Question

[Dawgcap]

After tonight, my thoughts are we are star heavy on the perimeter. Though they didn’t perform tonight I think we have to work inside back to out.
I think the problem Howland has is who and how many can you sit with lack of effort? Calipari has that luxury which I don’t think we have. My issues are we don’t post up and we run a weave at the top of the circle, a zone every so often and damn let’s press more. Aggressive guards and a steal translates to agrressive guards on O later. We are talented but not deep but we need players to become a team.
That being said our effort on D was great tonight. We kinda folded cause we couldn’t hit anything.
Going back to the perimeter weave I think a few sets with a big posted and a pass inside will loosen the O up.

So would any of y’all press more with the lineups we play?

100% I would. It seems we are pretty good at the press when we do it. I remember we were down like 10 at with 2 min left or so @ Mizzu last year. We had to go to a press, and we were successful and tied the game up and it went to overtime.

I believe we need to apply pressure on the other team every now and again. Make them make a mistake. It seems like we only even try to press when we absolutely have to.

I really wish Howland would switch things up every now an then. Give the other teams some different looks.

That’s my biggest complaint. If we are gonna play perimeter ball, get after someone’s *** multiple times a game. Make them change their game so we speed up and quit doing the weave every possession

If I were coach for a day I’d start the 5 guys who sit on the end of the bench vs.Auburn. Howland needs to watch Hoosiers and go Norman Dale on this team.

There needs to be a name for this- similar to the Stansbury Stall that Stans employed seemingly every time we were up by at least 10 with 10min left.

The Howland Weave doesnt sound as good, but damn he sure loves to use the 17 out of it on the perimeter for at least half of our halfcourt posessions. The amount of false motion in our offense is shocking.

I'm sure the Storm Warning and Tate Clayton would really have Bruce quaking. We'd be down 12-0 before the 18 minute mark

The Howland Hokey.
