Pope needs to insert a motion offense, too much standing around, everyone standing around and watching one person dribble, players to stay in motion.
Also do less subbing, stick with the best 6 or 7 and go with them.
2-2-1 full court press, don't give up the press on the first pass, continue to trap and stick with it....
I believe with these tweaks it can turn around....
That’s what I said a week or so ago.
Run a 2 in 3 out motion with off ball movement and a heavy diet of pick and roll with JQ and Lowe and everyone else crash the boards.
We don’t have any ball handlers other than Lowe so just catch and shoot and crash the boards. We could play 1 in 4 out if JQ is the one in.
More importantly run at every opportunity. The less times we run half court offense the better.
Wouldn’t be pretty with this bunch but it’s better than not doing anything.
Of course players need to be coached up with individual instruction. And that’s not happening either.
We should play some kind of junk defense. Box and 1, box and 2, 1-3-1, etc.
We can’t play man because no one has been taught to play man.
or just play a 1-2-2 zone and keep 2 bigs in the paint.
Maybe they could accidentally get some rebounds. I know you don’t have box out assignments in a zone. But we aren’t boxing out in a man either.
This is just a poorly coached team.
Nothing is going to change it or it would have.
