Just read this on CB.
and they are not playing disciplined basketball and have schemes that are both highly predictable and ineffective. That is on the coaching staff. Both the offensive and defensive schemes are a fail this year.
Offense: Pass around the perimeter and either toss up an unassisted and contested shot or toss the entry pass to the big men for a double team and low percentage shot. Very few screens and no collective effort to create spacing for an uncontested shot. That will get you 40% from the field with 28% from 3 range while St Mary's shoots 50% on our home floor all with a plethora of open drive and 3 point shots.
Defense: Play off your man 3 feet (15 feet on the wings), keep your hands down, be really slow to switch or not switch on screens, and then let the offense quickly drive or pass for an open shot.
There were also long stretches where the player rotations left little offensive firepower in the game.
This is 90% system (coaches) and 10% players, with players simply playing like they are directed to in practice.
With Rose relying heavily on his short-leashed coaching staff, it is time for a major overall. If the current schemes continue into next year then there will be only marginal improvement with our above average talent. What a waste!
This is a horribly uninformed opinion. Does he really think our coaches are telling the players to play poorly? What a moron. When it comes to predictable offense, St Mary's is more predictable than ours. There are fewer wrinkles and on the fly adjustments by players but they make the decisions they are supposed to make in a quick and correct manner. To quote Dave, "we shoot when we should pass and pass when we should shoot." It isn't scheme. It is lack of basketball.
I also love how he comments on the "short leashed" coaching staff. Truthfully, as someone who has been in practice, Rose lets his coaches run their stuff and he provides input. For example, he was always a no zone guy but different coaches have effectively used a 2-3 and later a 1-3-1 under him. He loves innovation and team hoop. This team is driving him crazy because they have potential but their struggling to consistently execute.
People who don't go to practice shouldn't comment on the coaching, they just don't know. I forgot how much I hat CB. That place is a cesspool of uninformed computer nerds talking about stuff and people they don't know anything about.
