Tempo

Every year Mick tells us we are going to play with pace and really push the tempo.... every single year we revert back to walking the ball up the court.

Mick NEEDS to get out of his comfort zone. His refusal to do is mind boggling and extremely poor.

AVERAGE AT BEST

This team is average at best! Get use to it. Absolutely no "go to guy", can't rebound very well or get loose balls, not great on either end of the floor, very inconsistent. Just very average. That's it!!

It appears that way....

But why continually do the same thing over and over again? Is that not the definition of insanity.... Push the tempo. Create some easier buckets.

Mick can harp on defense and rebounding all he wants... but this team is not very good at those things.

Time for MICK to adjust his style. Something he has refused to do for years. What he is doing simply is not working.

Cronin tried the tempo thing. He decided after 2 at the wire losses to Top 25 teams that it doesn't work.

We are 309th in tempo. I think Mick figures the best way for this team to be good defensively will be to slow the tempo again.

Really been playing pretty slow ever since the first four games. Really disappointed to see the slow down bullsh!t back in full force, but I'm not surprised. The 78 possessions in today's game is obviously misleading given it was double OT with 10 extra minutes.

Tempo ?
I'm in favor of it !
reporter: Coach, does your team have issues with tempo ?
Coach: Well, they beat us twice.

Our problem is none of our guards attack the rim, they all love just standing around and jacking up threes.
- in our nineteen games our point guard troy has attempted more threes than twos in 9 games. Of all of his shot attempts this season 47% (90 out of 192) have been threes(he shoots around 28%)
-in those same 19 games kevin johnson(arguable our best athlete) has taken more threes than twos 18 times (the only other game he took the same amount). Out of all of his shot attempts 69% of his shots have been threes(81 out of 119) and he only shoots about 31%
-cobb who I understand because he actually he's a spot up shooter and a very good one. But 59% of his shots have been threes.
-justin (limited minutes so he's a little different) but 48% of his attempts were threes.
----Kevin and troy are not spot up shooters, but they think they are. Attack the rim, get to hoop, get to foul line, more mid range shots whatever just stop jacking up so many threes! Unless u are Farad cobb

It's been a problem with UC for years. I never have understood why our guards don't attack the basket. Is it the offensive scheme? Players just not good enough? Coaches don't work on it?

I'm not sue the problem, but I'm with u its a repeating problem. Hopefully Evans this offseason works on that dribble and becomes a great slasher who can also shoot, instead of just a set up shooter
