I was also thrilled to see us attacking the rim more often last night. It's funny how the offensive production improves when you start taking higher percentage shots.
Sass describes us, for once, looking to get the ball inside. Besides the better scoring from 65% shots, we almost got 3 of their starters fouled out. That is the reward besides more points that aggressive inside play brings. Also, we shoot more FTs. We hit a good % of our FT last night thanks to Allen's (8/8), Hayes (3/3), and Locke (2/2). Those are 100% shots.
Just winning a single game doesn’t absolve all problems that are easily recognizable.
... easily recognizable and a dire necessity to drill-correct in every practice.
... from the beginning of the whole season, Stokes had to be instructed & used in games. He wasn't made integral to our game-schemes. OMG, a kid who needs learning -- what's a coach do with that?
... "big-man" play = Miss out rebounded us 44 to 27.
... we just observed the Gators attack the rim more numerous times than is our style, than is White's style. We got winning results over a 14-5 team, even though it was a style unfamiliar (i.e. unpractised, unemphasized unto confidence). Applying a balance of inside outside Offense is the way we should have drilled in since before the season began.
... K.Johnson drove tonight for 15 points. Now White needs to attend to that and rally the other players to play aggressively toward the rim.
Will this success style be dropped or built in by practicing with driving intent?
