as in every good win we have had this year
1. spread the court
- to do so, you have to have players in who can do that effectively
- so, 4 guards and singler, lance and mcclure to spell him (or maybe king at times as the 4)
- drive to pass: teams have learned that we are deciding before we drive to get to the rack when we have missed a few. drive to a spot from which you are a threat for 2 or 3 passes and make the defense commit
- obviously, we have to shoot better, but more patience and better shots from better passing should help with that significantly
2. don't clog the middle
- i love the potential of zoubek, but now is not the time for potential
- if a player can't handle the ball away from the hoop, if he can't cut and pass, he is detracting from this teams best asset, maybe that will change next year, but for now, we are at our best when the lanes are open because it allows us to drive and kick
3. i am aware that 1 and 2 are the same thing, just stated slightly differently. its just that important in my opinion.
4. mix up the d
- just for fun and to mess with them, teams seem to just freak out when we play a 2-3. i think we play it well because we have smart players and 2 stud athletes in hendo and dmark who can make up for some mistakes of others in a zone.
- when a team isn't turning it over, there is no reason to think they will just start to for no reason. play smart instead of risky when risky isn't working at all
5. please win, i cant stand the wait until next october
