Message: [QUOTE="Coach Orange, post: 2029785, member: 2260"] I'll add to this list that our cutters rarely read the screen properly anyway, so they become worthless. Gillon ran off a down screen in the second half against VT. His defender cheated up the lane to get around the screen. Instead of bumping to the corner--the proper read--Gillon cut straight to the wing area above the free-throw line. Though he caught the pass, his defender was in great position to defend him. This suggests: [LIST] [*]a lack of communication between cutter and screener [*]that Gillon was unaware of his defender's actions [*]that Gillon didn't know what the proper read should be [*]some combination of these [/LIST] Regardless of the cause, the end result is a missed scoring chance. At least the players are consistent; they also rarely set and use ball screens well. [/QUOTE]
