Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 5224998, member: 393"] Yeah, I hear you. I'm a little reluctant to pin this unilaterally on coaching at this point. I suspect there are a few players that lack court awareness and reaction time. There are clearly lapses in concentration from others. I would guess that Red is trading offense for defense in some rotation decisions as the best chance at winning kind of thing. But... I hope we get progressively better at team defense. The former coach in me wonders why, with this kind of depth, Red is not pressing or at least trapping more in half court. We have to do more to disrupt half court sets. Otherwise, well coached teams will consistently execute their offense. The hard hedging is a precursor to doubling on ball screens. That would be a start. But, playing that way will put a lot more emphasis of help rotations. [/QUOTE]
