It all about pace, as a defensive coach you want your offense to play slow as possible to keep the other team from scoring. If the other team doesn’t have the ball they can’t score and have fewer chances/possessions to score keeping the overall points lower. We N E E D a shooting coach and system. We have great shooters that don’t shoot well anymore. We don’t use our players to their strengths and good coaching would. However, to his credit we do miss a lot of open / makable shots. A coach doesn’t win games, the players put into position to win -> wins or losses the game. However, a coach will lose every game a player is not put into position to win.
My biggest concern with Ime is that he is so slow to adjust. He is a terrible in-game decision maker. He had all off-season to try and prepare this team to play faster with more movement, which he preached, and then went right back into his comfort zone of isolation ball and conservative play. If he can’t adjust to his personnel we shouldn’t change personnel we should change coaches. I am not proposing that so early in the season, but only if this is a season long issue.
I give Ime the rest of the season to figure it out but if he doesn't develop a true good offensive system he needs to go. I doubt Ime would ever do it but I would love to see Sengun in a Princeton offense. He would accel.
I agree with you. Give this coaching staff a chance, let them succeed or fail. final thought: Stone has to be pulling some strings still with Jabari getting starts and playing time. Coach is a puppet for the front office -> No one is this dumb.
