It’s unfathomable, how many possessions where it looks like we have zero concept on offense of how to create good shot opportunities. When I count how many times I saw ‘movement’ that wasn’t just a player running around outside the 3pt line just to receive the ball from someone else at the 3pt line who had just struggled to get inside the 3pt line, the number is None. None times. It’s as if when something that resembles a play happens, it was entirely accidental. I like Kyle, but I’m entirely sick of seeing him with the ball at the top of the arc with decision making and ball handling responsibilities.

On defense, I don’t know what happened. We had fantastic defense in early season games, against higher-ranked teams. And now the zone today… like, the first three VA possessions were layup, three, dunk.

For the first time since 1985, I no longer care if I finish watching a game or not. Never thought I’d say that.

The only thing that is heartening is seeing that we may just be in the in-between stage before becoming good again. A number of programs went from successful coaches to a lame replacement and then to a new successful coach. As I used to say back when I wanted JB to retire, it is going to be a process, and there’s no way to know whether the first step in the process will be happymaking, but we have to go through it to find out and then to advance to the next step.

It’s up to the AD to minimize the duration of pain.
