Message: [QUOTE="jibsey, post: 5221634, member: 859"] Yes but why does the defending suck? I say it’s not coaching. Karaban and McNeeley are great players but often get beat off the dribble by more athletic players, they just ain’t quick enough. Solo bites on every pump fake made which is on him. Hass defends pretty well but even he gets caught on help defense leaving wide open 3’s. So we don’t have the guard size we once had to defend or get to the rim and our forwards as good as they are in many ways just don’t have great athleticism and speed. It all adds up to spotty defense, poor first halves, inconsistent plays AND our record for the season. [/QUOTE]
