I would go a step futher as we don’t have the team ”locked in” on defense.

Steals are not just about quickness.

It’s being at right place, right time and being in the headspace of ”not today, not on my watch.”

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen us press…. Player 1 and 2 all over their guy, wonderful pressure.

And then you have Solo Ball who is literally looking lost on the court, day dreaming, standing 2-4 full steps away from the player[B] he’s supposed to be guarding[/B]. Opposing Team makes a nice, easy outlet pass and onward the ball moves up the court. We jog back up court.

JC would never stand for this and I don’t care if it was Ray Allen or a walk-on on the court. He would get a quick pull out of the game. This I would point to as a coaching issue vs. player.

I’ve been saying this all season but I‘m more concerned with what our players are doing when they don’t have the Ball then anything else.

A lack of steals is just the symptom of a much larger problem.

The good news is that it’s March and it’s not too late to turn it all around!
