The results this season obviously haven't been ideal, but there's plenty of proof we're on the verge of a breakthrough. Watching Harvey, Thomas and White, it's pretty clear the talent level is trending in the right direction.

Are we really making decisions about whether someone is going to be a good or bad coach after 21 games?

Very good and fair points.

My question is what is Coach Siddle's half court offense supposed to ideally look like?

Certainly not the weave-it-and-heave-it three point shots we have seen a lot of. Certainly not the man-to-to stuff we have seen too much of and which Coach has decried. But there is also no indication that it is any kind of motion with pick and roll that others have referenced were Cacock's bread and butter.

I though after the Coastal Carolina game that we might be seeing point guard penetration, inside out, kind of action. But that seems to have gone into hiding. And I have a hard time seeing Jaylen Sims running point to make that happen anyway (hope I'm wrong - I frequently am!).

But can you or someone else describe in layman's terms what Coach wants the half court setup to run like, and why they think Jaylen Simms (who I think is a great player and human being, by the way) is the guy to quarterback the thing from the point?
