Always amazed at the guys on our team leaching I'm on a drive and leaving their man open. Not helping per se. just moving off their man.
I didn't say this season is unsalvagable. In fact the whole idea of this thread was trying to think of a way that we can still have a good season with what we have on the floor and our coaching staff.wacarnolds said:
We're like 1/10 of the way through the season and it's already being determined that this team, is unsalvageable.
Don't know if it's an absurd overreaction or a telling bit of honesty. Feels like an overreaction.
We return 8 of the 9 guys were currently playing next year. We have 30 games left this season to get better at whatever Kennedy is trying to do with his program. Or we can scrap it all and try to install some new junk system that no one is the least bit familiar with on the fly. Nevermind trying to get better at specific aspects of a more sustainable approach to the season, let's learn a bunch of bad habits and wear out an already thin rotation until no one has any legs by February.bobinator said:I didn't say this season is unsalvagable.

But if the solution is that we need to get better at fundamental basketball or have tighter x's and o's, I don't think that's a realistic expectation in the middle of the season. We're not going to all of a sudden become awesome at getting guys open off screens or have our post guys get some iso moves over the holidays or anything.
I think it's pointless for Savannah State, not for everyone. I think it's pointless for them because they aren't going to be more athletic than anyone that's any good, nor are they going to be as skilled as anyone that's any good, so all their style winds up doing against any opponent worth anything is giving the other team more possessions and more opportunities to score.expresswrittenconsent said:
Weren't you saying during the SavSt game that their pace/style was idiotic and pointless? It is a quick 180, even if you dont believe the season is a lost cause.

I'm sorry but you sound like a guy on the football board who thinks because we won't make the playoffs we should just throw hail marys every play because it's more exciting and we can't run the ball anyway so might as well try something different.
I think it's a good idea by bobinator but also agree with the other poster that depth would likely prevent this from being a successful strategy.bobinator said:Cool, thanks for participating.Double Diamond said:
Awful idea.
