[QUOTE="HTT, post: 1357793, member: 558328"] Concerns: 1. Blaming the refs for foul calls won't help us. We had foul problems almost every game of the season, and I do not think all refs on earth just hate us. If we cannot fix it going on, it's on the coaching staff. Teaching players to adjust to new rules and do not make stupid fouls should not be that hard. Coaches are professionals to do that. 2. Kipper is a very good player but not in the way he is used now. BU wants him to be the passer and dribbler from high post, but I see too many TOs and bad decisions from Kipper in that role. He is one of the better 3 point shooters on the team and can grab some offensive rebounds from nowhere, and he is so good in defense, but he is not a quality high post coordinator, as of now. 3. If there is one place for Finke in B1G, then it is a bench stretch 4 who comes on shooting some corner 3s and then goes back sitting. The way we use him is beyond his ceiling and will cost us against any competitive opponents. He is too slow in doing anything to make his shooting and passing ability to work on high level. 4. We probably need a dedicated post to monitor Black's injury. But I think it's a good idea to rest Black in the longwood game and give Spicy G more chances. From the limited time in this game, I see Spicy G's potential to fight the best bigs in the country and he's not as an big offensive burden I thought him to be. 5. The lack of perimeter threat from Lucas and Alstork makes the lane very congested . Those one-dimensional players should come from bench to do what they can, not starting. We have great spacing when Frazier and Jordan is in game. They are also plus defenders on this team. 6. We can win this game if we zone and make McCoy sandwich the whole game. The stupid pressing defense (which left McCoy totally open and gifted mooreling a clear lane to drive) at the start of game cost us several fouls and 10 points deficiencies which decided the game. The in-game defense strategy of BU will be his and our major weakness onward if BU refuses to adapt. BU's defense coaching is better than I thought and his team plays with great energy. But almost every game BU tries to do something stupidly risky in certain period of game and gifts some points to the opponent. [/QUOTE]
