Anyone who watches college basketball [beyond just SU and their opponents] can see the marked contrast between how poorly coached we are, and how execute on both sides of the ball -- compared to teams that are actually good.

And I'm not just talking about top 10 good.  Turn on mid-major conference games, and you'll see example after example of teams running solid offensive sets, teams that get after it defensively, and players that are in-tune with the game because they are adequately prepared and coached up.

We get blown out by double digits every time we play a team with a pulse, and look generally inept on both sides of the ball.

Duke put on a clinic against us the other day -- and it wasn't because of "more talent," it's because they are well coached, unselfish, and know how to play.  Everyone on their time passes the ball beautifully and they cut with purpose.  We stand around on the perimeter watching someone try to go 1-on-1, since our set offense doesn't generate shot opportunities.
