Message: [QUOTE="QDOG5, post: 3844942, member: 6764"] Let's focus on some things that can change for the better. On the offensive end AJax consistently ran to the corner to start our offensive sets. He is not a 3 pt threat so teams will gladly allow a pass to him there. Dan Hurley needs to get him the ball at the top of the key early in the sets. He is clearly the best, most instinctive passer on the team. He had a sublime pass to IW that was not handled. He had at least two nice passes to TP that allowed TP to set his feet before shooting. AJax is going to make mistakes but he is also going to create offense. TP has to learn that the 3pt line pump fake, then one dribble inside the 3pt line and take a shot is the worst shot in all of basketball. Dan Hurley runs the back screen to AJax for a dunk and we never see the play again. There are so many effective counters off of that set. No more doubling down in the post off of a same side shooter. We got burned for 3's a few times doing that. Lastly, I will make the case for Josh to get 12 minutes or so a game. Today he played 6 minutes and was 2-2 for 4 points with one rebound. Against SH he had 2 rebounds in 5 minutes while IW and AS had 4 in 52 minutes. I would pair him with AJax who is an excellent(and willing) post passer. He had 6 boards in 10 minutes against Butler. Our last victory btw. [/QUOTE]
