I like Rob. He's a nice man. IMO, good head coaches don't let what's happening to us actually happen. I'm afraid he may be in over his head. When I look back over the season to date, I'm amazed at this teams tendencies and how slow Rob has adjusted to them:
* Players shot selection...three's at the wrong time, taking off balance three's, driving & leaving their feet with no where to go (turnover), reckless drives to the hoop only to heave up a hopeless shot under the rim, under the board, over the board, on the side of the board, etc.
* Players not knowing how much time is on the shot clock or not having a sense of urgency in this situation. I believe that Brewer let the shot clock run out at Toledo on one possession Sunday and it sure looked like he thought he had more than 5 seconds on the last play last night
* taking 15 games to realize Tabb can't play and that Spicer is a better option
* lack of overall discipline
* poor execution out of time-outs
* excessive fouling (abundance of opponents FT's)
I just don't think a good coach allows all of the above to continually happen in the same season.
