There was one thing I was specifically watching in the StL debacle, and then watched for the same thing in the
URI game.
Box outs.
In the StL game, every play 2 or 3 guys just turned their head and hoped to out-jump someone. Trey was the only exception, you could see he was told to go put a body on somebody. But it didn't matter since he can't block out everyone by himself. The worst offender I saw, by far, was Obi.
In the URI game, from the first shot of the game you could see 5 guys turn and look for someone to go bust in the chops. It was beautiful. Obi looked for someone every time. Sometimes we boxed out another UD player just to show we put a body on someone.
I can only imagine what those guys went through in practice this week. They probably did 4 hours of gorilla box out drills. No rules, loser stays on the court and fight the next group.
