We finally started getting some momentum and he essentially passes it to the other team under our basket and they get a layup. I think he then turned it over either the next posession or sometime really soon after. Then the next possession he takes a 3 early in the shot clock and outside of the flow of the offense. Instead of down 10 with the ball with about 9 minutes left, it's back to 17.

We are not going to be a good team by having lazy turnovers. ANd the 3 point defense has to be fixed. We cant be that bad at what is supposed to be our bread and butter.

Jeff changed to a different loaf of bread and a different brand of butter on Saturday when he abandoned the man-to-man defense. For whatever the reasons, this team doesn't seem to play it nearly as well as past ones did.
