I don’t think he was saying Tyus is better than frank with the ball but is playing better when he has the ball.Jimmy, come on we won for crying out loud. Be happy!
That comment in regards to Donna's question is somewhat telling. Donna: "Tyus had the ball a lot tonight"...JB's response; "if he has it in his hands, somebody else can't screw it up." Interesting. Later he goes on to say that Frank was upset which I'd be upset if I was a senior too...but JB afterwards immediately affirming that Tyus is just flat out better with the ball and makes plays. Ouch!

Question for coached in the crowd. At this level is ball handling actually worked on in practice or is that on the player individually? I have never seen a capable team with worse ball handlers.
Tyus has the makings of an NBA point guard. He has to develop his passing and the pick and roll but he is much better at the point than he was at the start of the season. I hope he gets the chance to get as much work in at the point as possible. Obviously, he is our best player but he is so much better than everyone else that he needs to have the ball in his hands as much as possible. It seems that when Tyrus is in attacking mode, Oshae and Elija also become more aggressive.
Frank has been timid ever since his injury. Instead of becoming a more aggressive penetrater he has become a rather one dimensional jump shooter. He had one drive tonight. In fairness, he is very good at protecting the ball. His lack of penetration limits his ability to be creative.
Ball handling is usually on the individual to practice during warmups and after practice. It's like any other skill in that the best practice it all the time.I would think that practice time is so limited that ball handling is worked on in the off-season and individually outside of practice.
Can’t believe how bad Oshae has been for most of this year.

Thought he was going to get going after he got in for that dunk early in the game. I was surprised he threw it down with such authority. But then turned into typical Oshae this year - some good moments outweighed by moments that make you want to pull your hair out.
