My apologies to Renardo.....

[weblow]

When we played last week I watched on M2M and made the statement that Renardo was still fat and in poor condition. After looking at M2M again tonight, I think it is the display on M2M. It seems to make all the players to appear shorter and fatter than they are.

While Sidney is not going to win any weight watcher awards, he does appear slimmer than he was last year and he has played damn hard so far this game. He still cannot go for more than 4-5 minutes without sitting but when he is in he is playing hard, diving for balls on the floor and hustling much more than I recall seeing last year.

We still have yet to run a play on offense in either game. Bryant is going to have to learn to pass the ball some instead of forcing it.

and I'm thoroughly impressed with Rodney Hood. That guy is quick.

Renardo looks improved too and I'm very impressed wtih Moultrie. Looks like we do have quite a bit of talent.</p>

and said he was standing next to Renardo and said he was "skinny". I text back laughing and he said seriously....now, skinny probably isnt the right word, but it was significant enough that my buddy noticed it.

My biggest concern is that we actually install an offense and inbound plays to score points. The past few years we have just fired up the 3 ball and really had no identity on offense. Regardless of all the talent, we are going to have offensive plays installed and utilized to beat the good teams.

Last week we shot a lot of 3's, more than I think we should with all the talent we have. This game we seem to be putting a good bit of focus on getting the ball inside and that is great.

when I thought Stansbury had one of the best inbounds playbooks in the nation. In 2004 with Roberts, everytime the ball went out of bounds under our goal, it seemed like we scored.

We don't have him anymore drawing up plays.

I know highschool ball can't be well translated into college ball, but my highschool team had 4-5 inbounds plays that were designed, and worked more often than not, to create an easy layup. And if that layup wasn't open, there were at least 2 more progressions for an open jumper or 3-ball.

I realize that an inbounds play to create a layup is infinitely more difficult in college due to post defenders who are 6'9"+, but we should at least have something designed to get someone an open jumper..... or at the very least an open man to stay in the halfcourt. If my highschool team (16-18 year olds), which blew *** btw, could learn and run good inbounds plays.... why cant an SEC bball team?

NOTHING pisses me off more than when we are inbounding the ball under our own goal and nobody is moving in coordination (as a designed play) and our only available option is someone desperately retreating to the backcourt for a contested Hail Mary.

I would really like a our practices broken down into percentages of time spent in practice.... I think it would go something like this:
15% - "warmups"... AKA....EERRbody shooting halfcourt 3's
50% - Rebounding Drills
19.83% (gonna round down to 15%) - Defense...with an emphasis on rebounding
10% - Offense (5% is spent brainwashing out any memory the players have about what an opposing zone defense looks like)
1% - Free throws
4% - story time with Stan's biblically named children
5% - Grabass... generously labeled as "Weight Training"

Stan Jones coached one year at State ... 2002.Guess they could have been using the sameOOB plays in 2004 or Roberts brought them withhim from Baylor. Don'tknowBUT can guarentee that Stan Jones wasnot drawing them up for Roberts in '04.
