In game coaching is now terrible

[Cuse#1]

Im sorry but its time to be real & no sugarcoating, everyone is plenty aware of his accomplishments & what he's done here but we could be coming into dangerous territory & im not talking about this season cause its over. Boeheim cant do it anymore & on the other side we have become probaly one of the easiest programs to pregame for than anyone else im aware of! To add i think its more coach's fault than the players this year and thats saying something!
He refuses too
1)have more than a 7, 8 man rotation whatsoever. We've hads deep teams before, same ol crap!

2)Coming out of that zone! Not even to throw off an offense, different looks, nothing & that cost us sooo many times! First off, this prestigous program never needed a gimmick defense!!! Thats what the zone is. We have always had the athletes to play M2M so either thats he aint a great man coach or didnt want to take the time to bother!

3)Postgame nonsense. blaming & bashing his players but praising the opposition. i have an idea why but not going there right now.

4)Offensive scheme, identity. IDK what has happened over the years but just seems like a few plays and isolation & this team and iso DO NOT MIX
Im sure there's more but im done

While Jimmy deserves blame for mismanagement, saying he is the king of no adjustments is literally not even close to being the truth. His mid-game adjustments during the Big East would be a big difference maker.

Big East is a lifetime ago.

You have to have some self awareness. It’s time to hang em up

ur right but if he didnt have self awareness on this then retirement would be the least of his issues

The thing with Marek is he made people around him better because he could make winning plays. His defense on the wing would be so much better than what we have. Jessie would average several more points a game because Marek would set him up. He could also dribble.

I would love to see Marek operate with Jessie on the court. I think you're right that Jessie would probably be averaging 3 or 4 ppg higher.

My issue with the coaching staff is their lack of preparedness. A Hall of Fame coach should elevate his players and out coach other teams. He should give his team every advantage as possible. This is not the case. His philosophy late in games is to play on and not call a time out, but insists at stopping play at the end of halves. It’s never successful. He does nothing to help his team inbounding the ball from the sidelines. It’s just get open. No sets, no nothing. I haven’t seen anything since he isolated Andre Hawkins in the post from the sideline. He put three across at mid court and isolated Hawkins. Today it’s all ”just get open.” They are so slow inbounding the ball against pressure it allows teams all day to set up their pressure. If teams are doubling us on ball screens and we can’t handle it, stop doing it. Put the screens on the baseline to avoid the double teams or just dump it to Jessie if they double the curls, Our forwards handling the ball anytime is a turnover waiting to happen. How many times did Swider and Jimmy lose the dribble or just fall down? It was embarrassing. If there ever was a team that needs a motion continuity offense it’s this team. They need to rely on each other to get open and make weak side defensive players stay honest. Any of these players going iso is a disaster waiting to happen. Buddy still hasn’t realized that every time he turns his back to the basket the defense is blitzing him from the bling side. In the past few games Buddy has had some horrendous turnovers that have led to break away layups. Don’t even get me started on Buddy’s lack of effort running the floor. He just jogs or fouls. Joe just waving his hand thinking it will stop someone from shooting. How JB still uses Jessie to sprint to the corner to defend the three in the so called 1-3-1 defense or whatever you want to call it is inexcusable. All teams do is ball fake and go around Jessie, which leaves Swider and Jr. on the block. That’s a disaster. Please put Jessie in the middle of that defense and let someone else run the baseline. When the ball goes to the corner Jessie can now drops and covers the blocks.

Someone please tell our assistant coaches to teach our players to stop dribbling the ball up near their eyes. I’ve never seen a team who dribble the ball so high. Dribbling the ball through your legs is useless if you’re not going somewhere. Joe uses so much useless energy dribbling everywhere except getting by his man. Last night everyone was going East -West and it kept resulting in turnovers. God forbid if we have use a snap chest pass to a teammate. This team is so fundamentally poor in their dribbling and passing. This is on the assistant coaches.

I think you can tell I’m just a little frustrated, but this team is so poorly coached fundamentally it’s even more pronounced with their lack of athleticism. Good coaching is suppose to take advantage of your strengths and limit your exposure to your weaknesses. A classic example of this is Tony Bennet. He gives his teams every chance to be successful. I don’t see this with our current coaching staff.

There you are! The coach in you will never really go away. I just need to convince you that they are not playing a 1-3-1

BTW, you know who doesn't rotate the 5 to the corner? Hop

Maybe it’s hyperbolic to say but this year is going to potentially cost Buddy a chance in the NBA, and it was on purpose. If Buddy is playing with a really good PG, it makes him look so much better. So much of his game is being exposed by being asked to do too much and it’s effecting his shooting.

You don’t think he would be exposed in a NBA camp?Either he is good enough or he isn’t.
