Sit the whole team down and bark at them while showing them exactly what they are doing wrong individually and as a team and how to correct it. Often there was one X player rebounding and 4 UC players crashing the boards and at times.

Also, accept some more of the blame tonight. He acted like the only problem was the bigs... but the truth is he could have coached better at times and let's be honest... if Trevon didn't shoot at such a ridiculously high precentage- Say he shots at 50% - UC still would likely have won by more than 10 (even if the bigs played better).

Tre was incredible and that was very encouraging, but others are not stepping up at times (in addition to O'Mara and Gaston) including Gates and JP and Sumner.
Gates can't step up when he refuses to go inside the arc. He is nothing but an absolute waste of 6-9 or 6-10. There is no reason a guy his size should only be getting 1-2 boards a game. He needs to be forced inside to man up cause what he is doing now ain't cutting it
