should have won 4-5 additional games where we had late game leads and then couldn't score and couldn't stop the other team. Unfortunately, flaws seem to show up under pressure and it's no different with this year's team. This team has a BB prodigy that for some reason is not aggressive on offense and is not great on defense. He's slow to help from the weak side and results in easy baskets; and plays tall on defense which allows shorter quicker players to get by him. On offense while he probes the defense everyone else is mostly standing around (excluding one possible screener). He very seldom attacks the basket and most of his shots are falling away which personally I feel effects his accuracy. We have a freak athlete who is fun to watch when he's in the air but is prone to gaff's on both sides of the ball. He's often the first to leave his feet which results in him unnecessarily fouling his man or allowing an uncontested shot. Last night he seldom hedged on the guard coming off the screen which resulted in a career night for that player. One of the exceptions was at the end when he committed his final foul. On offense the same flaw often results in his shot getting blocked around the rim. We have our forwards/post who want to shoot threes at the seemingly worst times in the game when their % is abysmal. We have one of our best shooters come in and nails two threes in a row and then can't find him anymore for long periods of time. We go to our bench to save our starters but instead of helping costs us 2-3 possessions a game. Coaches need 3-4 losses before the team has a decent inbounds strategy. Players still don't know the cost of fouling a 3 point shooter. Many on this board rationalize that this team is basically young that it needs time to grow. Most of this team will be gone next year. And if our budget is as bad as everyone says, we will be back here again with a similar young team. We have to figure out how to emphasize BB IQ and cut out the stupid, game costing mistakes we are now making. Both the coaches and the players need to play to their individual and team strengths and they should all know what they are by now. Granted you can't teach athleticism, but you can teach against the repetitive, stupid mistakes we now make.
