[QUOTE="Illinoise, post: 1276951, member: 3844"] No matter what "system" you run you have to have players who can win 1 on 1 matchups consistently or at least break down a defense with penetration and draw help. This team really has neither. they try to get JCL open shots but he really isn't a threat off the dribble so you can stay in his hip pocket and go over every screen. I am not advocating that Groce stays but I am really surprised at the level of blame his coaching gets in this. He doesn't have the players, and yes that is his fault and why he is gone at the end of this year. I just don't understand what else he can do with this group. I honestly don't. I think everyone who thinks this will get better with a new coach next year is setting that new coach up for unrealistic expectations. I see comments all the time on here about what DJW, Jordan and the freshmen are going to be able to do with a competent coach. It's going to bad even if Thibodeau has had enough of the NBA and comes to town. [/QUOTE]
