I don't understand how not being very good is an excuse for not having ball movement on offense. I'm not exaggerating when I say that teams in my son's 7th grade league move the ball better than this team. I don't hold it against Howard, Brissett, and Battle for taking contested threes and trying to drive through three defenders. That's all that our offense allows them to do.
Boeheim scrapped ball movement this year. He said so earlier. He wants them to just drive and get to the hoop/draw fouls. They just ISO thus low very low assists. He’s not the type to get creative and scheme it up. It’s probably the right call with this bunch. But, you have Frank who sometimes like tonight struggles to get by anybody and picks up his dribble or holds it too long so he can get doubled. He and Tyus sometimes just wait so long to start doing anything. They just pound it into the floor sizing up a defender. They wait for either a screen coming too late or even when it’s strictly ISO sans screen. Frustrating.
