I disagree. I think Judah was the worst. He just could never stay in front of his man.
It’s been a problem all year. His gambler mentality is just odd.

He was bad too. It was a complete breakdown. I like what Red has done this year and I get Taylor has lost his shot, but I would’ve played him more for defense because he’s guaranteed to try on that end compared to the rest of the guys.I disagree.

I just got through saying that to a Syracuse insider.He was bad too. It was a complete breakdown. I like what Red has done this year and I get Taylor has lost his shot, but I would’ve played him more for defense because he’s guaranteed to try on that end compared to the rest of the guys.

Looking at the play by play.
We went + 2 without Bell in the 1st half
We went -4 without Bell in the 2nd half
We won by 3 and he played 38 mins. I’m not seeing how they got +9 at all. Not doubting you saw it somewhere
What adjustment were you looking for exactly? Should he have put Carey in to shut that down or pull Benny back off the street? Ahh Hima was the answer! It’s just so obvious.AA is super slow to make obvious adjustments. Playing M2M, Brown’s man repeatedly goes to the left corner & just stands there. Brown is out of position to rebound, block shots, steal or block out. Bell’s man goes to the top of the key & ND repeatedly drives to the hoop for layups. Bell can’t stop anyone & can’t rebound. Over & over & over. AA doesn’t adjust & lets Bell get beat like a dead horse.
What was he second half?People see and hear what they believe they will see and hear.
Hah. You sound like Kenny Powers.If someone’s “All American” sport wasn’t BB then it doesn’t mean they know more about BB than those of us whose sport WAS BB
team needs blowouts if they wanna improve their metricsWe can whine. Or we can go to the hospital to have our hearts looked at. I know I have to.
But a win is a win and it is win number 18. I hope our guys learned a little something today.
It has to do with foot on the...
You’re right, it’s simply impossible for a team to shutdown the high ball screen.What adjustment were you looking for exactly? Should he have put Carey in to shut that down or pull Benny back off the street? Ahh Hima was the answer! It’s just so obvious.
I have a couple really minor issues, but I am in full support of him in general.What does everyone think Red should have done differently in the second half? Please provide your thoughts.
Well said.I have a couple really minor issues, but I am in full support of him in general.
I thought we needed Q in the game sooner in the second half. Like, 2 possessions in. We needed to score to stem the tide.
And I didn’t like the play design on the possession after the shot clock mistakenly was reset. :05 on the clock and run a play to inbound the ball to Maliq 30 feet from the basket?
I go back and forth on the “foul up 3 choice”. This team is so brain dead we’d end up giving up a 4 point play. But I certainly support in general, the foul up three crowd.
If you had told me Oct 1 that Westry and McLeod would suffer season ending injuries and Benny would get tossed in February and we’d be 18-10….I’d have signed on the dotted line immediately.
I know the losses have been bad, and this team plays in wicked streaks, but Red has done a great job in my opinion. I really didn’t think 20 wins was in play this season.
Being at games and watching him on the sideline interacting with players has been impressive. No obvious late game mistakes that have cost us. Showing us a decent m2m defense and the flexibility to switch defenses has been refreshing.
There’s nothing that I’ve seen at this point that screams “red flag”. Next year I will have greater expectations, and I think his boss will too.
I do not think “we” went iso ball, I’m pretty sure “Judah” went iso ball.Judah needs to see it. He just can’t seem to let go of it and it bleeds over to JJ too
What I want to see is if we lose kids we don't want to lose in the portal. That is key to me. If we lose up to 3 players to the portal, guys we don't want to lose, that won't reflect well on Red. My back ground is the brokerage business. Whenever a broker left a firm, and we are talking big money, life changing money, we always said that it was really because they hated the manager. This off season, both who we get and who if anyone, we lose, will be very telling.I have a couple really minor issues, but I am in full support of him in general.

I agree but would clarify the "we" in "we don't want to lose" needs to be the coaches, not us.What I want to see is if we lose kids we don't want to lose in the portal. That is key to me.

That goes without saying and that was what I was trying to say. I don't care what the fan base thinks.I agree but would clarify the "we" in "we don't want to lose" needs to be the coaches, not us.
For example (not saying this is true), if the coaches really want Judah back, losing him would be a negative, even if the fans here might not want him back.
Sorry, I know you got it. I was more referring to the opposite and the reaction by some on here. If someone leaves that maybe the coaches DON'T want, you'll still see hair on fire posts here.That goes without saying and that was what I was trying to say. I don't care what the fan base thinks.

Good thing it was a college game.We gave up almost 60 in the second half in 20
minutes. That translates to 80 plus in an NBA game with a 24 second clock. Everyone got destroyed. We couldn’t locate the coaches son at all. JJ and Bell were the worst two, but they had help.
Well, at least he didn't say it was 120 in a full game like last Tuesday.Good thing it was a college game.
It’s imperative that we keep JJ, Q, Bell, Brown IMO. You make a good point it reflects on red, the coaching staff, but it may also reflect on where we are as a program and how we’re doing with the NIL.
