Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 3223388, member: 6979"] Furthermore, the point of a "system" for a bb ball team is to try to maximize the aspects of the game and capitalize on what you can gain an advantage on vs other teams... for example, a zone makes the other team shoot long shots etc... but in the case of this SU i´m not seeing that the system as it is currently in place is giving the team any adv advantage. I find it hard to argue that the "net impact" of the "system" this team is running is giving it any type of edge at all. in any way. for instance, you play the zone but the inside is being decimated by opponents with any size. opposing gaurds are also doing work. AND rebounding is a huge problem. On offense it is slightly better but still very limited and not dynamic. I mean getting 34 vs UVA is epic failure. not trying to just bash... what im saying is ----is that the system of the team needs to actually enhance winning chances...not just be the formula for the sake of having a formula. and maybe - probably- there is no formula with this roster.-...that would do any better... but in my opinion...once it is clear that this formula is not working... TRY other things... UNLESS...and this is what I think is in the coaches mind... you are secretly on a 2-3 year plan andall you care about is maybe winning a title with your son and thats the onyl reason you are even still coaching and IF that is true...then this season is not the important consideration ...it is how to get to the right point in 2 years. THEN in that case it seems more appealing to just stick to this system that will not work with these players (though i still would argue that even then it is not a good idea) For now, though, if the system cannot be changed/adjusted/abandoned...then at least try to find 1 or 2 more aspects of the game where the team can gain an advantage and pound away at those aspects of the game. not sure what they are though. maybe it is rebounding? maybe it is offensive sets? maybe it is not giving up turnovers and forcing them on opponents? IDK...a lot of the players are limited so it makes it hard to do too much as far as adjustments...but thats what im seeing...cuz the ol fashioned just fine tune the system apporach seems to be a longshot at this point...at least for this season´s final outcome [/QUOTE]
