this team needs to learn to run the offense, 4 to 5 passes, wait for an uncontested shot, learn the motion, learn to set better and harder and tighter screens
pressing St. Kate's won't prove a thing - sure they could start off pressing and blow them out in 5 minutes, followed by 35 minutes of garbage time
if I was coach (& Thank god I'm not), I'd walk the ball up, I'd bench anyone that doesn't block out immediately including 35 feet from the basket, I'd bench anyone taking a contested shot, I'd bench any bad screen, I'd bench anyone that let's their man beat them to teh bucket
this game should be aobut reps on what Beach needs to improve
pressing and trying to seed up an undermanned JV team will be a useless exercise
could care less if we score 45 points, the goal should be to hold St. Kate to 25 points by having solid shots and smothering half-court defense
we shall see, I'll cringe if we start out in a press
hope Tone runs things for 20+ minutes hope we work solid post ups for Stroud, hope Tsahonis doesn't shoot a 3 unless it's wide open,
just not some track meet rec game, that won't develop anything - they don't need to see the ball go thru the net, they need throttle St. Kate and push them back on defense, and need to overemphasie hard passes and motion and space on offense
