Before the Nova game I said they would rain 3's and people told me they aren't that great at 3's. We make every team look like they have a bunch of shooters. If this gimmick doesn't work after getting more talent, can we please get a coach who understands half court sets and spacing like Nova? I'm not calling for CMA's head so don't twist my words, it's still early. But if after 3 yrs it is not effective, the only other thing to try is a young hungry coach from a top mid major that knows how to run plays and has a half court offense and a defense that will at least contest most 3's. 2021 recruiting class will make or break CMA.[/quote]
Anderson has 382 wins. His mentor who ran the same system had 508 wins and a National Championship. The system isn't a gimmick. We just need better players.[/quote]
Who else is going to shoot when Cole gets double-teamed as the only shooting threat? That's still a huge question that has no answer yet. And if you have one shooter who has an off game or doesn't live up to expectations, then what? Other teams will pack paint and dare us to shoot every game. Butler, Creighton, Marquette, Nova...if you want to be a legit top half Big East team you better have at least 3 guys who can make 3's regularly.[/quote]
Don’t you think staff knows they need another shooter?[/quote]
Yes, but it's odd to me they can't find a bunch of guys even if they have to go mid major transfer or D2 or overseas. They're all over the place. Same with bigs. The only other explanation is that they don't want to come play for much more relevance, on tv, in a nationally respected conference which makes 0 sense. Just get the sense that we can barely get 1 at a time.[/quote]
I don't mean to single him out and I get that he's the least of our problems, but it's freakin time for Greg to step up. All I hear about is how Greg's the one keeper we have, he has all the tools, he's our best player, etc etc, yet when I look at the boxscore there is nothing there. He is too tentative. I've been watching him and he is almost looking where to pass before the ball hits his hands. When he catches the ball at the top of the key and defender is giving him space, the first two options that enter his head should be going to the rack or shooting - not just whipping the ball around the key to Rutherford. We need him to start being aggressive. I know he's a solid defender and all that, but when he starts and plays 33 minutes and scores 4 points, that doesn't help us when we have other guys with offensive deficiencies playing major minutes. End rant.
