Bacot warming up with Heels

I just hope we don't double the guard off the high ball screen like we did last time we were in CH. I was tearing my hair out watching Devion try to bang with Bacott a foot in front of the goal after he rolled out of the high screen. UNC runs a lot of really eye candy on the perimeter just...

I sat in on a presentation by a couple of assistant coaches and SID types from several ACC teams BB teams - including some of the top teams. One of the assistant coaches stated that when he goes to talk to a top recruit (say top 20 or so - my reading between the lines) he generally does not...

We do not have top of the ACC talent but we have guys who could do more with a different scheme and spacing. Creating against a close out on the wing with an open lane is totally different than trying to create when you get the ball at the top of the key with your guy going under a handoff and...

Spacing isn't just about the players - it has really more to do with scheme. Our scheme brings everyone to the foul line/elbow and paint area and puts them in a phone booth. If we are stuck with this scheme then yea let's go with Moore at the 3 because he can drive a crowded lane better than...

Just to make you feel a bit "better". Last year we were next to last in the ACC in avg attendance at 4,791 per game - ahead of Miami at 4,292 per game. This year we have moved to dead last at 3,304 per game - behind even BC at 4,328 per game. Not really a tenable position for a BB program...

Yep

UNC didn't play with the necessary urgency until the second half. By then it was too late. Their offense is a mess with their guards trying to do it all - especially without Bacott. Their D was a mess until they got religion in the second half. Then it was Ok but still not great. What is...

Howard isn’t really going to be a “scheme” scorer unless you count pick and roll. You are not going to run a play for him or really even isolate him on the block. He needs to be a presence moving to the basket to force rotations but his points should be put backs, dump offs and garbage points

I too doubt we fire him this year unless there is an absolute cratering. FB rebuild gets all the bandwidth right now. And that is important to make sure the financial health of the AA overall improves. Like Ivy above I don't want to dump Pastner until we have the ability to fish in the big...

Tell me if it gets any better in the second half :(

That’s OK. Don’t think they need you tonight

For sure, put him out the four and run High low with him on the block all day long. Problem is we don’t have that in our offense. :)

I love, Jalen Moore’s potential, but he is not a five

This is a total restart/rebuild instead of a get old stay old concept. We have a couple of pieces, but we are going to need a five and possibly a four out of the portal to make it.

Now that there is funny. :)

First line I see is Iowa by 14.5. Looks like this may not be pretty for the good guys. Hope we generate some better shots

I am sure Batt wanted this process done by now. I myself would rather he make the right choice now rather than worry about the stability of things over the next week or so

Players are going to reevaluate and some will leave in a coaching change. In some ways it is healthy, especially if that player doesn’t buy into to the change. Worst thing that can happen is for somebody who has invited to stay and be a problem. I’ve seen it in other sports where my kids were...

FWIW my perspective is we can shoot 3’s reasonably well (not great) when we are in transition or in some version of open court. So far our half court set has given us 3’s from 2-3 steps beyond the line when all else fails. Like to see us generate some better looks
