[QUOTE="warhawk, post: 1446155, member: 9856"] I've been critical of Underwood but the complaints directed at the lack of development in certain realms of the game is misplaced. We're complaining that Trent can't use his off hand and that's a development issue? P5 players learn to use their off hand in junior high, not college, if he doesn't have it yet, he isn't going to get it. Some of these development issues are ability issues. If you closely observe lineups, some of the "Frazierless" lineups are performing better offensively, I don't have an explanation/implication, that's just an observation. We complain about shooting percentage. Our shot selection is poor. So many shots last night, especially 3's, where form was terrible, and anyone watching knew they were a miss at release. I still disagree that a fast break 3 from the volley ball line is ever a good shot. Trent took one last that he unsurprisingly missed that just deflated momentum. Early shot clock 3's when you are a poor shooting team to begin with, are a gift to defenses. Dunking. Has Underwood banned dunking? Does anyone keep stats on the number of dunks a team has? I bet our ranking has to be close to last in college basketball. Dunking is so good at building momentum and getting the crowd into the game. Maybe it says something about our athleticism. [/QUOTE]
