Beat ourselves

[JTSHU]

I like how after a loss everybody is now eager to change the lineup. But when I posted that thread a week ago nobody thought it was a good idea. Maybe we beat UCONN if we changed it up.

Oh no. Weve been saying this for several games now

If you change our lineup. It may get better or it may get worse.
I'm happy with our line up and record ...at this time why change, leave well enough alone.

Nobody is changing much. Its trying to get off to a better start.

We also let them shoot 22/32 from 2. Crazy.

Crazy numbers... maybe they were told, don't get beat by the three.

Trust your eyes. This team is at its best when it plays fast. How about mixing in the press earlier. Not exactly a genius idea, but I don't really think we're reinventing the wheel here. Does anyone believe we are at our best other than when pressing?

The problem with that even though it sounds like a very good idea is that Clark would 100% pick up two fouls in the first half. As would whomever is playing the back of the press at the 5 spot.

Clark has to stop playing in your face defense in the first 20 minutes. STOP bodying up on your man. He does us no good on the bench for prolong periods in the first stanza.

Thats the problem. Opens us up to early fouls and we foul.enough

We don't have to press from the tip. Clark isn't playing all 20 minutes in the first half.....let's press when he's on the bench and let's tell the guy at the back end of the press don't overly contest in the first half. In the long run Clark needs to be smarter. If we can't play our best style because of 1 player, that will end up being a problem against the better teams.

Sha may need to consider how he handles Clark when he's in foul trouble. The old school approach is you manage the fouls by sitting the player and then try to bring him back for "more crucial" minutes instead of viewing every minute of the game as pivotal to the outcome.

New age mentality - I think Nate Oats may do this, not totally sure - is you play the player as you normally would through the foul trouble and don't reduce the minutes he's on the court and guarantee you lose his minutes against the fact he may not pick up the additional.

Yeah after that bad stretch in the first half when he was out. I'm hopeful Parker getting better will be able to hold down the fort.
