Why can’t we make some offensive adjustments?
Ideally, we would adjust to get scorers in position to score. The problem is that we need scorers.

We're set to have a phenomenal team next season, so hang in there
Again, POINT GUARD????
Depth ?? If used, I'd give you that.
Dont defend him. Any true hall of fame coach would adjust .Great post. I just made you the coach. Fix it. We have 6 healthy scholarship players and 2 players that can score. I’m sorry TT transfered, Thorpe left, HW and Sidibe got hurt and we missed out on Tucker and Green.
I played for a hall of fame coach. He would load up on side. Go unbalanced post bris and or howard. Get chewy out of the lane move him to tge high post position but DONT ROLL HIM TO THE HOLE. There are so many things we could change up.What plays should we run? Ones to get bad 3 point shooters open? Ones to get our non-scoring PFs and Cs open at the rim so they can miss a lay up? Ones to get low percentage midrange jumpers?
This isn't football. Not running set plays often is the rule in basketball, not the exception.
No.All due respect, but this hot take is downright stupid.
What, he woke up one day and decided after 1000+ wins that he can’t coach?
Look, we’re all frustrated, but how many ways can you find to write about how flawed this team happens to be? The reasons are many, and varied, and have been discussed ad nauseum on these forums.
We get it, they suck right now...especially on offense. Does that invalidate JBs overall record or suddenly make Mike Hopkins the “better” coach after 3 months into the season?
Ridiculous, overreactive takes amount to nothing more than circle-jerk biotch fests
for the negatively inclined. It’s lazy, and tired. JMHO

Still Jims biggest issue is recruiting almost exclusively for the zone. Last i heard is that they dont give you points for D.
And why isn't TT here????? Somebody calsh with him?? Let's guess who was abrasive towards him??? hmmmmmWhat does Howard or Brissett in the post do for our offense, though? Chewy doesn't roll that much. He sets the screen and waits. When the guard still doesn't beat his defender off the screen, Chewy meanders back to the lane.
PG recruiting has been an issue since the KJ miss, but the other positions were recruited well. TT would change the entire dynamic of the offense if he stayed.

I LOVE this post! Thank you.If a fan can not appreciate the effort our players put out, in spite of being outmanned. Today we took on one of the top teams in the nation with 5 1/2 players. We have one player who right now is a good scoring threat. Frank can score but he is being worn down. He has no backup now. Our freshman have some potential but this needs to be a year to gain experience, start to reload for the future and be able to punish teams the next few years. Yeah, we got kicked again while we are down. As a fan I hope others will respect and appreciate the effort on defense. Our guys need more scoring but I am far from embarrassed by the product. I have faith it will get better. With better scorers our free wheeling offensive style used to attract very talented players. Now that the sanctions are winding down I believe we will again. I will support the SU team all the way to the end. Virginia is a very good club. They have made a lot of offenses look bad over the years, not just SU.
EXACTLY ... He is simply rolling the ball out on offense and asking 3 player to score any way they can. its 3 on 5Hey guys I'm 83 and I have seen enough! I think JB needs to retire. This bunch is poor and there is no evidence that they will ever get better and play together. Not a TEAM. I have this season seen better movement and passing, a better knowledge of spacing and shot selection from my grand daughters jv team.
System has worked for a long time, college m2m defense hasn't changed in 50 years, system hasn't changed.
I think it'll be fine. We had a slow but efficient offense just last year.
Definitely need better weapons around any PG but we also need a PG that can actually beat his defender, doesn't turn it over 4-5+ times a game and doesn't have poor decision making.Better/more offensive weapons always make point guards better, just like better wide receivers in football make quarterbacks better. A lot of people here seem to be stuck in the idea that it only works the other way around.
Take away 3 or 4 fg attempts, add a couple assists, subtract a turnover or two, decrease minutes by 5-8 per game. Would that make Frank an acceptable pg? We don't need the pg to be an All-American.
We haven't been good on offense for half a decade at least.
Go unbalanced post bris and or howard
Amen. For a 70 year old Jim is starting to come across like a petulant child.The first thing I thought about that quote was when I ran a company and had 100 employees. You don't tell the owner "they can't work so I just tell them to do whatever they want"
Outside of his initial comments during the Fine situation it was probably the most irresponsible comment he's ever said in his time here.
What it might do is create a size mismatch for frank. What it might do is allow bris the option of taking a 10 to 15 foot shot vs his drives which are a work in progress or chucking up a 3. One thing that we have rarely seen from a JB team is any posting up. Very little play with backs to the basket. Jim wants dribble drive. All im saying is that by posting Frank Battle or Bris you can create a similar interior play. You are simply passing the ball inside vs dribbling to get inside.What does Howard or Brissett in the post do for our offense, though? Chewy doesn't roll that much. He sets the screen and waits. When the guard still doesn't beat his defender off the screen, Chewy meanders back to the lane.
