I argued last year that the pace we played at was deliberate. We had a thin bench, and were frequently playing teams with more firepower. I said that naturally we would push tempo this year. I was wrong. We are still getting deep into the shot clock and playing very deliberately. When we face token pressure we are volleyballing the basketball back and forth laterally over a defender and chewing up clock. This is against weaker competition and lesser athletes. It feels like we should be trying to get teams in transition and attacking the press. The lack of a true point isn't the reason because we have four guys out there who can handle well enough in transition. Maybe coach is just working on things. Sometimes you hold the horses just to turn games into clinics to address specific areas. At some point, you just gotta let the horses run though.
