- Our defensive scheme continues to make zero sense. We consistently gamble on passes we have no chance to even deflect, we help off shooters on innocent drives into our bigs, we go under screens against shooters, we get lost on flares, we don’t re-locate when we give up offensive rebounds… just an all around disaster. Could be plan, could be execution, could be (likely) both, but either way it’s pretty indicting on this staff given the personnel and budget they have.
- Uh, why we start the game off with one of our worst line-ups? Why don’t our two most important players start? Why do we not play our best line-ups for more than 10 possessions a game?
- If you had told me I’d be posting ＾after Cal left… well, I’d be pretty depressed.
- And why does Mark Coury - sorry, I mean Colin Chandler - still start and play most of the game?
- Not an original thought, but this really is just a Cal team with less talent. Can’t believe I’m still watching a non-shooting big back his man down from outside the paint while our other non-shooting big clogs the rim area and our guards stand around and watch from the perimeter.
- Don’t really know what else to say. I’m honestly shocked how bad Pope has been. We are playing an outdated style with an outdated roster. We have Nate Oats rubbing our noses in it after the game. This is literally the exact thing we were trying to avoid. It’s unbelievable.
And there’s basically no legitimate reason to hope for better in the future. Only thing I can compare it to is the feeling I had at the end of the second BCG year.. but at least then we knew he was likely to be gone soon. Just listless and hopeless right now.
