Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 1261435, member: 214"] I agree that this has been one of JB's finest coaching jobs - even in a long career full of fine coaching jobs, this stands out - but I have to dispute your characterization of how he did it. I had anticipated the team getting better by JB coaching up the young players, but the fact is that he has largely abandoned giving them any major role in the offense and has instead leaned almost entirely on the upperclassmen. In conference play, Christmas/Cooney/Gbinije are providing about 70% of the FG attempts and nearly 80% of the scoring; the motion offense does look much more fluid, but for the most part the underclassmen are an afterthought. that said, I do expect him to try and get more out of them going forward. I doubt that their total percentage of shots attempted will increase, but I do expect them to learn to take better shots & therefore their share of total points should increase. [/QUOTE]
