With that said, I really wish he was not so "old school" at times. The number of mid-range jump shots we take makes my eyes bleed. I can't believe we run so many sets where that seems to be the goal. Also, it's 2019, was there any thought given to the idea of potentially going 2-for-1 at the end. We had the ball with 50 seconds to go. A quick set might get us two possessions instead of one that resulted in Oliver tripping and throwing something at the rim.

On that note, another thing that drove me mad last night is that we did not once try to attack their press. We let them do exactly what they wanted to do, eat up 15 seconds before we could get into our offensive sets.

I was more bothered by the fact that we didn't try to post Green up a single time when he was being guarded by Gilyard or Francis.

Posting up is a pretty ineffecient shot, but Im assuming that is not something Green does often (cant remember him posting up anyone).

That's the problem with all your stats. WE CAN"T SHOOT THE THREE.We are terrible at that. So stop taking them I say. Of course we can't shoot inside either, so we are screwed. Trey Freeman was might good at the mid-range game, I'd take another one like that.
