Or how about letting these guys know when they take terrible shots. A 2 on 1 fastbreak should not result in a 3 point shot. But I guess Johnnie and I disagree over the definition of a bad shot because we take those ALL THE TIME and it has never been corrected.

I doubt he coaches them to take bad shots. Just because they do take some 3's on a fast break doesn't make them bad shots. I just think we are dealing with players that have a low basketball IQ and don't execute. But who is he going to replace them with? TQ plays bad and you bring in JG and he plays just as bad

What about the threes taken with 22 seconds still on the shot clock and not a single pass has been made within the framework of the offense? Sort of the ol', "I'm shooting this as soon as I get a look" concept. We've done a lot of that this year.

I don't think he necessarily coaches them to do that, but he doesn't correct it either. It happens all the time.

Quarterman and Gray are really the only players that have terrible basketball IQ, though.

Simmons certainly doesn't. If you listen to Hornsby in his post-game, dude sounds like a coach. Blakeney isn't a super smart player, but I don't think he's an idiot out there. His biggest flaw might be thinking too much sometimes.

We play terrible basketball, for the most part, and that is a reflection of the coach, IMO.
