Message: [QUOTE="jdb50, post: 2610628, member: 1530"] Wrong. None of our freshman have shown much if any improvement this year. 2 years in a row Ollie has had lineups with many freshman and newcomers and he has failed to get them to play well as a team. Last year at full strength he lost to 2 low majors at Gampel. This year we barely beat 2 low majors at Gampel in overtime. Early season letting opponent runs go on without calling timeout. His no feel for the game or his own team substitution patterns. His reliance on meaningless phrases like "we need to share the basketball better" to explain the obvious lack of a plan to deal with other teams shutting down Jalen and therefore our offense. At the half against Houston you knew they were going to make it harder for Jalen to be a factor in the second half. We had no plan for this. In addition we let Gray take the ball whenever Houston needed when denying him the ball in the first place would have been a smart move as we could not stop him. Our defenders gave him 10 feet of space when he did not have the ball. More than one color announcer this year talking about how our guards do not make good use of picks by not cutting tight to the screener so the defender can't get by the pick. Ollie did well with a team that had veterans and players who needed a few tweaks to maximize their potential in 2013 and 2014. His ability to really coach up players that need a lot of improvement and give them a system that they execute well is lacking. [/QUOTE]
