re: Johnny Jones Appreciation Thread

1. no semblance of any offensive scheme. everything is 1-1 and lots of standing around. very little screening or off ball movement (back cuts, slip screens etc.)No ball movement period
2. ZERO man-man defensive fundamentals. We cannot stop the dribble drive. we have no defensive rotation(hence the wideopen shots) no help side defense.
3. No rebounding fundamentals. No blocking out, no closing out on shooters. on free throws, guys get offensive rebounds and putback& realize the offense can only put 2 guys down there(3 if shooter is included vs 4 defensive guys.

This is 3 quick fundamental things that are contributing to this 4-4 start. These are things that should be emphasized at every practice, and enforced with repetitive drill work.
must of these fundamentals don't even require skill, just effort, intensity,and desire.
I'll hang up and listen
