I'm sure when the coach becomes more comfortable with him you'll see more of that. Right now he is most comfortable playing off the ball scoring. With Cumberland struggling a bit he has decided to bring him off the bench.

You yourself have liked Evans running PG. Why can't Broome and Evans split that duty while on the floor together?

What if anyone breaks an ankle? I get you want to defend Coach, but c'mon some of this stuff is really flimsy.

Jake I don't want to defend coach. I don't need to. I will assume no one posting here has his coaching ability nor do they have access to all the info he does driving his decisions. Starting JJ over Broome is not so much about ability as it is about him managing the game.

You and others keep saying Cane turns the ball over way to much he’s at 2 turnovers per game. So where’s all these turnovers you are referring to? Some of the best guards on top 25 teams averages more and they seems to have little trouble being successful so do they have any problems. This team will be fine they just have to play and play care free without fear of making mistakes. If that happens look out.

I’m trusting cane more and more and believe he should start.

I think he is a great player and I’m glad to have him. While he does throw the occasional lazy pass, I think he will be fine. I think team chemistry on the court just needs to keep getting better. We rotate so many players that’s it’s tough for every one to be on the same page.

The more I think about it, the more confident I am that we will sort out the issues.

Jake developing depth and looking at guys in certain roles is not flimsy.

No...but "What if he breaks an ankle?" and "What if he gets into foul trouble?" are flimsy. Those aren't things you go into games so worried about that you change your rotation/scheme. And Broome isn't any more likely than anyone else to have these issues. If anything, he's less likely going to hurt us with fouls, even if he picks up 2 early. I mean shoot, he played 3 minutes in the 1st half the other night without the foul trouble. Cronin just basically slapped 2 fouls on him himself.

When Cronin delivers us to the promised land I will stop thinking he can get better. If I were a Duke fan I would probably just go ahead and never question the coach ever. However, our coach can also get better at certain things and I may not be qualified to address them...but this forum is not worth much if we can't contemplate these things.

I trust coach will forget more than I will ever know about BB...but he's got some improving to do just like the players. He has been slow to adapt but I am happy that he has recently in recruiting and offensive scheming. Many of the fans on the board were clammoring for some of the changes that have been made and it looks like we have one our best teams ever. There are some knowledgeable fans in here even if I am not towards the top of that list...lol!

We don't run our offense the same when we get Cane the ball on the wing. He's not just standing out there waiting for a shot (like Cumberland or Evans). We run him off the baseline and set a pick so he can get the ball on the move. Then he goes to work...he's not been attempting a lot of 3's from the wing.

we've been running this play since forever but broome is still better at the top of the key with room to work. watch wichita state and how they use shamet.


your PG is allowed to have set plays where he runs off screens off the ball. but the ball should still be in his hands when those specific plays aren't being called.



running a high pick and roll offense with cane is going to be much more effective than him curling to the elbow coming off screens. he doesn't have the shot to catch and shoot it there like you need when running that play. how many times has he caught it there, drifted towards the FT line and taken a bad shot fading sideways. we dont want him shooting those shots.

Waite's going to make his own luck out there. If a front row parking spot opens up at the mall, it's bc he put in the work to make it happen. Lol. Jk jk.

Dear lord please don't let Waite get stuck at Sephora or Bath and Body Works for more than 1 hour each. Please give him the strength to endure getting spray choked by perfume consultants and please don't let him have to get a mani pedi. Please let there be a clear decision on where to eat.

Amen

Lmao. They're definitely getting lunch at Panera.

I'm not sure what Sephora is, but I did have to buy a gift card there for someone. It could be anything as far as I know.

They are always one step ahead. Just go ahead and bring up 3-4 places you would like to go to and then settle on the greek salad and wrap place.
