    No, that's actually kind of it.

    Exactly. There is not an offense in the world that will work if you can't make shots. Dribble drive with nobody to kick the ball out to that can make shots doesn't work either.

    Questions:
    1. When a slump is no longer a slump and becomes a trend/reality.

    2. A. Why the worst 3pt. shooting player keeps shooting the 3 like he is the best shooter. B. Is the coach giving the green light for that or is it the player's overriding the coach's decision? C. If the coach is allowing it, Why? Someone please make some sense of all this.

    It's the defense, just ask Steele.

    this is true, but it's not totally true that we have no one that can hit shots. we do not maximize paul like we should. now that may just be part of his makeup to not want to be "the guy", but it needs to be pushed in that direction

    To his credit , Steele did sit Goodin for the final 16 or so minutes of the game. Does improvement need to come both coaches and players, absolutely, but it is hard to win when you can shoot. Lane gets clogged, only openings seem to be jumpers which plays into our opponents hands. I know it sounds easy but until the shooting improves we will probably see more of the same.

    He did say that on the coaches show last night. It was one weird show. He started off by stating that our bench wasn't cheering enough or not engaged in the game, so I guess it is Schrand's fault!

    Oh, we've got two. They just aren't the ones getting most of the shots.

    3pt shooting %

    Scruggs 37.7%
    Kyky almost 36.4 %


    Scruggs is 6-8 in the last 4 games- Doesn't that sound like someone who ought to working on getting more open looks for. How many looks did he get last game... 1... and he made it. He was open several but teammates were not paying attention. He has to be option # 1 and Tandy number 2... but that is not what Steele is saying.

    Nope. His philosophy is, "If a player has a good look, take the shot." The problem with that philosophy (and we saw it play out horribly during the Creighton game) is that bad 3 point shooters will typically have more wide open shots because the opponent knows they can’t shoot them that well... and they would love to see those poor shooters shoot it more often and miss.

    If you look at the better BE teams ( Nova, Creighton, Butler, Seton Hall, Marquette) the 2 or 3 players who shoot most of their threes are very good 3 point shooters. Those coach’s would never green light Naji and Q to be shooting close to or more 3s than Scruggs.

    That's something you simply don't air out in a coaches show. And I agree, he's almost to forthcoming to the point where nothing is sacred among team.

    And lets remember this is HIS team. If they aren't pulling for each other and excited, why the hell not? Something seems off.
