As the coach, what would you do differently?

[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1267584, member: 527609"] I dunno about changing the system, it's a bit too late for anything wholesale, but the thing I would really be focused on in practice is closeouts. Recognition and technique. We are inexplicably bad at that, prior Groce teams have been very good, and that's the basis of everything we want to do on defense. I don't know how much strength and conditioning stuff goes on during the Big Ten grind, but some focus on flexibility work would also help that. Offensively I feel like we ought to dabble with lineups where all five guys can shoot, which would probably involve Hill at the 4. Maybe Lucas/JCL/Jordan/Hill/Finke? We're not an instinctive team off the ball, but if the defense has to guard all five guys out to 3, at least then what ball movement we have will put some strain on the defense. [/QUOTE]
