A pg's job in our offense is to bring the ball up the court and get us into our half court set. Jenifer is better at protecting the ball should they press and is a better passer and sees the floor better. That's what Mick expects of him. When Cane comes in and his first pass is lazy, what is he showing coach? Again, I'm playing devils advocate here cause I'm tired of constantly reading how great we think Broome is and how garbage we think Jenifer is. Broome is a great individual scorer, no question, but Mick wants five guys working together. Mick wants the ball to go inside to Gary and Kyle and they either score in the paint or kick out to an open shooter or reset the offense. We don't have to like it or agree with it and I too can get frustrated with his offense, but that's what it is and will always be. When he says we'll go at a quicker pace, that just means get into the sets quicker and not dribble so much, not a run and gun offense. Mick wants a half court game so we can actually play defense because that's where our advantage comes. And I think he likes Broome to be instant offense off the bench when we are struggling and need to abandon the game plan. Vs. Mississippi State we had a comfortable lead and didn't need Broome. When he did get in, his first pass almost got picked off. They had two good bigs down low, Broome wasn't going to get to the rim vs. those guys, so what was he bringing to the table? Vs. Florida we jumped out to a 10-4 lead and he subbed out Jenifer for Broome and the lead was quickly lost. Now I'm not suggesting Broome is the reason we lost, but facts are facts. Mick wants to run the offense through Gary, Evans and Kyle. He wants them scoring. With those guys all capable of scoring, we don't need Broome to score. Simply put, I think Mick sees a bigger picture than us fans on the board see and understands how five players work together. I think he feels Jenifer works better with the rest of the starters than Broome and likes Broome as a scoring option later of and when needed. When Brooks and Scott get on the floor, you need more perimeter offense, thus Broome.


Now with all that said, I too feel Broome needs to get up to speed cause he's clearly a better scorer and if he can learn to work within the offense and cut down the careless passes and over penetrating at times then he makes the team better than Jenifer does. For us to win in March, a guy like Broome is essential unless we really become a wrecking crew inside and I don't see that happening.
And vs Xavier we got punched out and lost the game before Broome ever got on the floor.
