Plain and simple, guys aren’t getting coached up on the fundamentals. How to defend ball screens, closing out, stopping penetration, help side rotations, etc.  On top of that, the effort is piss poor.  There have been countless times over the last year and two games this year where guys get torched on D with little to no effort, and Autry does nothing other than sometimes throw up his hands in exasperation. If he allows poor effort/execution to happen in games with no consequences (ie. ass, meet bench), I’ve got to believe the same thing happens in practice. Guys can play hard and intense in practice but still not get better if they aren’t being coached up and held accountable for the little things. It’s like 5 guys trying to guard their man (which they all do poorly) instead of 5 guys playing team defense. Starling and Carlos might be the worst high major defensive guard tandem in the nation. This Colgate team isn’t anywhere near as good as the teams they brought in the last 3 years. They missed so many open shots/layups too or it would have been a double digit loss. And I believe Lemoyne was missing 2 STARTERS! Autry needs to prove he can actually coach, not just recruit. Cuse basketball just continues to disappoint.
