Stagman - Recognize your point and share your opinion but there has been progress. That's also what I look at. We lost to Harvard. It was the first game for three integral parts of the team. No Gai. No Deng. As the experience increases for our young players, learning how to hold and increase late game leads will follow. The record is what counts. Who wouldn't have signed up for a 4 and o conference record at the start of the season? Always room for improvement but savor the success.

They need to work on the part of the game when they are trying to stretch the length of possessions. The offense dies. Maybe they go to this stage too early?

Or maybe they need to design the spread such that cutters are available when the double teams come. Then work on the timing in an effort to get lay ups.

Thoughts?

Everyone on this team passes up the open shot with 15 seconds on the shot clock in order to force difficult shots or no shot as the clock expires. Team needs to be less consumed with using clock when they have the lead and more consumed with scoring. After burning 20 seconds off the clock, take the open look and hit it. If you score it doesn't matter if you use clock time

menzies

you are correct, the rythm of the offense stops when the club wants yo kill the clock. Resulting in a poor shot selection to avoid a shot clock violation.

Its not and either-or thing. You can still milk the Clock and at the same time play agressive.

We lost the 14 point lead at Rider pretty quick when Oscar shot quick into the shot clock, missed and then fouled Rider. He was being agressive and our 14 point lead went down to 8 very quickly (in about 30 seconds). If we are a high powered offense then I would say to continue the agressiveness, but we are not. When we have a 14 point lead:

- Milk the clock down to 15sec
- Then be aggressive on offense, 15 seconds is enough to run the offense
- Run only when you got the fast break
- play agressive "D", but Don't foul
- Don't give up 3's
- Hit foul shots

Thats the formula to win games. If you want to see blowouts and risk losing the game, then another strategy is is in order.

What the Stags need to do is to work on their 15 second offense, where one of the key commponents would be if the shot clock got down to 5 seconds, the ball better be in the hands of Todd (2nd choice Maxwell), as those are the 2 players that can create off the dribble, and make a play or get fouled in that time period.
