Chief’s Briefs - Georgetown Edition

[Chief00]

Start Read and play him as many minutes as he can
Drop the damn hedge - costs the team a dozen points a game at minimum
Try to get Stewie a bit more involved in the offense
Being it looks like Ball can hit a few layups, clear some lanes for and look for him on his cuts to the hoops
TEACH BASIC DEFENSIVE SKILLS
on to the next match.........................................

Of course, I agree on the hedge. Reed can be a double/double guy in the paint but isn’t so great chasing guards near half court.
One of the reason our 3 point defense is so bad is that recovering from the hedge creates a lot of in between defenders - giving 3 point shooters ample time to take a comfortable open shot. The hedge also produces mismatches with our current personal and no help if your man drives.

I decided to see what casual fans were missing so kept my eye on high hedges. Was surprised at how poorly it worked. Drives, open 3's and offensive rebounds. It was astoundingly bad. If you high hedge need to do it like Houston or don't do it. Big, big error in coaching.

Thanks for confirming. The chain reaction it creates is a monster.
