Here’s another expression: “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”

The game plan and recruiting are on JB, no question. Desire is on the players, though. There’s only so much the coaching staff can do to make Edwards stronger and tougher. And they have developed him into an effective big who will play professionally. At some point, Edwards needs to be held accountable when he has games like yesterday.

Same goes for rebounding. The effort just isn’t there with some of the players. JB is pointing this out to anyone who will listen. There was a moment during the game when the ball was just sitting there in the paint and no one went for it. JB can’t do anything about that. When someone like Girard gets 7 boards, it’s not because he’s more fundamentally sound than Bell. It’s desire.

JB can’t do anything about missed layups either. Not in the middle of a game at least. I’ll bet Hima will be a more effective finisher by next season, though.

It’s not 100% on JB, nor is it 0% on JB.
