Why do UK opponents consistently get multiple layups on in bounds plays under their own basket each game and UK never gets a layup on in bounds plays? Why do we have to watch this same scenario every game?
In Bounds Play

We should put 4 guys in front of the inbounder and put 1 guy is CF. It might not work but neither is what we are doing now
I’m sure some here will find issue with a negative post in a blowout W but it’s a real question that needs answering. It doesn’t matter in a game like tonight but can be the difference in a game like at Georgia last year. Very troubling that Cal just continues to let the other team score at will on their out of bounds plays.
Has to be because the coach knows how mad it makes us. I mean, nobody goes years not fixing that simple problem.
Not surprised that OP started this thread after that game, but it's a legitimate question even if the timing of the post is suspect (but on brand).
It's because Cal won't go zone on out of bounds plays under our basket. If you're always in M2M on those plays, inevitably somebody is going to lose track of their guy on occasion resulting in easy layups.
It's part coaching and part execution.

I’m 55 and never seen a team burned this often on the inbounds. Any level, any day. It never has happened. Odd.
I once heard Tubby Smith say zone that inbounds play each and every time- no exceptions
I think you're a troll.
Because we are one of the few teams in America that still plays man to man on out of bounds plays under our basket.
If you insist on M2M you must switch the picks at least.
you can’t fight through every pick in the paint.
Watch the UM basket in the second half, under the basket. We were in man, of course, and Oscar trails his man to the basket for a 5 foot pass directly in front of the “inbounder” and a 2 foot layup. No one in America gives that up.
My sons 7th grade team would not allow that basket.
Yeah it has you just don’t know where to look, and I’m not telling you where to find.
Even my wife said the same thing last night during the game- would love to see us get 1 inbounds layup per season but hard to do when you just throw it to the corner every inbounds play
Yes, THIS!! But Cal will never learn..drives me absolutely insane!! Every fundamental coaching scheme I've ever seen, you zone up on under the basket inbound plays to take away a damn layup!
It made the difference in the Notre Dame game too
2 wide open baskets ..........didn't ND win by 3
It's not coaching, hell we were taught in middle school how to guard out of bounds plays with a man to man defense. I'd say that Cal and assistants are pissed about what happenrd last night and it will be addressed. Just lacadazical play on the players part, they know better IMO.
If there was an official statistic kept for points given up on inbound plays, we would have to be at the top or near the top consistently.
He'd rather give up a layup than a wide open 3. Over time analytics add up, but like Bill Belichick says "Stats are for losers"
Been going on for 13 years......if Cal was pissed would have addressed the problem years ago.
Hard to practice defense against inbounds plays when ya don’t run any yourself.
Seems teams zone us quite often in the same circumstance yet we never get a wide open 3.
What if I told you we didn’t have to give up either if it’s defended correctly….
Yeah the pass to Brooks/Toppin in the corner (100% of the time) doesn’t yield too many open looks from 3.
There has to be a reason, right? It's not just "failing to understand how to defend an inbounds" (although Im sure some like to think Cal doesn't know basketball). He must be doing this for a reason.. maybe he purposely keeps inbound plays under the hoop cut and dry? Prefers to work on other things in practice? Maybe like someone said, prefers the 2 over the 3?
Not saying I agree with it.. but there has to be an explanation.
Sometimes it seems Cal prefers to keep things simple for most of his young and inexperienced teams.. maybe to a fault I guess.

I just can’t fathom inbounds plays (on offense at least) taking up a lot of time in practice. These aren’t 5th graders….seems like they’d be able to catch on pretty quick.
Always bugs me to watch other teams score on us on inbounds plays…..yet it never occurs to the coaching staff….”maybe we could get a couple easy buckets per game doing that”
I guess I agree, how much time could it take? It does seem that Cal focuses on the stuff that's most important, given the limited time he has with some of these 1ADs and 2ADs.
I just can't imagine any coach of his stature doesn't know how to run different inbounds defensive plays. Any one know what he did at Umass and Memphis?
