Message: [QUOTE="Gurleyman, post: 5144751, member: 175"] The 10 second violation was a symptom. He was tentative and afraid to bring the ball up the floor. Even if he got it over, we wouldn’t have gotten into our offense until 15 seconds on the shot clock. We like to run stuff and put pressure on the defense but we have to get into our sets first. Same way if you run stuff and a shooter breaks open and doesn’t shoot, you might have just wasted all that effort. Being tentative hurts our offense. AK was guilty of that too late, albeit on a cold night. Got the ball in the middle of the zone and did nothing, then swung the ball when he was wide open to a covered Diarra. We can figure out something with AM off the ball thinking like a scorer and being a secondary passer. But he’s just not making quick or smart decisions with the ball in his hands yet. Need to simplify things, then maybe expand the role later. [/QUOTE]
