Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 2983298, member: 833"] I have been mildly disappointed by Hurley as a game coach, but I also thing there isn't much to work with on this team. I think the team is playing hard and fast. They just are what they are from a talent perspective. I have two strategy issues: 1) Gilbert and Adams try to split defenders inside the 3 point line all the time. That is a low percentage move at this level of basketball, and resulted in about 5 turnovers when they tried it yesterday. They have to be looking to pass when the double team comes. 2) It is midseason, and the team still doesn't understand Hurley's defensive rotations. I thought the officiating sucked yesterday, but UConn was still late on a lot of rotations which resulted in fouls or easy baskets. I don't think the coach should be patient about this. If he is confident in his system, then he has to start benching players that can't figure it out. [/QUOTE]
