I think that's why people are so against him taking 3's,when he could drive the basket.
"He's a little bit ball-dominant, he needs to have the ball in his hands, and he's not a good shooter." Ball-dominant … isn't that a nice way of calling someone a ball hog? Where is my Jay Bilas Thesaurus?

Not that the coaches are blameless but they really haven’t had much choice until this point. Our guys would take bad shots and travis would tell them they needed to take better shots (he atleast talks about it after almost every game) but none of them had a viable backup so what could he really do. This year that’s not the case, so if it continues I think the criticism is valid.
Your last point is very true. Besides bishop, q, and tyrique were actually shooting very well from the line. Even naji is at 75%.

No question Steele and staff are dialed in to the few glaring problem areas of the team and making it clear (at least to us fans) what those areas are.
What we have yet to see though, is a team actually confirming those are indeed problem areas or for that matter, a team who collectively looks dialed in to improving those problem areas. Heck, Naji was playing down some of these obvious and consistent problem areas (3s, turnovers, etc). It has been a little off putting, especially since the biggest culprits are juniors and seniors.
This is especially frustrating because We are talking about a team who could beat with anyone, if they could just take the few issues that ha e plagued them more seriously this season. Just admit it is a problem and then work like a dog on ways to fix it.

One of the assistants was interviewed after the last game, and I think he said something to the effect of, "If a player doesn't want to do it the right way, we have plenty of people on the bench who can take his minutes"
I don't think they could say that to players last year. "Naji, you're going to be losing minutes to Welage" doesn't seem to be a serious threat.
