Message: [QUOTE="notthestuff, post: 2577160, member: 8549"] I really don't disagree with anything your saying. I'd just add two things. Even though they don't show in bounds plays consistently throughout the game they do actually dedicate practice time to situational in bounds plays based on clock and score. They'll take time where KO draws up plays on the fly and they go try to execute. What they don't seem to have is a catalogue of effective plays to go to in non timeout situations. This may be philosophical based on feeling you don't want your best plays scouted for when you really need them. Though that doesn't really matter much when you are never in a close game.... I also hear your point on the press and the need for better positioning and passing. One thing I think that really hurts this team is how atrocious a ball handling team they are. I've never seen a team of D1 players that, get stripped, dribble off their feet, and just flat out lose control of the ball as often as this group. You need to at least be a threat to use your dribble to keep the defense honest otherwise they can be over aggressive or sag off completely both of which make the passing lanes much tighter. This doesn't help half court offensive execution either. [/QUOTE]
