[QUOTE="Cook, post: 1576275, member: 321590"] A few things I wonder, what is our coach's response to silly turnovers, out of control drives, and bad shots? Defensive mistakes seem to get benched quickly. Poor offensive play gets to carry on. Why are our drives almost always taken too deep without drawing fouls? If you're going to go that far into the lane, then go hard at the rim for a bucket or foul (not some weird double-pumped or reach back reverse finger roll). Of course before over-driving there's also options to kick out, pull up, or a floater (and not get way underneath the basket, jump in the air toward out of bounds, and throw a bad pass back toward the top or into the corner that's usually intercepted and has been a staple of BU offense). Why can't the bench get more minutes and give some different line-up looks? Giorgi should get way more time, with some of that at the same time Kofi is on the floor. We don't have to run the same offense with every line-up. Just because we're trying to feed Kofi deep in the post doesn't mean that's exactly what we have to keep doing when Giorgi subs for him. These are all coachable/correctable, but we keep seeing the same problems over and over. [/QUOTE]
