Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 1897097, member: 199"] Added thought - part of why I ridicule Maryland's schedule, or the way other teams run up scores against weak competition, is because they do just that - they don't use those games to expand their team's capabilities the way a good coach should. Work on your zone defense, and your half court offense, tell your low post player they can't take a shot shorter than 15' or their three point specialist that they must post up their defender and can't take another three point shot. Make players do different things, try to get a charge on defense, blanket the arc, only take open foul line jumpers - no other shot allowed. Whatever. But expand what players are capable of and give them confidence in a game to do some of the things they practice but have never had to do before. [/QUOTE]
