[QUOTE="KevinC, post: 1496772, member: 5621"] Ride the hot hand. We absolutely do not do that. It is a case of recognizing who is hot and getting them the ball. You don't just come down and go one on one because you feel that it is your turn to shoot. BU spent most of last year teaching that to Frazier. I understand that he feels that Feliz deserves to start but, a couple of guys are not going to get shots in any offense sometimes, and it would be better if he became a super 6th man. I have seen Griffin hit 3s and be ignored afterwards, also. We have 3 ball dominant guards playing at the same time. Play two of them and let the third come off of the bench. It gives the two on the court more touches and the one coming off the bench only having to share with one other. This does not resolve your end of the game line ups but, there are only so many shots in a game and that is the easiest way to allow all three guards to get their shots and to stay hot. We have periods where we are ignoring GB that need to be resolved, too. The toughest thing that some players have to learn, at this level is, distributing the ball and recognizing when to ensure touches for certain players. We just aren't doing that. I love every player that we have! I am just not sure of roles at this time. [/QUOTE]
