Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2121456, member: 489"] Recruit smarter and better players what can I tell you. You guys really think they aren't spending time in how to defend the pick and roll? Are you nuts or what. Funny thing is most of these guys, if they had any brains at all would get better just by practicing every day and playing in games while making the mistakes. Good, smart players don't make the same mistakes. I feel for them all if they had crappy coaching growing up but c'mon if you're any good you get better. By the way Nolan and Daniels were good defenders they were instictively smarter it was evident. Giffey was a very very god defender and smart, do they get credit for that or was it that he had good coaching prior? LOL Durham needs time, Enoch was still questionable after 2 years. Both AB and Facey never really got it and that's because they just don't know the game. Not sure what people don't get about that - can NOT teach someone who doesn't understand the small details of the game,, just can't. By no means am I saying the staff has to own up and get better. But to throw Facey, Brimah and maybe Steve at them is not fair. Guys just were lost and anyone who played the game know you get taught something a couple times you figure it out eventually. And none of us play basketball as much as them so in this case shame on the players. [/QUOTE]
