You are absolutely wrong about the street ball.
The Herd runs actions, not sets., except for out of bounds plays. You obviously don't know enough to recognize the different varieties of screens which do successfully free up open shots and div s to the rim.
The problem is that the Herd misses those shots and lay ups.
The offensive continuity is horrible. We are playing a team with two D2 transfers and some freshmen. They play defense where they get up in you and we do stupid stuff liking handing the ball off which is the incorrect way to attack this defense. We should be passing and cutting. We have certain match ups where if we cut to the basket or cut and post, then we have a size advantage. Instead, we hand the ball off with a guy rolling away from the basket and they switch and jump up into us further.
Miami has little talent. But they are coached up with fundamentals and at least have some type of identity on offense. If they keep hitting outside, then those back cuts they run will be open.
Dan showed not one adjustment to Miami's defense. Gave away a timeout when he could have used one to adjust. 4 media timeouts.....and we continually hand the ball off to a guy going away from the rim. He has a week to watch film on how Miami plays up in you and to develop an offensive attack. I don't see & I haven't seen an adjustment.
The Miami coach had enough sense to use his use it or lose it timeout. They scored. We came down on that next to last possession & instead of setting something up around the basket.....Dan doesn't use a timeout and lets Voyles (who I am getting sick of being a ball hog) jack one up after one pass.
There is no excuse in that first half performance. This is hardly an athletic team we are playing. They have just practiced more fundamentals in practice. They know how to use pivots correctly and know how to read a defense.
Voyles came down on that one possession and kept dribbling and dribbling and dribbling while Conner was wide open on the wing. I am glad Ot called him out. But did Dan?
