Good news is brooks broke his streak of getting rejected by the rim, he was going two games strong with it and broke it last night.

In all seriousness though he’s been solid the last 2 games although it was against lesser competition playing against guys who are smaller than he is. I’ll admit it’s starting to look like I was wrong on him and he might be better than I thought, I don’t think he is great, but I do think he is decent.

Brooks is the worst offensive player I can remember. I have never seen anyone miss more shots from 2-3 feet. And Moore isn't the best 3 point shooter Mick has ever coached. My grandmother could shoot from 3 at a higher percentage.

There is nothing wrong with being defense-first minded.



But Mick is currently defense-only minded. He keeps repeating that offense is 'sometimes you make shots sometimes you don't'. Thats not what offense is.


It's not reasonable to think we'll hold every opponent under 40% shooting. Teams with offensive talent are going to score.


You can't completely neglect one side of the ball.

i think your assumption that he completely neglects the offense is incorrect. You don't win at the level Mick does by ignoring one side of the court. You maybe overstating your opinion a bit. I'm certain he does put a big emphasis on guarding. He demands it. But to say he neglects the offense is not true. Offenses always look better when your shooting the ball well. The theory that he doesn't try to sign players who are good offensive players is false. I think under the circumstances in which he is forced to recruit in he does well with the talent he has access to. I think if you believe he wouldn't like to have players with a better overall skill set may be a wrong conclusion.

I never talked about recruits or any of that.



I'm simply talking about what the coach himself is saying. In his opinion our defense has been terrible. In his opinion offense comes and goes and shots either go in or they don't.


The defense is miles ahead of the offense. It might not be up to his standards, but its far from bad. The offense is bad.


Both should upset him.

Cronin is to offense what Mike Brown is to winning football games. If it happens, wonderful but we’re not going to let it spoil our day if it doesn’t.
