right, but you know what you do with a game plan that's not working? You change it up at halftime, not complain about it in a postgame interview

Agreed... Not trying to defend him. Just adding to 70s post. At least he took some of the blame. I know that's been a knock against his post games interviews in the past. Not many post game comments are going to satisfy fans after a loss anyway. Let's be real.

I thought I heard Coach say he didn't do a good enough job in getting them prepared, which I took to mean that he thought he didn't do a good enough job in getting them to understand his game plan - not that his plan was possibly flawed, or at least needed to be adjusted.

It's really baffling to me. If I had a plan to defend my house from home invasions that centered on barricading the doors, and then when the invaders showed up they started crawling through windows, I believe I would change my defense plan - not say that I should have done a better job of getting my family prepared for executing my defense-of-the-doors scheme.

I'm sure CB McGrath has forgotten more about basketball than I will ever know. But after one guy drops 3 after 3 after 3 on me, I believe I wouldn't leave him alone anymore to see if he can keep on doing it.

Media TO First half, after he drained 4, i believe we were down 3 maybe? He switches to a Box & 1 at that point with Gadsen defending as much as possible, who knows what happens. I can tell you one thing for certain, he wouldn't haven made another 5 threes!
When a guy gets hot like that you force someone else to beat you. Someone else beats you, you tip your cap.

RE: Delaware (Thursday, Jan 10, 7 PM)
You could be right 70s, I might have just heard it differently. I'm not here to defend him... The gameplan was bad, and the lack of adjustments was even worse. I know we can both agree on that. Sucks to see us losing the same ways again and again. I want CB to be successful because I want UNCW to be successful. Hard to see that happening when the staff is not learning from previous mistakes. Oh well, I'm onto Drexel.

RE: Delaware (Thursday, Jan 10, 7 PM)
It’s a bad looking loss and no excuse for it. I will say as a player for many years at different levels I been shot out by one guy more times than I care to admit or remember. What I saw tonight was a couple of players that took some terrible shots and played behind the ball numerous times and that is something that can’t be tolerated.Cylla,Forbes,Gadsden all stunk it up.
Learn some thing and move on.

For all of you Elmore and Kalina haters, let this sink in. Sims played 21 min had 4 rebounds and 2 pts. O'Connell played 21 min had 3 rebounds and 4 pts against Delaware. What would it hurt to give Elmore and Kalina some minutes? Both of these guys are on scholarship but this staff doesn't want to play them? Last year McGrath said on a few occasions Elmore was the best shooter on the team. McGrath recruited Kalina and now he isn't good enough?

Sims was playing the 3 when he was in the game tonight. So that part of your argument makes no sense. O’Connell had one of his best games against Towson so he was obviously gonna get in before Elmore. I can understand throwing Matt out there when we needed some shots to fall, but you need to give it up on Kalina man.

RE: Delaware (Thursday, Jan 10, 7 PM)
I just saw the 2nd half and by then they saw a "big rim". We have to get into them from the beginning to negate the big rim situation. If you come out hungry defensively, good things happen. It's hard once the game has progressed and somebody feels great about things early.

This was a punch in the gut tonight. I hope that they grow from this and take pride in defending their home turf.

Gary it's late and you are right. I guess my point is, quit using the same guys especially when it isn't working. Try mixing the lineup up. It is like the staff is insane and they think they can keep using the same combination of players with different results. Think about it, Taylor and Fornes have gone from being our key players to sitting on the bench. What sense does that make? Rhetorical question. It makes no sense. This staff is going to mess up and have a mass exodus on their hands at the end of this season.

You need team play and to defend bottom line. The guys that do that will play. That's the best way to do this. It will shake out. Coaches/players will see the game tape. Everyone will get a fair shake according to their work/ability.

When a guy gets hot like that you force someone else to beat you. Someone else beats you, you tip your cap.

A box and one is a zone defense. which leaves the middle wide open. We would have gotten killed on the drive, in the post and on the kick out. Plus, I haevn't seen a college team or pro team play a box in one since i've watched basketball. That's at best a HS move and usually a rec move. Futhermore, what are the odds we've practiced a box and one ever?

No, this was simple. Mix it up, TRY playing zone. And regardless if the top basketball minds in the world say we shouldn't do it against a team that shoots well, i'm telling you, WE defend the three better when we play zone. Especially against the style of offense played by Delaware. They slide three shooters behind the three point line on the weak side. Because we cheat so much on the weak side, there is ALWAYS an open shooter. It's the reason we see Toews constantly leaping in the air at the last second to defend the three ball. We are literally 10 feet or more away from their offensive players on our weak side, because we intentionally sag so much. And why do we sag so much? Because we can't stop dribble penetration playing man to man and are counting on weak side help. Another great reason to play zone. It's obviously our strategy, and the Delaware coaches devised a plan to take advantage of it.

The problem is WE did NOTHING to counter what they were doing. ZERO, NADA, no adjustments whatsoever. Our only strategy was to HOPE they stopped hitting shots at a high percentage rate. Quite frankly, that is ALWAYS our strategy. I warned that we were getting all excited about beating two of the crappiest teams in the CAA and it was true. Now it looks like CofC wasn't all they were cracked up to be either.

We're 2-2 and have yet to play Hofstra, William and Mary and NU. And Drexel just took down CofC. My only excitement was that I THOUGHT our coach had learned to make adjustments in the face of a losing strategy, but apparently my enthusiasm was wrong.

I know. Move on and learn from this. But, what will we learn and what will we do about what we learned?

(01-09-2019 08:39 AM)HAWKING Wrote:  For what it's worth, here I present my analysis of the key points of emphasis vs Delaware:

1. CARTER IS THE KEY. (Which means Cacock is also the key). Team Post Up stats are among their most efficient as they score at a rate ff almost 1 PPP. Carter has an adjusted FG % of 61%. Cacock's ability to defend without fouling is obviously important. I do not believe that outside of Defensive Rebounding he has done enough to merit a selection as a member of the ALL DEFENSIVE TEAM. I suspect that Delaware/Carter will go hard at him early.

2. PICK & ROLL DEFENSE. Passes going to the Pick & Roll Man (Roll guy) are extremely efficient translating to almost 1.2 PPP. However, the number of possessions is small since most teams so far have prioritized the roll man. Pick & Roll Handler is less efficient but when ANDERSON is the one attacking he has scored nearly 1 point on all possessions. Since he is the primary ball handler, and a suitable backup is absent, he should be a point of emphasis in game planning.

3.CUTTING. Most troublesome, and mark my words, the Nationally ranked 8th team in this category will cause problems for the Hawks. As far as I have seen so far the only team to present any challenge to UNCW in terms of off ball cutting has been Davidson and they did not fare well in terms of keeping that team to a low point total. I am not talking about cuts where the receiver just makes a layup but rather cuts where the defense helps on the cut freeing up another player who gets open as a result. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Hawks are one of the worst teams in terms of off ball defensive IQ.

4. POTENT OFFENSE BUT BELOW AVERAGE DEFENSE. As they say, "Ball Don't Lie." Well neither do defensive stats. The Hens rank near the bottom of the NCAA as a team (#294 to UNCW's #331 as of today). To put it in layman's terms, 'They cannot defend the Post, defend in transition or any DHO (Dribble Hand Off). The only thing worse according to SYNERGY is their defense versus the Pick & Roll Handler. This means TOEWS. If he is aggressive and looking to score IF Delaware decides to stay with shooters instead of help, which I suspect will be the norm from here on, then he will have a lot of opportunity to prove he can finish or get to the FTL (Free Throw Line). He is almost a 80% FT guy.

5. TRASK. These guys have been on the road. The last time they were at home there were no students. They have momentum. Delaware knows this is a 'prove it to the non-believers' kind of game. As far as big games go this early in the Conference schedule this is HUGE! Big for the Hens but absolutely HUGE for the home team. The season certainly does not depend on this game, however, I can imagine that a win at home will do enough to repair the confidence loss this team suffered in the Non-Conference schedule and restore a little 'swag' to UNCW Basketball going forward.

Personally, it is my hope that everybody gets behind this team for this game because that's what true fans do. Especially considering we have seen a very abrupt change in the 'tone' of posts on this Discussion Board going from 'Doom & Gloom' to 'Let's All Drink the Kool-Aid' in the last 3 weeks.

WINNING CURES EVERYTHING

Go Hawks!


Awesome, awesome stuff. Please post analyses like these for every game. They make mine look like kids stuff, haha.

Could an uptick in our utilization of zone defense be a good counter to their strengths in cutting and pick 'n' roll, as well as keeping Cacok out of foul trouble due to the Carter effect? 82Hawk, your time to shine perhaps?

Thank you. Everybody has something to add to these discussions no matter the level of experience in the sport.

Delaware has played vs ZONE for 189 possessions this season scoring 160 points which means 0.8 PPP. This ranks their Zone Offense at #266 out of 351 teams compared to UNCW at #232 (More teams should play zone vs the Hawks because of their penchant to shoot outside anated lack of 'gap drivers'.

UNCW should experiment with ZONE after time outs or start/end of quarters (ATO) to stop any offensive momentum and/or to just keep the other team off balance. Matchup Zone would be better but takes time and player IQ to run effectively.

Just looked back at this. Great prognostication which we completely ignored. ZONE defense is the Kryptonite for Delaware and we played ZERO zone defense. Can we possibly donate money so our coaches have access to Synergy statistics? Specifically, look at #3. The suggestion to play zone was spot on and the statistics of how poorly Delaware scores against the zone supports it.

This analysis is EXACTLY what happened. If a bunch of people on a message board can figure this out, why can't our coaches?

More importantly, what information do they use to devise a game plan? And, do we hav e any alternative game plans to win besides man to man? One of our own posters uses Synergy statistics and created a spot on gameplan to beat Delaware using primarily ZONE defense. And his analysis was spot on after the fact. Do we use statistics and game plan each team based on their strengths and weaknesses, or are we going to play man to man reagardless? Which means, we don't really have a gameplan, we have ONE plan. It either works or we lose.

Marty Fuerer said in last night's game broadcast that there is something in other teams' scouting reports on us that causes them to take more than their usual # of three point shots against UNCW. They have found a weakness in our defensive game plan and they are exploiting it.

Media TO First half, after he drained 4, i believe we were down 3 maybe? He switches to a Box & 1 at that point with Gadsen defending as much as possible, who knows what happens. I can tell you one thing for certain, he wouldn't haven made another 5 threes!
When a guy gets hot like that you force someone else to beat you. Someone else beats you, you tip your cap.

A box and one is a zone defense. which leaves the middle wide open. We would have gotten killed on the drive, in the post and on the kick out. Plus, I haevn't seen a college team or pro team play a box in one since i've watched basketball. That's at best a HS move and usually a rec move. Futhermore, what are the odds we've practiced a box and one ever?
WE played it 82 later after Horton got his 8th three, that's when we cut the lead down from 17 to 9. Gadsen came out, they went back to something else the lead ballooned again. Box and 1 works when you have 1 guy that's killing you.

Marty Fuerer said in last night's game broadcast that there is something in other teams' scouting reports on us that causes them to take more than their usual # of three point shots against UNCW. They have found a weakness in our defensive game plan and they are exploiting it.


Yup, and simple ZONE wouldn't solve it. If You can't spot shooters in M2M you certainly wouldn't in the zone.
Two things that kill a zone, good rebounding(the have the second best rebounder in the league), and good three point shooters. One kid had 8 threes.

I don't have a problem with the game plan, i have a problem with the lack of adjustment when the originally game plan didn't work. Adjusting in game, has been an issue for most of CB's time here.

Just to let you in on it UNCW did play some zone last night and got heat checked by #12. They saw the zone and attacked it immediately with corner 3’s that went in every time. I personally don’t know what else you can do except change defenses maybe every other trip down but sometimes you just get smoked and that is what I saw. Delaware just could not miss from wherever they shot the ball. Offensively UNCW had some really bad trips with quick bad shots by Fornes,Cylla and that is what put Fornes on the bench. Cylla had his worst game of the year on both ends and should see his time go down.
