The issues should be separated.
Only some involve the coach.
 
1. Other than the backcourt...this is  a VERY inexperienced team.
 
2. We have no real point guard to create on offense.
 
3.  Our interior players are limited.
Rebounding is a huge problem.
That seems unlikely to change.
 
4. No coach can make free throws or hit open shots for his players.
We were DREADFUL the past few games...and that's being kind.
 
5. The zone defense against SJU was non-existent.
Partly at least,[B] the coach gets some blame here[/B].
We needed to adjust and get out on their shooters.  We didn't.
We started pressing too late.
But even though it was successful, if we keep missing shots the value is lost.
 
6. Why has Lydon all but disappeared from our offense?
The guy is 6-9 and can shoot the 3.
Might it be a good idea to get him some shots?
[B]This one is also on the coach.[/B]
 
7. Worst of all: [B]WHERE IS THE INTENSITY[/B]?
Only Gbinje seems to have it successfully all game.
Richardson at times.
And Cooney shows it but to little avail.
 
We were embarrassed by a school without any great talent.
But they played a team game and outplayed us in every aspect except turnovers.
They wanted this more than we did and it showed.
(And it really helps when you shoot 50% from 3).
