Here's my problem with this team:
1. They Dont play team defense. Give up way too many easy baskets.
2. They dont block out. Way too many offensive rebounds.
3. Turnovers. They are careless with the ball.
4. No movement without the ball. Guys stand and watch.
5. Can't shoot free throws. They are free? Who can't shoot a free throw.
Looks like they only play hard when they feel like it. They take lesser teams for granted and then lose. They will probably play great against Kentucky because its a big game. Consistency is not there. Desire is not there. Coach Jones is a great recruiter, but his guys dont always play with heart. I'm ready for baseball.

Can't argue with any of that.

This is not a "team". It's a group of basketball players that have no cohesiveness & seriously lack in fundamental basketball skills. The coach has proven he can recruit but lacks developing skills & playing schematic tactical basketball.

They have great potential. Defense is about attitude. It takes effort. Total effort. As coach Les would say, it takes a "want". Not some games, but all games.

few teams can shoot free throws. I find it weird and fascinating.
Many women's teams are better at free throws than the men's team at the same school, whether big 5 or a "AA".
no movement without the ball is just unconscionable.
Means they do not comprehend the basics.
That is on the coach, and their high school coach.
Turnovers is about not caring about others, not giving value to every possession. that goes with no team defense. team defense requires everyone be all-in. Turnovers is just an example of a few people who do not care about anyone but themselves and probably can also be attributed to not really understanding the basics of the game.
LSU is probably still in the top 64. At this point, they would be much better off being in the NIT or the CBI, so they can practice, learn and improve. They would be one game and done, in the NCAAs.

Problem = JOHNNY JONES the guy doesn't know how to coach. He is a cloan of Daddy Dale all they know is street ball. He don't known first thing about x/o 's and as long as he is our coach it doesn't matter if they bring in the no. 1 recruiting class in the country you will get the same results.
