Hodg GameDay: USF v. Charlotte, AAC Conference Semi 3pm

[Orangezoo]

Isn't that what Red wanted to do?

Yes.. without much of a plan to do so ..

 

[phil77]

Foul problems percolating for USF...

I think they will be fine. They are missing a ton of easy shots they usually make and are still winning. Those shots will fall it is the law of averages with USF.

 

[JKinUtah]

we need a shooter like #5

 

[kingtidge]

Pinion and Enis can drop the hammer from anywhere when their feet are set... Daggers.

 

[swish7]

Watch the action off the drive especially.

Will do. Right now its 2 passes and a shot and a make, so not much driving.

 

[Orangezoo]

This is what they do like I said - late first half into the second

 

[sufan59]

From the parking lot!

 

[Orangezoo]

Will do. Right now its 2 passes and a shot and a make, so not much driving.

Responding to how they are being defended. Good screening action to get shooters open plus they are closing down driving lanes and getting into transition more now as well.

They make quick adjustments out of timeouts - something else you will notice and especially as it gets late in the first half. Plus tired legs of the opponent at this pace means more open looks for their shooters. Charlotte much slower closing out and fighting through screens. Just smart basketball on both ends.

Enis is incredible

 

[phil77]

Will do. Right now its 2 passes and a shot and a make, so not much driving.

In the pace they play certain players have green lights as you can see. If they are open the shot is going up. Working the shot clock isnt what they do. If you are open it is going up regardless of one pass or two pass or 10 passes

 

[Cuse2023]

Will do. Right now its 2 passes and a shot and a make, so not much driving.

That's by design...

They want to get shots off early in the shot clock. The whole philosophy is to get as many possessions as possible.

 

[HyattsCuse]

Took a little bit for USF to wake up. I guess triple byes will do that. 1st place problems! They seem to be rolling now. Fun to watch.

BH and Enis in ‘Cuse orange would be cool.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Enis is incredible

Hopefully, he’s a package deal.

Yes, watching Hodg make in-game abacus adjustments here live... Like.

Isnt that what Red’s 4-out 1-in system was supposed to do too? Drive penetration to rim or kick out to 3-ball shooter or lob to cutter when doubled. Guess we didn’t have the dudes to run it right or coach it up.

The difference is coaching and being able to communicate the team's objective. We are doing this to get this person this shot. USF uses tons of analytics to see what defenders they should attack and which one of their players should be taking shots and where

 

[Orangezoo]

Enis with Kingz man.. lethal combo

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Imagine if Kingz had the same plays designed for him that Pinion is getting.

One of our problems all year was getting the right guys shots at the right times. Never a purpose. Thats why teams got away from us.

I think part of our coaching problem was the players often did not execute anything properly or with proper conviction/effort (and/or either weren't clear on what they were supposed to do or bought-in on it, or sometimes both)

Have them both transfer to SU. They can be the new Louie and Bouie. Call them….PEnis.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

It’s actually fun watching USF crash the glass.

^^^Modern approach

Yeah they really crash on defensive boards.

 

[Orangezoo]

Notable that USF is doing this with mediocre PG play both with Brown or the freshman Hightower.

Not great games from either PG

Yup and in this game their best player has been on the bench a ton because of 2 fouls
