[QUOTE="LarryGotFouled, post: 1509309, member: 229656"] I agree with most of this. Some posters get fired up about criticism of players, but in reality it is criticism of BU's personnel and playing time decisions. I don't know what Gentry's 'higher end analytics' are telling him, but he needs to get a new computer if this is the output. I thought BU's comments on Pickett were eye-opening. He specifically mentioned that he 'cuts hard and with a purpose'. Despite BU's offense supposedly thriving on cuts and passing lanes, our guys just go through the motions through the lane. (BTW, DMW is about the worst offender there. He jogs through the lane and *never*, I mean *never* even pretends that he wants the ball.) For the life of me, I cannot figure out why BU doesn't just plant guys on the bench every time he sees it. They would get the message and it would lead to at least a little more flow and opportunity in the offense. 75-80% of the movement is wasted (and that includes the much-beloved 'weave.') [/QUOTE]
