Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 2508464"] First, I have become convinced that as badly as the XL needs to be remodeled - the management must go - and the staff should reapply with others for all positions. Rather than rant on about this, simply if you have been to a game recently you know what I mean. Now to basketball - a lot of thoughts today. - Rather than shorten the rotation KO has added to it as we approach mid season. This is concerning because it’s difficult to build chemistry under these circumstances. Why Big Dave is getting minutes rather than Carlton, Whaley or Williams is beyond me. - As for Williams, other than the two missed block outs on foul shots, he played well given our team. He actually works at rebounding position and fights hard. His foul shot stroke looked good as well. - Whaley was productive on his minutes. - After last game one poster made a good point. As KO gets closer to crunch time he almost always goes 3 guards, Larrier and one Big. I really think 2 Bigs are needed for part of that time given our teams makeup and rebounding woes. - Its a real puzzle why we choose to double mediocre players to leave guys open for 3’s. Thankfully ECU missed some open looks. - While I appreciate the value of mixing up defenses - I see a lot of vulnerability out there in some of our gimmick zones. - Larrier is so much more efficient inside of 12-15 feet than at the 3 line. - I thought KO really worked hard out there today. - Throwing the ball high for Larrier on our inbounds play is not the answer. We need better screens and sharper cuts. I could go on but enough for now. [/QUOTE]
