[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 131197248, member: 1488840"] It's like trying to fix a schematic problem by addressing it as a personnel problem. This is what Huggins has been doing for several years now. We've tried to feed the post for years - no matter who was playing it - WIlliams, Macon, Culver, whoever. Largely under the belief that you make it more often when shooting close than when shooting it far away. But, that doesn't really apply to us anymore. Our bigs are double-teamed, sometimes tripled, because Huggins' scheme says if its not there, throw it out and do it again. As a result, our bigs are now basically just throwing the ball up at the rim with a hope and and prayer that it goes in or we get an offensive rebound and put back. While I'm at it, I would really LOVE to be the worst team in America in offensive rebounding instead of the best. Think about it... Look at our bread and butter play. One of our bigs comes out to the foul line extended to receive a dump pass from a guard. He then pivots and tries to throw it to the other big who is posted on the block for an easy basket. But teams have figured that out now. The person guarding the foul line big just sinks to cut off the entry pass. That big isn't a threat to shoot a 15 foot jumper because if he misses it he's coming out. He can't take it to the rim because he's dribbling right into a double team on the other side. So, the big passes it back to a guard who has to take a last-second shoot as the shot clock expires. Then, we come back down the court and do it all again. All the while substituting liberally anyone not named Chase Harler who gets beat defensively. (That's another thing - the substitutions aren't done to make the team better - they are done to punish the PLAYER; team be damned. That's juvenile...) That's why I think not having the same shooting guard out there the whole game (subbing in just long enough to recover) is the MAIN thing that is hurting this team the most now. He can't get into a rhythm, he can't get better on both sides of the ball, if he's constantly watching from the bench for the first screw-up.This is what happens with all of our 2's. Nobody gets better by watching - you get better by playing. This is common sense. Now back to your daily strawman and ad-hominem attacks. [/QUOTE]
