[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 115312, member: 231"] I wouldn't mind seeing Josh Heath go after that foul line jump shot he has and also feel free to finish with an actual layup attempt instead of a pass on his drives down the lane for a whole game, or even just as an experiment do it for a half. I mean this as a compliment to him because he is very good at being a "coaches son" pass-first point guard. But the 2-guards have not been carrying their share of the scoring load. I think that fact justifies Heath getting "selfish" some more and forcing the opposing d to expect him to take it to the basket or nail a jumper. It could even improve the rest of the offense in general if he forced the D to try and shut him down more aggressively. At the App State game I recall watching one possession where he drove the right lane and it seemed to me had a clear angle to go ahead and finish with a lay-up but instead he dished it under the defender to the post. I want to say it was to Cox, who didn't have a shot and ended up having to pass back out; a situation which has led to a bunch of turnovers actually (less with Cox than Mitchell though IIRC). The ball found its way back to Heath who was wide open to take a three but hesitated, then when he started to think of taking it the defense had recovered and it turned into a pump fake. Now, Tech ultimately scored on that possession but I thought that Heath had a real good lay-up chance he passed on and then a very open 3 attempt as well and I didn't get why he doesn't take more advantage of those.
