[QUOTE="skyIdub, post: 1509403, member: 230966"] I truly think BU had his coaching reigns shortened by JW after the Mark Smith season. He's very obviously softer and different now. I think, maybe, he's a coach in the same mold (style not necessarily method) as Izzo and Ratboy, but without the resume to forgive the red faced screaming hard !!! moments. He's trying to adapt to this new era of CBB....and I agree he's struggling. I mentioned it earlier this year and this last game showed a few moments where you have to wonder if our Alpha Dog issue between Ayo and Trent is holding us back. We are terrible moving without the ball. We show few efforts to pass out of the post entry to an open shooter. I understand that we have a perceived advantage in the post, but there needs to be some variety and that is squarely on the coaches. Every time Kofi or Giorgi get the ball in the post they are committed to their post moves and I'm mostly sure that is at the direction of the coaches. When it's working we shoot 60% and dominate the glass, when it's not our offense is completely stagnant. The obvious result is we have skilled shooters that aren't getting any rhythm and they turn to the weave to get movement. The minute you see Kofi and Giorgi passing right out of their double and triple team to open AG, TF and Ayo is the minute our offense turns the corner IMO. [/QUOTE]
