It's not coaching

Yes but it coaching too. The plan is designed for an inefficient high usage center. It was a nice thought but sample size is in. And then we added a big usage inefficient point guard. Nice numbers ( Newton last year at ECU, Sanogo last two years) but ultimately losing players to build around. Sanogo shot under 50 tonight that’s unacceptable for a center, I’ve been saying that for two years I didn’t even like his usage in creighton win. It’s long term fools gold. And combine that with how many turnovers we get trying to force feed him via coaching and we see what we get. Nice kid good player. Not a centerpiece. As long as he is a centerpiece instead of a piece this is us.

We need a guard who can take his guy off of the dribble consistently. I’m tired of watching Newton play like he’s running on flat tires

It's the entire package, players, coaches, H2O boy, all of it!

UConn has no guards or wings that are alpha dog scorers. They are all role players, including Hawkins. Every team UConn has lost to in the last two weeks have players that can force fouls or get easy points. There is nobody playing for UConn that can truly create their own shot. Let’s hope a couple of the recruits can take over a game.
 
We have multiple potential NBA draft picks on this team and we can’t figure it out
 
Did anyone really play well. AJ is lost. I kind of feel sorry for them right now. They seem like a group of young men that want to do well but can’t figure out how to make it happen.

Who created the offensive and defensive styles? Who puts in the lineups? At some point the defending of the ineptitude has got to stop. That’s how we get here. Four years of this. That missed layup didn’t cost us the game. How about the 10+ turnovers in the second half trying to force feed sanogo and giving up a double digit lead. Again

I’m not “defending” anyone. But that missed layup absolutely cost us the game

It's definitely part coaching. Both seton hall and St johns can't shoot. We play a 2-3 zone with DC in the middle we don't get in foul trouble and we don't lose. Seton Hall is small - now way they could handle the both of them on the Offensive end. Instead we adjust our lineup to the other team's lineup like we always do. And how Clinigan wasn't in to protect the rim at the end there is a coaching felony!!!!

Agree 100%. Not playing zone in the second half was a criminal offense.

The turnovers were from wilting under ball pressure by the guards.

It's all coaching. Hurley took the long process of building this thing and has talked nonstop about culture and toughness. It's now year 5 with nothing to show for it and we're still as fragile as it gets. Five seasons with a bunch of different players throughout and they always wilt.

Meanwhile Sean Miller comes in year one and has his team ranked #8 in the country and they look like an offensive juggernaut. Shaka Smart comes into Marquette and takes them to the tournament his first season and now they're #20 in the country in his second season. UConn has a lot more talent than either team on paper. I can name a bunch of other coaches who turned their programs around right away.

It's all about coaching or a lack of coaching.

For everyone blaming Hurley for the loss, would he have gotten credit for the win? I didn’t think so

he got plenty of credit when they were 14-0. it has to go both ways.

For all Hurley speaks about culture, he sure does have a lousy one right now. Everyone looks lost and disorganized and the effort just isn't there.
 
Coaching is part of it no doubt it’s the staffs team which is on the floor they selected them to come to Storrs.

And their leaders were all no shows 2nd half so that’s not on the coaching. On both ends Sanogo and Jackson were dreadful and I’m not sure if Hawkins was dreadful, I couldn’t find him!
