As a fan, one of the things that i enjoy in college basketball is when a coach makes a successful adjustment.

Many have said how difficult it is to watch our frustrating O. It is equally difficult to watch our never changing D.

We see the same old o game in and game out. I understand with no PG and no C that our options are limited, but still, there is a lack of ball movement. We never seem to at the very least rotate our high post players (maybe between Marek, Ty, and Oshae) to at least give the opposing D something to think about. Yesterday, Elijah was off, did we see any plays run to try and get him going ? Instead the answer was just to bench him after two misses. Maybe he could have gone to the high post for an easy 16 foot j off of an entry pass or else maybe a drive to try and get to the line.

On D, what is an adjustment ? For example, yesterday when Reed and Thomas got hot, why not immediate double teams whenever either one got the ball ? Make somebody else beat us other than the hot hand. We always seem to let the hot hand stay hot.

Our O is reduced to hoping the same old shots suddenly go in. our d is reduced to hoping their same old shots suddenly stop going in.

jimmy is a good, maybe even a great coach, in terms of laying down basic concepts, but man, when the plan stops working so does he.
