Message: [QUOTE="Kitaman, post: 2447688, member: 67"] Reduce the 3 point shots, especially if the player(s) is missing them. Green light only Vital all others get leashes. Also start subbing when mental mistakes and lack of hustle occurs to send message, no ego is bigger than the team. Get Jalen to run this team and not wait until desperation to 'take over'. He's our best player and its okay to ride his back. End the celebratory and in-game yappin, we need to let our work speak for itself. Humility needs to be injected and awareness. Find a way to eliminate slow starts with positive adjustments. Easier said than done, but if your gameplan ain't working in the beginning change it. If you are relying on outside shooting go inside. If one player is cold find the hot one. Stop Larrier from dribbling so much, and relatedly stop the ball pounding by our guards. The top of the key seems to be our ball magnet on offense, its so strong the ball gets stuck there for 10-15 seconds. Identify each players strength (the staff already knows it) and use it continually. In college no need to have multi-dimensional skills particularly for the younger players (freshman and sophomores). For example if Larrier is a catch and shoot guy then continually put him in position to catch and shoot. If Carlton has good footwork and a baby hook then get him in position to use it. Ok its now time for me to check out of this Holiday Inn, the maid is knocking. [/QUOTE]
