Lmao...st johns can barely dribble so lets sit in a cyo zone

EXACTLY

Coleman keeps swinging his arms down and complaining when he gets called for the foul. How has this not been beaten into his head by now? Is there any actual coaching going on in practice?

Yup. Exact same thing as last year. Unbelievable.

Note to staff: you might want to recruit a couple of guards who can actually penetrate and create offense. Not just play catch with each other around the perimeter for 25 seconds.

That was Battle's expectation, and Gillon's, too. Guys who could get to the rim, and in Gillon's case, proven at the college level. None of these guys seem able to turn the corner on a defender when they drive into the lane.

 

[longislandcuse]

yeah, because these guys would be dynamos playing man to man.

It literally could not be worse.

True. But man to man and 2-3 zone and trunk monkey are not the only defenses that exist.

Makes me wonder how much is on the coaching.

Proven guys stinking here, guys who stunk here are doing well at other places.

Oh, I am not married to the zone.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Hire Pervis!

I think a 3-2 just to confuse folks might actually work better at this point.

like who? Who has gone on to our level and is doing well.

 

[JeremyCuse]

What in the holy hell was that

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Coleman blocked again.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Coleman can't dunk. Why was Coleman up beyond the foul line?

 

[dasher]

Okay. We are in big trouble

 

[Zelda Zonk]

That oop has been open for five minutes.

 

[OrangeDW]

BJ Johnson is playing well. Unfortunate that we couldn't keep him. I think we all thought he'd be good here by now. He's better than White, IMO.

 

[cuseguy]

Hard for me to blame recruiting. We have had better players than every team we've faced.

It's no longer a big advantage.

 

[Ghost]

Did DC just jump and never bother to shoot the ball??????

 

[AirForceOrange]

Ummm...

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Okay. We are in big trouble

This is going to be a terrible year.

 

[SaltLakeOrange]

The next time Gillon shoots a three he should be sent back to Colorado.

 

[two3zone]

BJ Johnson? Buss has been doing very well as late as well.

Don't know about KJ yet but at this point the Blue Jays are have had a consistent program and wanted to take our bum.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Down 18 to a 5-7 St. Johns team at home. This is Rock Bottom. Time for changes asap.

Blocked.
