I read 990411 posts about last game and kept it in mind but came to a very different conclusion. While video is fine I always feel if you have a good seat at a game you can learn so much more.
- Really like Vital - he's our toughest player, has improved his defense a lot and can make shots.
- We got beat by a better team - but put that aside for a moment - we lost because we did not adjust to "1 " Milton going off from 3. We did not make an adjustment on him until he had 15 points - he finished with just 20. I saw Killings show KO the stat sheet and then KO made the adjustment toward the end of the first half.
- Sorry 990411 - one of our biggest defensive problems is we switch too easily. Guys don't fight through anything to stay with their guy. This creates designed mismatches that our opponents take advantage of. Facey is our only Big who can defend the perimeter. We miss the macho man on man where you follow your guy no matter where he goes. In all due respect - that's defense! Again I believe Miller's focus is wrong.
- The fact that I think every one of Brimah's 3-4 blocks went intentionally out of bounds - shows there has been no coaching up of this Big. There was not once an attempt to direct it toward mid court to start a break. I will leave it at that.
- Another thing we have seen no improvement in 4 years is that Brimah attempts to block everything - his man is wide open and there is no rotation to Brimah's man in Coach Miller's defenses. Under Calhoun that rotation was part of the defensive package. Again, Miller thinks like a guard not a Big.
- Enoch was wide open underneath and never got the ball. He needs to grab a guard and tell them to feed him the ball when he's open like that.
- I thought Facey and Jackson were the two other guys who competed besides Vital.
- I thought KO coached really hard today. Just did not have the answers and certain adjustments were not corrected soon enough. Again - his assistants need to be more on the ball.
