Thoughts on the Charleston loss

Recommended Posts

That was quite an amazing comeback, given how poorly we played in the first half. Also, the crowd was into the game -- that's the loudest I've heard it in quite a while.

Still, our weaknesses -- on the player level and coaching -- are just so glaring that it's hard to see us putting it all together this year. Among them:

-- We can't run a set play to save ourselves. (Exhibit A: the last 13.5 seconds of OT)

-- We too often can't finish near the basket, ESPECIALLY on fast breaks. (Christian May, just lay the ball in; forget the dunk.)

-- Cam tries to do too much, to the team's detriment. Yes, a lot is expected of him, but he had a string of turnovers on consecutive possessions in both halves. Bad decisions, bad passes, poor shots. And his frustration level is mounting -- he practically threw Conway into position midway through the second half when Charleston was bringing the ball up-court.

--Hicks gives us next to nothing. And why did he twice back into the lane like he's CT, resulting in turnovers both time.

-- Nick was no-show throughout the first half. Yes, he was being guarded closely, but too often he just wasn't moving without the ball.

-- And Skerry ... there's not much I can say that hasn't been uttered many times on this board, but here's one example that illustrates his "curious" substitution approach: late in the first half, Russell made several strong defensive plays, then scored at the other end ... and Pat pulls him! Why not ride the hot hand, coach?

I keep thinking with all of the connections he has in the industry (and seems to be well liked), after this season would be the perfect time for Skerry to transition to a broadcasting role.

Would think he’d be the next in line to go from mediocre coach to good analyst.

If only he’d give up the north of a million to do that lol
