Who do you think will be the new Assistant Coach

[Coach J]

Yeah they lost some close games...but come on. At some point it's gotta be about shot making. I saw a lot of good looks that just didn't go in. That's not on the coaching.

The whole point I was making to someone else was whether it is a bad mix of personal or coaching style they rely too much on individual effort to score points, unlike for instance SMU where ball movement is a key ingredient in their good looks and resulting success. They lost 8 games where 5-8 better possessions and they would have probably won.

Rumor is Chillious. All you need to know is Oz (TOS) and @Zionn on this site are thrilled about the situation. Which means, if I read the tea leaves correctly, in their minds the position is most likely filled and they feel he will be a significant upgrade to the coaching staff. Just waiting for a formal announcement and that requires following protocols.

That could be Huge!

My point is that I don't think they are bad possessions. I think guys on this team (especially early in the season) struggled to make open shots. Ball movement, drive and dish...these aren't bad possessions if they get a good look.

Interesting that the job still hasn't be posted through Human Resources at UConn. Is this something that can get around?

The strength and conditioning job posting expires tonight. I would imagine the Assistant Coach posting will be next and will expire in a short amount of time.

Now that VJ is transferring we are really screwed. We basically lost 4 starters from a sub-500 team. Not good - I wonder if Miller being shown the door led to this and Enoch moving on????

True, yet that type of play can and should be taught early on by the staff.

 

[Coach J]

Thanks. Sounds encouraging.

They need to stop the bleeding and announce his hiring now!

I like the team, VJ and CV, but let's be real VJ was brought here to be the man - he's not and CV was a last minute offer cuz KO whiffed on the others he wanted. Forget our team and my examples look at some of the good teams still playing and you might get an idea of what I'm getting at. Forget role player - how about unselfish non-point guards who are able to facilitate ball movement? Even KU and NC has some of those guys on the floor.

Did you watch SMU in the NCAA tourney this year , especially in the 2nd half?
I picked them to get into the finals vs Kansas
Then I think about what they had done in the past against some teams and I could kick myself in the arse

You sound like one of the regular KO bashers and maybe changed your name?

Now Vance is gone and possibly CV and JD. MIKE DROP!!!!
