Message: [QUOTE="Jumpy Radar, post: 3427569, member: 7877"] I like the OP's observation. After watching this year's team what I see in regards to passing is a lot of tossing the ball around the perimeter and then someone tries to go one-on-one with a dribble-drive to the basket. or just take a three-pointer. Very few screens are set unless Evelyn is in the game at garbage time. If a screen is set the ball-handler is hesitant to use it. So, what plays are they actually running? I don't see set plays where the pass is intended for a certain player to score the ball. What I see is one-on-one and 3's. I mean if you're lucky enough you might win that way. But against a quality opponent, most likely you will lose. I refuse to compare past teams with the current because each year the team is a little different. Graduating seniors and underclassmen improving or maybe hitting a wall, and incoming freshmen all factor into the identity of each year's team. However, with this year's team, I have found myself screaming at the screen during games no matter the opponent yelling, "Pass the Ball!" So many times ONO has been open in the post and she doesn't get the ball. Granted she needs to improve her shot-making, but you have to get your big involved, along with all your teammates. Now even with all this said, I still think we have a good team. We're not great. But this is one of the best coaching jobs I have seen out of Geno in awhile, and it is born out of necessity. [/QUOTE]
