we have an outside chance because Duke is very young and plays poor D.  There will be a lot of NBA scouts present and the one and dones will be playing for them which means selfish AAU play.  We have been close to a lot of good teams....I see a spread beater at the least.

We are going to get killed. They are big and shoot 39% from three. If we keep it under 20 everyone should be happy. I do like the positive front some are putting up so that when we lose by 25 they can complain.

This is a big time showcase for the program to restore hope in front of marquee recruits. I expect a tightly contested game. Bagley is the biggest nerd we have to worry about, he's going to be a tough matchup for Tariq. Keeping Tariq out of foul trouble will be key. We really need Yakwe's 5 fouls and solid D back. The other nerd concerning me is Gary Trent. A decision will have to be made whether Justin guards Trent or Grayson Allen. There is nothing more that I would like then to send Saint K and the gluttonous ACC bandwagoners back down South disappointed tomorrow afternoon.

We are completely overmatched at all 5 positions no matter who is on the court for either team. When it's starters vs starters we are in big trouble on the defensive end and it will get way worse when we go to the bench.

Duval vs Ponds - Duval has 2 inches on Ponds and is quicker and more explosive. Ponds won't be able to keep him out of the lane
Allen vs Simon - Simon should be able to do a decent job on Allen but Allen has played better defenders than Simon in his career
Trent vs Ahmed - Trent will eat him alive
Bagley vs Clark - Yikes. Just give him the 2 points and jog down the other end
Carter vs Owens - See Bagley vs Clark

We can't possibly matchup with them man to man. We will have to play zone but they'll probably shoot us out of it. I hope I'm wrong but I don't see any way we're even in arms reach by the time the 2nd half starts

They've played in front of many scouts throughout this entire season.  They've played Michigan State, Texas, and Florida (all in NBA venues).  NBA scouts galore.  They have several NBA kids on their roster, and playing in front of scouts isn't anything new for 'em. 

Yeah, this game is in MSG ("Greatest Arena in the World," NYC, and all that).  But, Duke's kids have often played in front of (many) NBA scouts throughout the season.  I don't expect the game to be close per your reasoning, if it ends up being a close game.

Not to mention, they've only lost 3 games all season (two on the road....  one against a very, mediocre Boston College team and the other against an NC State team who is currently on the NCAA Tournament bubble).  Their other loss was against #2 Virginia last Saturday (at Duke) by two points.

I don't think he's some tough big, but I also don't think he's soft.  I do know one thing....  Bagley is a straight-up balla.  None of our bigs are even in the same stratosphere as him.

Yes, they are not playing well, especially on the defensive end.  Of course they are winning, they are loaded with talent but that does not mean they are playing good ball.  They lost to BC, what does that tell you?

Need to keep running

I heard Steve Lappas on Mark Packer's show, "Off Campus with Mark Packer," yesterday.  If anyone isn't aware, he's Billy Packer's son.  Lappas was a good listen on the show yesterday.  He stated something that I also noticed since Duke has become more reliant on freshman players in the past few years. 

He mentioned (paraphrased), "Duke is extremely talented, but they're also very young.  So, they have trouble consistently playing man-to-man defense, as many young kids nowadays coming into the college game."  He went on to mention about Coach K, who has recently started playing more zone, will probably imploy more zone throughout the rest of the season.

I knew he was going to miss that. Him and Clark missing are really annoying because they are good foul shooters. But yes not one guy on team I trust to make a big free throw. Would have been nice to be down 5. But kept it close for half more than you could expect or even hope.

Johnnies historically would shoot poorly but use its athleticism to score or draw fouls on offensive rebounds to win more often than not. This team has zero attention to crashing boards after misses. At least try, so many jumpers w no one under boards.

Agree, big part of that reason is that traditionally they have 5 guys camped out at the 3 point line.  We don't have nor do we use any sort of inside post up game.  Hard to get offensive rebounds when you are 20 feet from the basket.

There is clearly one player on the court better than everyone else. Hes in a white jersey

Yeah, not sure about that

Pete, you watching this second half?

Yes sir.  He's had as many brilliant plays as he's had head scratchers.

Not only does he get in the lane, but he is a magition around the basket. He has an uncanny ability to get the ball in the hoop.   Bash is a lot better then people give him credit for. Owens is developing a nice inside game. We are a lot better than our record. Hopefully kids get a nice confidence boost.

I've been very critical of the staff's in-game coaching this season but I must say they did a good job making adjustments on the fly today. The shot selection still wasn't great on a number of possessions but overall wasn't as bad as some other games this season.

Trent hit a few 3s early in the game and he was well on his way to hitting 10. The guys did a good job staying with him and running him off the 3 point line after the first few makes. He still went 5-7 but the fact he only took 7 means they made a conscious effort to make him beat us from inside the line.

Until the last few mins they did a good job forcing Duval to shoot 3s which isn't his strength at all. Really did a good job making him uncomfortable when driving to the lane which he's really good at.

Duke's adjustment that got them the lead late in the game was to double Ponds on every ball screen. It got them a couple key stops. Our staff countered by having Ponds attack before the screen was set taking the defender out of the lane and not giving them the chance to double. Ponds beat Duval off the dribble for a layup and never gave up the lead after that.

Got to give credit where it's due today. Staff had a good defensive gameplan and made good adjustments throughout the game. Hope to see that continue

I'm not.  You want to go to Europe and play, go to Europe and play.  Don't tell us you are in, have the entire year be built around you and Ponds playing 30 plus minutes a night (leading to Ellison and possibly Mussini leaving because of PT), only to leave us in the lurch.  We know this isn't  a serious knee injury; this is a kid who is being advised to not play through a minor issue because his advisors are telling him so.  If that was going to be the mindset, he should have just left last year and allowed us to bring in someone else, because it probably means at least Ellison is still here and we are playing with 8 or 9 guys regularly and have a bunch of conference wins.  You want out to to start making money - all good - we don't need you celebrating on the sidelines.

Our primary offense throughout the season has revolved around ball screens but agree they emphasized it more today as Duke has struggled to defend it.

I'm more impressed with how the team played defensively. Duke has 5 first round picks and they never really looked comfortable on offense

Post by: Wods317 on February 03, 2018, 04:23:34 PM
I’m sure this has been touched on but that pick and roll with Simon and Owens early was awesome. I think duke became aware eventually of what they were doing but that got us some easy baskets early. Good game plan and great way for shamorie to finish and be the closer we need.
Title: Re: Game 24: #4 Duke
Post by: prjohnnies on February 03, 2018, 04:25:41 PM
When Owens fumbled that easy hoop under the basket, which would have extended the lead to 3, I thought it was going to be another heartbreaker in a year of heartbreakers.

The irony is that this W probably helps recruiting and the external view of the program more than going 6-12 or 7-11 in the Big East.

I think Coach K needs to get a X and O guy to help him during the game . He even took his Coat off . His Assistant Coaches like Capel looked lost and could only look at their Game Pads . The Duke program  needs Mike Rice  to help with the Practices and in game  adjustments .. Gee , see how easy it is to turn the wheel against any Coach . Even the winningest Coach in NCAA history .   Think we can drop the Bone on Mullin for a while ? Like maybe the rest of the Season . Hope so ..

Another important thing the staff did well today was attack Duke's 2-3 so well that they never really stuck with it. We've seen this team look lost against zones earlier this season which turned momentum in important situations but today they looked well prepared to attack it and executed well. Ahmed running the baseline for an open 3 and Clark making an open 15 footer caused Duke to ditch the zone pretty quickly

Good defense isn't being taught or properly taught throughout a lot of high school teams and AAU circuit.  So, that's where Coach K is having his work cut out for him.  I've seen his team this season clamp down at times, but it's not nearly consistent enough.  It's usually when they're making a run or playing at home.

Good job by Ahmed today, as he came up big!

Agree. Great win and effort and performance by all involved today and they deserve praise but let's not make it a referendum on the season. Can easily turn around and say if we can take down the #4 team in the country da f$ck we doin losing 11 straight to mainly far inferior competition than Duke.

I think Coach K needs to get a X and O guy to help him during the game . He even took his Coat off . His Assistant Coaches like Capel looked lost and could only look at their Game Pads . The Duke program  needs Mike Rice  to help with the Practices and in game  adjustments .. Gee , see how easy it is to turn the wheel against any Coach . Even the winningest Coach in NCAA history .   Think we can drop the Bone on Mullin for a while ? Like maybe the rest of the Season . Hope so ..

Great win! Never expected that.
Because I am loyal, Ahmed now gets a free pass from me. The overall Ahmed experience should be thought of positively because of this game. Same way I think of Phil Greene because of Cuse game not the endless circle dribbling while being miscast as a point guard.
Ponds was fantastic obviously and Owens is now guy I want at the line at the end.
Funny that a Great ST john's win can still make me happy for the whole day. Really happy for the kids and Mullin. Also really happy that this win brought some sadness to some of you who were hoping that we would lose out. You know who you are.

To be honest though the staff has gotten a bad rap. The issue is more of the players' inability to execute rather than the staff not knowing what they are doing. Some players' just wont do what you want them to do no matter who the coach is. That's when they sit on the bench and get recruited over. We don't have the luxury of sitting players who refuse to rotate and box out ie Clark and Ahmed. Now this is the team the staff fielded so if they should take a hit it would be their recruiting. They can't miss with next years class.

It was an overly-exaggerated attempt to chastise fans who has critiqued Mullin, as well as an attempt to take a swipe at Coach K's ability to coach.  His record DOES speaks for itself.

Yeah; great comp.  Good value added statement.

It's not my comp the idiot poster who compared Coach K's situation to Mullin's is the one who brought it up. No one else in their right mind would ever even mention the two in the same sentence when it comes to coaching.

He used satire.  Try it sometime. You might like it.

I'm aware dummy. Still was a stupid comparison, satirical or not. If I were to compare Mullin to other coaches I'd bring up guys like Clyde Drexler, and Eddie Jordan, not one of the all time greats.

I think Coach K needs to get a X and O guy to help him during the game . He even took his Coat off . His Assistant Coaches like Capel looked lost and could only look at their Game Pads . The Duke program  needs Mike Rice  to help with the Practices and in game  adjustments .. Gee , see how easy it is to turn the wheel against any Coach . Even the winningest Coach in NCAA history .   Think we can drop the Bone on Mullin for a while ? Like maybe the rest of the Season . Hope so ..

Coach K's overall record speaks for itself.  Nice try, though. 

Just celebrate today's win, instead of interjecting weak sauce.

100% disagree.  If nitwits on this website are going to constantly harp, exclaim on bad coaching, ignore good coaching/play earlier this season, and ignore some good coaching/play during close loses, then slyfoxx has every reasonable right to interject a wise-guy post in support of the staff.  It's not 'weak sauce'.  Why should he be told what to do, and roll-over when he has an example to argue his side?

I like Ponds a lot. All I said is he is not a good outside shooter. And to move up you have to play in a tourney game. Just my rules. But today was awesome.
And I will give him a pass for his FT unclutchness sometimes. Mullin had same problem in college.
BTW the last 7 mins of the game I didn't want anyone besides him to shoot. Until Ahmed started playing out of his mind and I was ok with him too.

He knows that.  He just wanna stir the pot.

There are far worse 'stirrers' on this board than me. They just happen to be mostly silent today because of the win.
Sorry to attack you.  Please don't take it personally, even though I have admittedly, been quite obnoxious to you. So, my apologies.
From my point of view, I basically just chose your post as a proxy for all the inanity on this board.  As a fan of the program, the jokers here drives me nuts.

I am, by definition from what I have posted for - asking for a double standard. I have asked you not to shout down a poster. And I, admittedly am trying to shout down others.  It's a double standard.  I just feel like this board so completely stilted because it runs amuck with no supervision. 

The board needs just a little supervision. There are way too many people on this board that gleefully try and hurt the program or tweak others out by making garbage up.  I'm tired of it, but I like the board - so i'm starting to muck-rake. If you can't beat 'em, join em!

Again, nothing against you personally.  Yes, I was picking an argument. I just it's all one-side by clowns and jerks on this thing.

I disagree.  His post was more effective and entertaining by using the absurd example of comparing 0-for-conference Mullin vs. Coach K.  That's why it's a great choice... because it's so over the top.  Look how powerful a choice it was! We just posted twenty-five times on a completely stupid topic. I applaud Slyfoxx's post.

So happy for these kids
+1000

Must be an unbelievable experience for Ponds’ parents to witness their son willing the team to a victory. Big time games from him, Owens and Ahmed.

Great time to step up with 9 or so recruits at game. Hopefully they appreciate fact that this could be them, in a few years.

I think Coach K needs to get a X and O guy to help him during the game . He even took his Coat off . His Assistant Coaches like Capel looked lost and could only look at their Game Pads . The Duke program  needs Mike Rice  to help with the Practices and in game  adjustments .. Gee , see how easy it is to turn the wheel against any Coach . Even the winningest Coach in NCAA history .   Think we can drop the Bone on Mullin for a while ? Like maybe the rest of the Season . Hope so ..

Coach K's overall record speaks for itself.  Nice try, though. 

Just celebrate today's win, instead of interjecting weak sauce.

100% disagree.  If nitwits on this website are going to constantly harp, exclaim on bad coaching, ignore good coaching/play earlier this season, and ignore some good coaching/play during close loses, then slyfoxx has every reasonable right to interject a wise-guy post in support of the staff.  It's not 'weak sauce'.  Why should he be told what to do, and roll-over when he has an example to argue his side?

Carry on slyfoxx, carry on.


Coach K is 402-168 (.705) in conference play. Mullin is 8-39 (.170).

Yeah; great comp.  Good value added statement.

It's not my comp the idiot poster who compared Coach K's situation to Mullin's is the one who brought it up. No one else in their right mind would ever even mention the two in the same sentence when it comes to coaching.

He used satire.  Try it sometime. You might like it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satire


I'm aware dummy. Still was a stupid comparison, satirical or not. If I were to compare Mullin to other coaches I'd bring up guys like Clyde Drexler, and Eddie Jordan, not one of the all time greats.

We won!

I'm aware. I'm happy we won. I was at the game and it was a great game and great environment. I'm just pissed off that we obviously have the talent to beat the #4 team in the country, hang around with the #1 and #6 teams, and yet we roll over at home to Depaul and Georgetown because our coaching staff is clueless.

Yeah would be like your girl giving you anal, then complaining as soon as it was over that she never gave it to you before this.


His girl giving anal sounds like homosexuality.  I have no issues with homosexuals, but that didn't come out right.  LOL

Legitimate question here, would that really be gay? Friend at work brought this up the other day, his friend told him he lets his gf screw him in the ass haha. Opinions varied

IMO, it is gay or certainly presents strong, homosexual tendacies.  Yeah, it's the former.

Not sure how stupid some of you people are, but gay means being attracted to/having relations with someone of the same sex, not that there's anything wrong with that.  Fetishes done with folks of the opposite sex are not gay by definition, not matter how much they resemble what you guys do when you're having your homosexual relations.  ;)

Apparently some of us according to some of us are not allowed to enjoy the victory because we criticized the coach but since we are are die hard fans of the Johnnies we will do so anyway. You know if we can beat the number 4 team in the country with our lack of depth I guess it should not be used as an excuse like so many do on this board. Works both ways. If we can beat #4 what the hell are we doing losing by 17 at home to DePaul? Makes you wonder huh?

We actually played well. Xavier, twice and Nova ,could have won . You don’t play those teams close unless you have talent. We are not deep and have difficiencies, but also have had a lot of bad luck, As I said before we are a lot better than our record.

As miserable an unhappy bastard as I am I'm happy for them. I really am. Love Mullin, hate Mullin, who cares, they've play hard, they deserved to win a game. That it was this game and against dook all the more better. I have it DVR'ed, I'm going to watch it again tomorrow and maybe again the day after, which is probably Monday.

Coach Mullin is undefeated against Syracuse and Duke. He is the GOAT!!!

Great win, great buzz, and great to make corny jokes for first time since before Christmas.

No see I don't think that way. Giving you anal from a girl for me still means letting you go that route. Like a girl can say I #$%^-d a guy meaning she had sex. But the guy still does the actual penetration.
But if she is strapping it on and he is taking it then yes he might have some issues he might want to look at. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

You know if we can beat the number 4 team in the country with our lack of depth I guess it should not be used as an excuse like so many do on this board. Works both ways. If we can beat #4 what the hell are we doing losing by 17 at home to DePaul? Makes you wonder huh?

No some of you were still complaining about past stuff. Probably could have waited until next game no? And Dinkins was doing that silly "hide behind computer thing" that is pretty silly. Met a bunch of you guys like 10 years ago and outside of KOB and maybe Marillac you guys shouldn't be threatening anyone. And that was 10 years ago.

Man, STFU.  No one was complaining about anything.   Someone interjected what I considered some foolishness and seemed to be attempting to pick a fight.  It's now squashed, but your simple ass come on here speaking about something you have no knowledge.

Yeah you seem real happy. But I am picking a fight?

Yep!  I sure am happy.

In the immortal words of Rodney King "can't we all just get along". One thing we can all say about each other is we are all mega St. John's fans and on a day where we had a great win over Duke we should all just enjoy it. We can go after each other's throats tomorrow or better yet Monday as tomorrow is Super Bowl Sunday. Was going to root for Eagles and still might but after watching ESPN's 30 For 30 The Two Bills I have new found respect and admiration for Belichek just don't know if I can come that far that fast lol.

Who the hell threatened anyone. I'm all for enjoying the big win it was Hillary's side that brought up the prior criticism of the coach.
Guy is still mad he was last pick for kick ball. He just wants to fit in.

Back to this. Was thinking about it and reason why your posts aggravate me so much. I played sports at a pretty high level. Quitting is probably the worst thing you can do or be accused of. It is just ingrained in you early. You constantly posting that the best player in the school's history, someone that has accomplished what Mullin has done at his highest level should quit. Well as someone who grew up watching Mullin and someone who actually played sports that offends me. If you kept saying he sucked or he should be fired it would be annoying but I would have never said anything.

Honestly outside of Fordham I don't think I have had an argument with one poster since Norm was fired until now. Bringing back memories of old BEB for me. If we are not going to be successful at least it is entertaining. But pretty funny that people are arguing after our biggest win in what 8 years? When we last beat Duke.

I rarely if ever complain about referee's calls because I realize how difficult a job it is and that there are going to be tons of bad calls so I rather just live with them but many posters constantly bring up bad calls against us. I find it surprising that nobody brought up the foul call on TO for boxing out Bagley fairly late in the game. The replay from a different angle showed it was a really bad call as Tarik didn't back into him at all. Maybe ref wasn't used to seeing a Johnnie box out.

I, initially thought Owens' box out on Bagley was a bad call, but then I saw it again and felt he may locked his arms around Bagley.  It was close, though.  It was almost the perfect box out.  I'm glad it was actually called a foul before Bagley got a chance to get off a shot.  I had a feeling he might miss one going to the line.

The most egregious call was Bagley clearly snatching the ball off the rim like he was playing international ball.

Kudos to staff for getting him to play within himself. Hopefully that massive w will be aconfidence booster for both players and staff.

I'm no big Willard fan (go the Seton Hall forum, and he's not well-respected by several Pirate fans), but he has gone to two consecutive NCAA Tournaments and won a Big East Tournament.  He was probably on his way out the door until he gave two (assistant) jobs to land his current best players.

Willard also lost today to a better team and, IMO, a better coach.

Back to your point about Mullin not being afforded the same standard....  Look at his record over  three seasons.  You act like it's wrong for some posters to be dissatisfied with what has taken place this season and witnessing the team going backwards.

Every person has an opinion on the matter, and the perturbed fans also have a point.  Especially, this being the 3rd season of a staff who didn't have to concern themselves with any banishments.

Mullin is also an amateur coach.  Technically, any coach on the collegiate level is considered an "amateur" coach. 

Lavin would've never left the program at the botto, if he was retained as coach.  I also can appreciate Mullin as a player for St. John's and still have it not jade my opinion of him as a coach.  They aren't mutually exclusive.

I could care less about what Chris Mullin did in 1985.  It seems like you are still in love with the 80's,  You keep saying amateur posters what makes you an expert here.  Please list your credentials?

Fans want to see wins and improvement that is it.  Year 3 they are still 0-11 in the Big East.  With or without Lovett that is not acceptable.  It is fair for fans to want to see improvement.  There are serious questions about the X&O's and coaching staff.  This year should have been NIT with a possibility of NCAA.

Lavin was unable to recruit in his last year because he had 1 year left on his contract.  What kid would commit to a coach who has 1 year on his contract.  "Bobby" should have fired him the year prior if he was going to move on.  If Lavin was coaching we would not have had a 1-17 season in 15-16.

I think Coach K needs to get a X and O guy to help him during the game . He even took his Coat off . His Assistant Coaches like Capel looked lost and could only look at their Game Pads . The Duke program  needs Mike Rice  to help with the Practices and in game  adjustments .. Gee , see how easy it is to turn the wheel against any Coach . Even the winningest Coach in NCAA history .   Think we can drop the Bone on Mullin for a while ? Like maybe the rest of the Season . Hope so ..

Coach K's overall record speaks for itself.  Nice try, though. 

Just celebrate today's win, instead of interjecting weak sauce.

100% disagree.  If nitwits on this website are going to constantly harp, exclaim on bad coaching, ignore good coaching/play earlier this season, and ignore some good coaching/play during close loses, then slyfoxx has every reasonable right to interject a wise-guy post in support of the staff.  It's not 'weak sauce'.  Why should he be told what to do, and roll-over when he has an example to argue his side?

Carry on slyfoxx, carry on.


He can interject all day, if he like.  It still doesn't help his cause or make him sound less silly.

To be honest though the staff has gotten a bad rap. The issue is more of the players' inability to execute rather than the staff not knowing what they are doing. Some players' just wont do what you want them to do no matter who the coach is. That's when they sit on the bench and get recruited over. We don't have the luxury of sitting players who refuse to rotate and box out ie Clark and Ahmed. Now this is the team the staff fielded so if they should take a hit it would be their recruiting. They can't miss with next years class.

In year one Durand Johnson, Ron M, christina jones, and whoever played didn’t box out or play defense. That team couldn’t guard incarnate word.
Year 2 was the worst defensive team in any sport. That team gave up 90 plus points probably 7/8 times and over 100 atleast twice. Mussini completely overmatched physically, was best perimeter defender.
Year 3- over rated defense, still doesn’t box out for Long stretches. Simon and Clarke are huge improvements.
Staff gets a pass for not knowing who shooters are, not closing out on shooters, and refusing to box out. That is beyond ridiculous. Some of you deserve 0-11.

Have no idea what happens in practice. Nothing is ever fixed in a games. Closing out on a particular shooter could certainly happen during a game. I have absolutely never heard Mullin say box out during games. He says “shut the fxck up” plenty. He argues plenty.

Bad rap is ridiculous. Wojo has cupard issues and has been decent. His seat is getting warm. We have never ending 2 year plans.

In year one Durand Johnson, Ron M, christina jones, and whoever played didn’t box out or play defense. That team couldn’t guard incarnate word.

2020 Elijah Wood.... 

Matt Cohen‏
@Matt_Cohen_
Got to speak to 2020 @247recruiting #81 overall player @The301Elijah briefly about his @StJohnsBBall visit over the weekend, where he saw the upset win over Duke. Told me that St. John’s is definitely in his top five right now, and that he really enjoyed the visit.

We are recruiting Frodo?

Hear him tell them box out all the time! Our defense was very good with Lovett.

Since you don't know how are you so sure it's not being taught? Rhetorical question. I've seen enough improvement on the defensive side of the ball to know it is being taught. We beat the #1 and #4 teams in the country not because the coaching staff had an epiphany, but because Ponds found his shot. Players need to execute, if they don't, they will be recruited over. That takes time when your starting from scratch.

It's interesting you describe the team's defense in Year 3 as "over rated", opposed to improved.

That was written before the nova game. Really happy we won the last two games. Extremely excited for tomorrow.
As for our defense, it was absolutely terrible last year. This year I think we are worst in the country in 3 point defense (held nova to 24 percent). In big east we -10 rebounding margin (we out rebounded nova). In my opinion that’s an incredible improvement. Something definitely changed. I am well aware that it is a small sample. If those skills were taught properly we should have seen better results earlier.
The last 2 games 15 and 17 3 pointers attempted. Sometimes we are clOse to 30. Again small sample size. But instead of losing close games, we won both.

Again, how do you know they weren't? That is my point. You can't just say "well look at the results".  Yeah but that can be simply due to the players making better decisions and Ponds playing out of his mind the last 3 games. It's not necessarily that the staff is preaching anything different. It can take a while for players to buy into a concept, some never get it. I just don't like this narrative that the staff isn't doing this or that based on what we see on the court, with the exception of inbound plays, they are the worst.

How do you know the inbound plays are the worst.  Could just be execution issues.  ;)

I thought about that prior to posting because its true to a extent. but I look at the design of the inbound plays and they are so basic. No misdirection, hardly any screens, no staggered movement. In tight games when the defense is raised a notch they will struggle inbounding the ball.

This should be a positive day. Don’t want to bash the staff. But boxing out isn’t a concept. Identifying shooters isn’t a concept. Playing within yourself isn’t a concept
I coached a middle schools team that one day just got it. They just started doing everything right. We went from being a bad team almost winless.to almost wining a championship.

THIS POST HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH COACHING MIDDLE SCHOOL SPORTS! Division 1 big east athletes should know how shoukd never play as lost as we did. I am sure the players are making better decisions. But this should have happened quicker.

The logic of blaming the players doesn’t work in amateur sports. The coaches are less experienced than the players. We won the last two games because Shamorie Ponds started hitting shots and finishing plays. That is the difference in these games. The rest is about the same.
