Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 2613199"] The tale of this season is the coaching staff keeps going back to stuff that doesn’t work. For example, putting Larrier on the foul line on offense - where he is a turnover machine and inefficient on his shot. Another example is Dave O’s playing time - there is no sane explanation - so I will drop it there. One thing, I noticed today is the we don’t feel any obligation to guard a guy on the 3 line until he has the ball. I believe that is dated thinking. We typically give the guy a really good look and close way too late from too far away. Rebounding - Chief is old school on rebounding. I have heard a new theory that you shouldn’t even attempt to offensive rebound - focus on spreading the court and getting back on D. While I agree floor balance is important - three guys can slow a break. You should act least send two guys to rebound. I also believe boxing out is not outdated on the defensive boards even though the one guy who does that for us - seldom sees the court. There is no case to be made for the status quo. One thing KO has done the last couple of years is do things his way including the non involvement of Jim Calhoun. Thank God this nightmare is over and change is coming - what we need to do now is focus on as smooth a transition as possible while retaining recruits and players you want to keep. One thing about basketball is that a couple of additions and subtractions can make a huge difference. Chemistry and leadership can change things too. DB will have to work that carefully. He has a lot of work ahead of him and things need to be timed perfectly as possible. [/QUOTE]
