I don't know if it was by design, but that first oop in the 2nd half triggered something in Bouk. Once we ran that play and he floated to the rim as wide open as it's possible to be, the funk he'd been in until that point left the building. Bouk became Bouk again. He stopped deferring and started making plays.We ran a couple successful back door alley oop plays for Bouk last night. Wondering why we arent running more/any for Andre.
Obviously tough to do when he is in foul trouble, but lets put that aside.
The play was designed to give him confidence, and well done to coach for giving him something to get him goingI don't know if it was by design, but that first oop in the 2nd half triggered something in Bouk.

Watching the replay a couple more times you can see the defender trying to stick with him over the screen because he is a threat to shoot, so I definitely get what youre saying. But, the way it was run, there was so much congestion in the lane it was wide open in the backside so I am not sure any defender is going under all that.It's tougher to run the play for Andre since the defenders slack off him 2-3 steps. Everyone knows Jackson can't shoot so they don't press him making a backdoor screen harder to get him free.
Bouk can shoot so the defenders have to guard him 20' from the basket making the back door alley oop much easier.
That confidence is something I think we could get going in Andre as well. Not saying he needs 10 shots a game, but he needs to be a threat to score while he is out there.I don't know if it was by design, but that first oop in the 2nd half triggered something in Bouk.
