What have we got to lose? Teams get the ball inside at will and ALSO get wholly uncontested looks from three. I've never seen a worse zone, plus having JJ on the top is wearing him out! put him on some pud on d and conserve his energy.

At this point, it doesn't matter. They could all lay down and the result will be the same.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 1:07 pm What have we got to lose?

You think it is bad now, it would get down right ugly in a big hurry if he went to man-to-man.LanderPoke wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 1:07 pm What have we got to lose?

That's why not trying a bunch of things is on Edwards. Not playing man defense atleast at times is a good example
Not running when the opportunity is there is another. I get wanting to slow the game down but you can't refuse easy baskets.
A whole bunch more. And everyone that goes has a hard time. I like Edwards and really like most of his staff. I just can't stand watching because I think we have a terribly coached team

I imagine all of these issues - constantly playing Zone D, no fast breaks, etc. - are a result of having only 7 or 8 players available. I imagine some (maybe not all) of it would be different if they had more than 7 guys. Not excusing it, just probably the reason behind it.

I don't accept that one either. Unlv game he tried using only 6 guys by not playing young or Porter. When you lose to unlv maybe mostly because your freshman center doesn't make any shots. Ok so Thompson struggled as a freshman vs unlv. No excuse to not use the other freshman who figure to be a huge part of your futureWestWYOPoke wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 7:08 am I imagine all of these issues - constantly playing Zone D, no fast breaks, etc. - are a result of having only 7 or 8 players available.

Baby Shyatt is not the answer. Pokes need to go out and find somebody who can actually coach. He needs to leave along with Edwards.
