You're the coach

Take the 10 second violation and save the embarrassment.
 
Someone said pick and roll. When was the last time we got the ball to the roll man? If the D is m-m and the player with the ball waits for the pick to be set and the roll man gets the D on his back he is open every time. Maybe Whaley -great on rolling to get open- a couple of times doing this during the season. We need to see and use the roll man undefensable.
 
I'm getting an open look for my my 45% 3 pt shooter because I'm also a great recruiter

Whaley had 2 moving screen violations. Hopefully the can make the pick without fouling. We have had problems with the screen and pick.
 
If the opposition plays zone, flash Bouk at the foul line, have Carlton set a screen for Akok under the basket, Bouk fakes the shot and throws a lob to Akok for the dunk. If they play man to man, set up everyone at the 3 point line, set two screens off the ball on each wing for two backdoor cutters in Akok and Bouk and whoever is open gets the pass for the lay up while the other crashes the boards for a missed shot.
 
.-.
Depends on the defense, but I put CV and Akok in a pick and roll with Adams spotting up in he opposite corner and Bouk curling back up top off a Whaley pin down.
Sounds like my suggestion. I like it.
 
CV or AG to the rim for a running layup while falling out of bounds looking for a foul.

Hey I'm thinking like Coach!
 
I'm not a good Xs and Os guy but I will take this off topic kind of.
Why dont we ever do 2 for 1s in the final minute? It's one of the greatest gifts a coach can get but so seldom utilized.
Boggles the friggin mind.
 
Don't ever, ever, ever surrender the lead. That has to be job one for a team whose coach in every interview says, "Our defense is really good. We just don't have the offense yet."

And I fully expect to see Rick Astley if I click on the horizontal blue box in the OP, so no thank you.
 
I would go 4 low with the ball in Gilbert or Bouknights hands and let them have room to work. I’m pretty sure we would get a decent shot every time
 
It’s not about the last possession. It’s the 3 to 5 that preceded it. The key is floor spacing, rotational movement with screens in whatever series or patterns of movements the coach wants to free up shot options. The offense is standing around waiting for somebody else to make a play. We reduce to a CV bad 3 or a PG drive into the trees. It’s just beyond pathetic watching the same thing unfold game over game. It’s anomalous and not even in line with the statistical probability based on scoring possession conversion rates. At worst we take 3 of 7 of the games if they played like the other 38 minutes. Sorry, Hurley has to do better. A lot better.
And when that bad 3 goes up there is usually 3 other people standing outside so no one to rebound.
 
.-.
AG or CV taking an open deep 3 at the 12 second mark. Once that clock gets under 10 the quality of the shot deteriorates quickly for this team so i’m ok with open 3. We might even get a rebound on the miss. Now if we get the bucket we can win with defense, our strength and maybe we can close out the game on defense.
