Agree with part of it- less 3's.   Didn't see many calls on here for him to drive more though. In fact, just the opposite, many here just wanted him to sit. For anyone who suggested he should drive more, seems like it was a good call. His minutes didn't really change either but the time between games did. Personally I think the rest between games was more beneficial for him. After the regular season, before the ACC tournament there was a 6 day rest and better yet was the rest between the ACC tournament and NCAA's of 9 days. Just my opinion, but I think he was dealing with injuries - back, leg, hip or something. He couldn't elevate and to me wasn't even walking right during the second half of the season. Again just my opinion, not proven fact.

Cooney played the same average number of minutes during the NCAA's. His lowest game minutes being 35 , highest 39 through the 5 games. In the NCAA's he took 12 more shots from within the arc than from 3 - that was a big difference. I was surprised to see he shot less this year overall than he did his junior year. So time played, didn't change but time between games did. Shots didn't really change (11.6 vs 12.6) but the ratio of 2's to 3's sure did. We also saw DC's minutes increase with Lydon on the wing in the NCAA's - bigger and better screens, better spacing with possible 3 point shooters on both wings (Lydon, Richardson) ?
