Here is the reality on "running an offense ".....

I am not defending pike here Xs and Os on offense ….but what do you want us to run that will create better looks with the personnel we have ???

I’m being serious here …

the space thsr our poor shooters are given really crowds the rest of the court …

Amd we don’t have guys who really move well without the basketball . You see a guy like Sanford from Iowa …it’s the ability to be agile and balanced moving off the screens to get open …and then get the shot off quick. I do not see anyone on the team outside of Dylan and Ace with that atheltic ability and cordinatoon to do that …..

can we do some different things on sets to be better offensively ??? Yes ….but at the end of the day , we can have fran Mac or Greg guard or Matt painter come in….and I don’t know wha they are running for this team when it has this much of its roster Incapable or hitting above 33% from three …and outside of Dykan and ace , guys who can’t do anything but shoot threes

This is both a jimmy and joes issue AND and Xs and OS issue

But it’s more jimmy and joes being the issue …..

It's not a more Jimmy and Joe's issue.
Fran or Greg or Painter wouldn't have these Jimmy and Joe's playing a prominent part in the first place.

HC Pike ecruited these Jimmy and Joe's because they fit his Xs and Os on offense (iso heavy and minimal focus in shooting).

He's not saddled with all these guys who were historically great shooters but they can't shoot now in our system.
He's saddled with bad shooters who are still bad shooters.


If HC Pike wanted to play multiple guys who could shoot and stetch the floor, he would have recruited multiple guys who could shoot and stretch the floor.
