There are many reasons for why we are seeing what they are seeing....it isn't black and white and they sure as hell aren't excuses.

The last play of the game...Trey didn't execute the entry pass. Josh was wide open. There are no other options as we don't really have any off the bounce, clutch, guys that I would want having the ball other than Cunningham.

Want to watch something that explains quite a bit...the horrific man to man defense. That isn't all on the coach as much as it is on the players. I pray that AG coaches them proper help side defense that is a staple of the game from the 3rd grade on. We got chewed up in man. I will be critical of AG going back to man from the zone...but some of that was lineup specific. If AG isn't teaching proper help D, then we have our answer as to his abilities if he can't even do that. I find that hard to believe.

Outside of the starting 5, XW was the only one that held serve. This team has a combo of 5 players that actually are serviceable during any one game. Sometimes the 5 start, sometimes they don't. Svoboda? Nope. Crosby? Nope. XW? Hopefully his production makes an up tick.

So...guards aren't getting the ball in the post. Who in the hell gets subbed in? Kid playing the sax in the band? The intramural guy in the 3rd row that is 14 Natty's deep? With the lineup deficiencies on this team, parking a guy on the bench for effort is a good decision. Parking a guy on the bench for lack of execution, not a good decision. Lack of effort trumps lack of execution. Lack of effort earns the bench in front of lack of execution.

There are many things that we can all not be happy with to include player performance, execution, AG's system, etc. What I can be sure of is that lineups should be based on effort and not simply execution. I don't like AG's system. But given that system, the lack of execution and defensive effort is more concerning.
