[QUOTE="orangefog, post: 4144212, member: 293"]
I am intrigued how our supposedly "high IQ" team could look so clueless and do so many dumb things.  They have no clue what to do out there, that is on the coach.  And yet, our coach criticizes almost all of the players.  He takes zero responsibility.  I think it is dumb to consistently call for a high screen, when the only result is that player getting double teamed and then not hitting the open guy rolling to the basket.  The whole reason for calling the screen is to create a mismatch or a better opportunity for one of the two players involved in the screen.  To keep calling for it just to create a more difficult scoring opportunity is freaking stupid.  But, we do it over and over and over.  I don't see the coach talking to the player that calls for the high screen to hit the open roller.  No yelling, no coaching.  But, the player setting the pick and then rolling and getting open gets called out for not doing more.  How about if Jimmy set the pick and then popped?  Surely we trust Jimmy to make a shot.  Buddy may actually pass it to Jimmy.  Just a thought.
