I love having Cooke on our team and think he has a shot at A10 POY, but maybe he watches this game film and learns from watching when to make an extra pass.

But Cooke and Scoochie are about the only ones who can create a shot. And Scoochie's ability to do so is lessened if the defense plays off a little as he can either take a three or get all the way to the rim.
Ball movement is different without Cooke because it has to be. Archie wants Cooke to look to score when he has the ball. The ball won't move as quickly if Cooke looks to see if he can get it the rim.
And against teams that actually play defense (unlike the
Bonnies,
Explorers and VMI) the ability to create when ball reversal gets shut off matters.
