[QUOTE="aluma, post: 1181627, member: 16838"] I agree wholeheartedly with the above statement on defense. Watch Nunn for a an entire game and you will see exactly what this poster pointed out. Here is a guy in Nunn that is arguably our best athlete and usually one of the better athletes on the floor and yet he CONSTANTLY gets best off the dribble. It looks like he sometimes just plays lackadaisical because he expects help defense to be there. How about we coach defense how to not get beat off the dribble in the first place and then you don't have to worry about 2 freshman and a non-Big Ten level point guard to adjust and switch and help when they have no clue what they are doing in the first place. I remember the day I heard Groce mention how much he pays attention to statistics and how he told the guys not to guard a specific player because statistically he is a poor shooter. During that game, the player caught fire and Abrams mentioned how the freshman got mad and yelled to stick him on defense. Tracy stepped in and said, "stick to the game plan fresh." And that my friends is a perfect example of the problems we currently face [/QUOTE]
