Okay then what specifically do you not like about what LSU is trying to do on offense and defense. I'm okay with you saying he isn't good but I want to know why.
Well I haven't coached but I've played college ball...I can run it down for you....
Offense:
They Don't screen away from the ball...period. Their offense is the "weave" or "on ball screens" which are both very easy to defend. The motion offense with freelance screening away from the ball is the best way to get easy layups and it forces the defense to work for 30 seconds hence it wears them down.
They have ZERO secondary break...which is an easy way to get some movement and a few easy baskets during a game.
Zone offense: We stand around and flash the high post. This is so Dale Brown. The zone defense should be attacked by dribble penetration to make two people guard the dribbler...then either kick out, pass to the short corner, or screen in the zone for a three. And when the shot goes up hammer the glass because it's easier to get offensive rebounds against the zone.
Defense:
With the exception of gray (I hate to say it), Patterson, and Hornsby nobody plays defense with their feet. Everyone reaching in, trying to back tip once they're beat...etc.
When the defender is beat (and it does happen) NOBODY slides over to stop the ball...Hornsby tried on a couple of occasions last night and was called for the block...BUT AT LEAST HE GAVE AN EFFORT. I hate to say it but Simmons is HORRIBLE at helping out. Stepping in front of dribble penetration and taking charges is not only advantageous because it's a turnover it also deters future penetration by sending a message that there will be collisions when the the ball handler penetrates out of control.
When someone actually does rotate down and stop the dribble penetration NOBODY else rotates to the open shooter when it's kicked out....thus open 3 pointers.
Rebounding:
Do I even need to say it? WE DO NOT BLOCK OUT. It's the easiest thing to coach and for the life of me do not understand why the frick we can't coach it. Stick those skinny arse butt bones in the ball sack of another player and he'll think twice about hitting the offensive glass next time....plus we might actually get the rebound.
