Agreed. Outrun – Out-hustled – out-coached.It should not have been that hard.
Youth cannot be an excuse they are going to use all year long.
Their obstinacy to play the freshmen that much will soon backfire at them. The starting five is playing pick-up basketball with no discipline and absolutely no defense.
They rarely run anything on offense because they shoot the ball under 15 seconds with no rebounding.
Rotations are unimaginative, just the same regular rotations. No adjustment to what the opponent has to offer. A subs for B, C subs for D, no matter what.
3pt defense was atrocious. That’s just lack of discipline.
I think they already lost player 7 to 14 because they are given no chance to prove anything and sent back to the bench at the slightest mistake while the other ones are chucking up shots all over the place. Lots of talent on this team but they aren’t being used the right way for now. Stats mean nothing without the PER. I’d be curious to see it.
