Yes, the offense also stinks but sometimes that can be dependent on other factors, like a gameplan ffs. But defense? IMO, defense is about effort and "want-to", no matter the scheme. If you give max effort, you may not always win, but you won't be a perpetual punching bag for every school w/ a pulse. And even those teams that are not on "our level", we struggle to keep up...and it's like pulling teeth to scratch out a win.
This team cannot, will not, but most importantly does not, want-to play defense. You can see it in their eyes- it's just an afterthought. I've waited for Red to throw down the gauntlet and start benching people, like the old "whole substitution" move, where you sit those playing like crap on the court, and put in walk-ons if you have to, just to make your point. I've seen no indication that Red has that kinda move in him. So the blowouts continue, the pathetic play continues, and it's rinse and repeat.
