YES!!!!  All we have run the last few years now is that damn back curl from the baseline out.  It was Cooney's play for years, and now AW is making that same cut.  He is then either taking a contested jumpshot or passing back out to a guard.  (He does not have the ball handling skills to really even put the ball on the floor if the catch and shoot isn't there.  He has his skill set of shooting, yes, and he's great at that, but he can't help us if his shot isn't open and falling).  On the reset, is where they look really lost.  Guards back it out, get it to a wing or in the post and then the balls stops, for a brief one on one, followed usually by another contested shot.  It's just so predictable and takes zero effort to stop!  They have the players to move the ball and create, but it just is not happening.

On defense, they just need to hustle.  Every rotation is either too slow, or worse, not happening at all!  For all the crap we gave Cooney regarding his offense, his hustle on defense(with a random dud mixed in though) combined with whatever long armed guard we had with him, made our defense great!
