Jones can't coach his way out of a paper bag.

no emphasis is put on defense or FT shooting, and we can't score when we are forced to play in the half court.

Our basketball coaching staff seems to lack basketball education.

The team is young, just like the football team. Haha.

Just be patient! We'll be great next year.

They have trouble in half court offense most likely accountable to so many freshmen that play aau ball which is basically an nba all star game. It takes time for them to learn how to play real basketball. Amazingly up until tonight their defense has been fairly decent but really right now Simmons seems to be the only person willing to make the extra pass in half court offense

We run an offense that is easy to guard.
Biggest issue is Simmons plays too much on the wing which takes away his ability to score down low. He needs to be posting up and playing as our main high low player. He is more deadly as pg in transistion compared to half court offense.
Perimeter defense and the allowance of penetration is pathetic. Rebounding is about as bad as it gets. Our passing is pathetic, except for simmons and blakeney, but they are our best scorers so they need to be the ones being passed to instead of having to always make the pass.
its just too easy to game plan against us. If we dont hit 3's, anyone can beat us right now, aka Charleston.
With all that said, we will be a lot better with rebounding and leadership with hornsby and victor which will change things for us slightly. A high/low offense with victor and simmons would be work flawlessly, but i bet victor will come in and play point guard for us. (Sarcasm)

It's all JJ's fault. He can't develop a point forward.

My username makes me fricking hate basketball season.

We're very young and missing two key players. People cant understand that sometimes teams must fail to learn. These guys will be fine.

Well so far Simmons, Blakeney and Sampson have failed to play up to their hype. All three had awful games today. Simmons had 7 official turnovers but I think the number counting missed alley oop passes should have been 10 or 11. Neither Blakeney nor Sampson hit a single shot, 0-9 and 0-3.
We have no half court offense other than Simmons trying to drive from the perimeter and dunk or dish to another player. Other teams have scouted us and now clog up the middle so he can't do that. Even when he was able to do it, our guards were missing wide open jump shots.
IMO Simmons is going to have to stop playing like he was already in the NBA and post up in the paint so we can take advantage of his height. He can still use his passing skills even though he is not handling the rock. Quarterman or Gray would be the point guards who would feed him the ball.

There have been a lot of mediocre November teams in the final four and a lot of great November teams in the NIT. I'm not getting worked up about them yet.

Les Miles has lost control of the basketball team!

Let's see.... in a half court set we are terible both offensively and defensively. Our press and full court Transitions are the only bright spots at this point. Our freshman, just a few short months ago, were the most dominant players on the floor in HS. Not the case anymore. We will need to settle down and Ben play his College role and not his future NBA role. Defense can't be tought a this point. These kids know how to get into position and how to use a fundamental defensive stand. They're just not doing it. As I said in a previous post I think that the back yard ball is a result of them adjusting to the level of play. At the leaked standing around and going one on one isn't going to work anymore. IF the game slows down and they can gel, they're bad mfers. I have no doubt that the plays are in and called but executing what the coach asks is another animal. Can't play monkey ball and win. If we see a bit of organization, we'll see arse whippings. Time will tell.

Half court defense is terrible, but the main thing that is happening right now is that we cannot make 3s. A huge part of our game is being able to penetrate deep into the paint, kick it out and hit an open 3. Our good shooters are shooting open 3s, they just arent falling.
