I really wish JB would quit complaining incessantly about Benny and Bell during every post-game and actually try someone else. God knows they have been given plenty of chances. How about starting Brown and Taylor and see how they do. See if we get off to a faster start and gain some much needed momentum at the beginning of games instead of finding ourselves down big in the first 5 minutes. How about leaving players in the game for a while to let them get into a rhythm especially outside shooters who get cold sitting on the bench. How about letting players play through a mistake instead of yanking them the second they do something JB doesn’t like. JB seems to be much more lenient with Mintz than anyone else on the team and it seems to have benefitted him (in most games). I get that JB is searching for the right combo of players but at some point the musical chairs approach does more harm than good. And last but not least how about playing some man to man defense. There’s a multitude of reasons only one team in division 1 basketball plays exclusively zone and the rest play at least some if not all man. The game has evolved but JB refuses to change or adjust. He is too stubborn to acknowledge that his once feared zone is now a 3 point shooters dream. It’s no longer effective when played for 40 minutes. Teams adjust and players grow comfortable against it. Players are too good at shooting the 3 now and the 3 ball has become a huge part of the game. I can’t imagine even with JG3 man to man could be much if any worse than the zone
