Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 5433782, member: 837"] Those guys also played in a system that was designed to produce an effective and at times devastating team defense. That is not what we have currently. I'm not sure what we have but in two years I've only seen this team play quality team defense intermittently. Even something as simple as getting back in transition is a disaster. Defending the high ball screen -- pretty much the starting point for almost every oppenent offensive approach -- has been brutal for most of the past two seasons as well (a little better in the back half of year 1). Advanced scouting has been an issue as well. Allowing that kid from UNH to drive left and finish at the rim or in the mid-range all game long in year 1 was an utter embarrassment. Kid rarely shot threes and always went left and we simply weren't ready for it. Personnel has been an issue, but don't leave out the disappointing scheme as well. [/QUOTE]
