Message: [QUOTE="We Are Syracuse, post: 3207410, member: 2587"] HakAttack, I remember a few years ago trying to tell everyone JB should step down and people freaked out. What I feared, was this exact situation. Complete mess where JB won't step down bc he doesn't want to but he clearly is underperforming in every sense of the word... Poor coaching on both ends. Typically they have some talent that can bail them out but they have stopped getting those guys. The offensive concepts/spacing/scheme make zero sense. There’s a common theme in basketball offensively in Europe: “Need good spacing before an advantage can be made and we need an advantage to be created until we look to shoot & attack.” Spacing is poor, concepts around what we are doing in ball screens make zero sense. We don’t vary our concepts depending upon the spacing of the other four guys and the coverages that the defense are playing. We don’t run any creative P/R entries that force the guards coverage defensively to be late which allows our offensive player to go shoulder-to-shoulder off the ball screen. It’s just simple things we could do that would enable our players to get more open looks. We don’t create any in the half court. ZERO and I mean ZERO creativity off the ball screening wise... all around just very poor. As for the next coach, I have whiffed on a few guesses... Gregg Marshall, could look at a few different NBA staffs (assistants wise), but my favorite would be Randy Bennett. Will be a disciplined program both on and off court, they will execute schematically on both ends, and will get good enough players to execute what he wants to do. Currently leads nation in PPP half court... HIS TEAMS WILL EXECUTE! And he will get better players here. [/QUOTE]
