That one man was more than happy to play "team ball". In fact, he was killed constantly on this board for not "taking over games." The problem is that you have a coach who doesn't under how to teach "team ball". 5 individuals moving wherever they want on the court with no rhyme or reason is not team ball. JJ's offense amounted to nothing more than "whoever has the ball try to do something with it". Rarely did anyone move away from the ball. Rarely did anyone set screens away from the ball. On defense it was an unmitigated disaster with game plan of "try to get steals so we can get out and run." Keeping people in front of them and contesting shots were secondary in JJ's "defense". To his credit though, LSU implemented the "plan" to perfection. They led the SEC in steals while simultaneously being one of the least efficient defenses in the conference.
