Team is just undermanned right now, going to be a tough haul the rest of the way. Bad luck and poor management got us here. Injuries hurt, but shame on this staff for assembling such a small bench.
A coach used to yell at me all the time; "Don't shoot from the outside if there's no one under the basket." Good advice, maybe one the many coaches could try instilling it in this team?
One of the reasons no one is under the hoop is that our center worked hard this off season on his outside game. Great that he's working hard, but perhaps he should have been working on some barbells instead of wanting to be a shooter. Then he wouldn't be getting pushed around in the paint like a rag doll?
Trimble is the only guy that can hit a 3 the last couple games, can we find a way to get him more shots? I mean, do we have ONE play in the playbook that can free him up for a shot? ONE?
Ahmed, does he have an assist yet this year??
On to the "coaching", if we can call it that? Short bench, limited talent, you need to play zone for portions of the game so your overplayed guys have something in the tank at the end. Dumbest thing was with a couple minutes left, down 8 or so, they ran the shot clock down under ten! Hello! Offense/ defense, last minute, there's a whistle on pretty much every possession , Clark has 4 fouls, you have to put Yakwe on d, to try to save Marvin. They did the same thing last year with Mussini, who should have never been in on defense late in a game.
Don't shoot from the outside if there's no one under the basket.
How has Justin Simon made it this far without someone working on his shot/form? The Johnnies themselves have had a year and a half, Richmond, Mitch, I'm looking your way.
