Lol, why don't you articulate a few of these inabilities you think our Hall of Fame head coach has? This should be interesting........
Gspot, I'll be happy to. Basic basketball is something we're not seeing at UK. Have you ever seen a screen set by the center on the guard's man, and then when the guard goes around the screen, the center rolls to the basket, setting up a two on one? Have you ever seen a guard, who doesn't have the ball, set a screen on a forward's man, and the forward then cutting to the basket, around his man, for a back-door cut.. How many times have we seen the man driving the ball, on the so-called dribble drive, and kick it out to a wide open forward, whose feet are set, and waiting on a pass?
Different teams have to be coached different. This team is unlike some of our past teams, but yet, it appears Coach Cal is coaching them the same. Drive to the basket and throw it up. Do we have some shooters, yes, Green, Gabriel and Knox. Do we have some drivers, yes, Diallo, Alexander and Knox. We have some big men under the boards, Richards, Vanderbilt and Washington. Alexander is NOT a point guard in my opinion. Green is the closest we have to being a point guard, but I'm not sure he knows what is expected of him.
Starting Gabriel I think is a good thing. It gives some leadership to the team, which I don't think we had before. I believe Cal's ego has caused him to go with starting five Freshmen much to long. If that wasn't the case, why are we always hearing about starting five Freshmen, how young they are, etc.
I am not a Coach Cal hater, I do not want to see him gone. I also am not a hater of fans on here who don't agree with Coach Cal. There are some very knowledgeable fans on here, such as Semper Fi, Brianpoe, and many others. Sometimes coaches try and put a square peg in a round hole. I think most of us are set in our ways, to some degree. Your probably the only one who thinks your perfect, just as I'm the only one who thinks I'm perfect. LOL! Well, I keep trying to tell my wife of 57 years I'm perfect, but I don't believe she's buying that $hit.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
