Too much one-on-one basketball on the offensive end. I think FH needs to tell the team not to shoot until they pass it at least 3 times on the offensive end or get a post touch.
The defense was a little better than the drake game but it was still bad. Can someone get a scouting report on the opposing team so we can identify the shooters and guard them?
Doesn't FH want to play up tempo? You can't do that unless you get some steals and put some defensive pressure on the other team...
You have to force the tempo. Like I said in an earlier post..push the ball every time down the floor. Every once in a while, they will fall asleep and we get a gift. Worst case scenario, is speeds them up a little bit, gets them out of their comfort zone.
And how about some pressure on D? We just stand there, and let them do whatever they want. Why not pressure the PG so he doesn't have a clean passing lane to the post? We just let them bring it up, play soft, they throw it to the post, we are late to double, they get an open 3. Or we don't double, and a cutter comes down the lane while we watch for a layup. We have some athletes, they have to play with some passion or get the F&%# off the floor.
I love Fred, and will watch every game this year with hope. But it is time for him to lay it out for these guys, and bench anyone who doesn't do what he want done.
