What we need is to stick a guy in left corner on defense, we seem to forget that's part of the court.

Maybe Coach sees our guys clank threes so much in practice, he honestly believes it's a near impossible shot to make. Many posters can't figure out why every team gets hot from 3 against us. Perhaps it's because when you shoot 20 foot jumpers a thousand times a day since you were 15, it becomes a doable task. When you focus on youtube highlight reel dunks since you were 15, then hitting a three point jumper seems difficult.
Things seem to be coming together but slower than expected, we finally wont the rebound battle against a very good rebounding team, i believe perimeter defense is next, as long as it comes together before conference play we should be fine.
branch and sanchez will not be the saviors but are needed and will help.

I agree 100%. If Obepka stayed and in the middle of our zone and didn't move I don't see anybody driving to the hoop without him not getting in their face. Branch will help Marco spot up and shot a 3 with dribble drives and kick outs. If Branch can get him going I expect to see Marco on the court more with Harrison, Branch, Sampson, and Obepka but thats just who I would end the game with if everyone was at the top of his game.
no that is not it!! we clearly are having problem with the defensive side of the balls...... we are absolutley getting killed 40 feet from the basket by olpponents we should be turning the screws to, its not very hard to see that at all!! i was embarassed the last two games watching us get torched and really having no answers at all...... bottom line is we miss dunlap ALOT!!!!
Yes said the same thing must play a better zone coverage Look at cuse That would solve the open 3s It would also stop the small talented guards from blowing past our big guards I really feel Jarmal will do wonders for us in both penetrating and dishing to the open man If we can hit an open shot will help our offense He also plays good D but Sanchez is the key to success
How many feel he will never wear a SJU uniform?
I don't have a problem with pressing full court ocassionally---or even after every made basket---but once they get the ball across and we start defending innthe half court, it doesn't make sense to defend a guy 40 feet from the basket. Let him have that shot if he wants to take it. Defend at the 3 pt circle and inside. Stop switching and having your center guarding their pg outside while your guard is trying to defend their big down low.
Also, all 5 guys should not collapse on the man driving to the basket. If CO or Jakarr are down there, let them help the guy driving inside. Everyone else should stay with their man on the perimeter, ready to defend/deny the kickout and box out if the shot goes up.
