I disagree. I think there are plenty of these questions asked of Mick and he would be the first to tell you, as any good leader, that he doesn't have all the answers and doesn't always push all the right buttons. You make the best decision at the time and learn from the successes and failures.
Don't you think this message board would be a lot more fun if people were actually talking in specifics rather than generalities? Here, I'll start. I think Mick should look into using the high post offense much in the same way Huggins did in Kenyon's senior year. I think Gary is a good enough passer and shooter to be a double/triple threat from the high post. It would change the focal point of the defense and force them to adjust. As long as Gary is strong with the ball, you could use it against man or zone and open up shooters on the outside or cutters toward the basket. There would also be the potential for a drive to the hoop. Gary is really the first player in Mick's tenure that I think can perform well in that set and force the defense to play him honestly.
See, we can discuss that. Others may disagree and that's great. Hard to discuss, "Mick's offense sucks." What do you want to see different about it? Saying, "that's for the coach to figure out" is a cop out answer on a message board.
Same thing goes for the players. I'd like to see Gary get more aggressive on offense. I'd like to see Troy shoot a higher percentage now that he has more established weapons around him. I'd like to see Jacob get to the free throw line more like SK did. I want to see Quadri and Justin provide valuable minutes off the bench without throwing leads away as happened many times last year. I think we do better in discussing the players like this (and Jacob, you have been calling for Troy to shoot a higher percentage for months which is a perfect example) but I think there are other areas that we can be more factual or opinionated and less emotional.
