    • I've commented on how ineffective our screens up top are.  A lot of our screens are for the ballhandler who either doesn't use them or goes way too wide around them accomplishing nothing.  Also our big men bail early on the screen.  Really a ballhandler screen is great for a player like Jackson who only needs a glimmer of light to nail a shot.  Our guys pretty much need to be WIDE open to hit a shot.

    I feel like we would be a lot better off setting screens for Boum and Edwards off the ball.  We would stand a good chance of breaking them wide open and it helps prevent non-ballhandlers from going stagnant.  Also, it should create open looks and mismatches for Williams all over the place.

    Next time Terry calls me up to ask me how to improve the teams performance I will tell him:
    1.  Push the ball upcourt when you can
    2.  When it's not there, run a halfcourt featuring off ball screens for the shooting guards and always watching for the pass to Williams in space which this should create.
    3.  If those haven't arrived by 10s left on shot clock, guard drives and shoots, dishes, or kicks out.
    4.  Three players crash boards on every shot.

    Waiting for that call...

    • I like all the options, only put crashing boards as top priority. We cant let a little punk be the best rebounder on the floor. That is ridiculous & the Miners should be ashamed of that stat.

    • Really it basically comes down to this.  Our players can score in transition, and on dribble-penetration and the opportunities created by it.  We absolutely cannot score when we pass around the outside and jack up a 3.

    We made a nice comeback when we started the dribble-penetration.  when we cut it to 6 (or whatever it was), we immediately went back to pass around the outside and jack up a 3.  And the deficit went back to 12+

    This is very consistent over the course of the season.  What I want to know is which is CRT telling them to do?  Because if this dumpster fire of a half-court offense is what he's telling them to run then he needs to go.

    Final note:  I bet CRT would give his left nut for either Jackson or Wallace.  Those guys can hit with a player right in their face.  Our guys can't when wide open.
