I’m rooting for Grant, I really am, but I have no idea why he couldn’t get his guards to get the ball inside. We had several clean give-and-go’s where the bigs weren’t rewarded with that second pass. We hardly ever tried passing over the top despite our size advantage. It was baffling. That said, our guards killed us with their inept shooting. Mason was able to pack it in and watch us miss over and over again, many coming on wide-open looks. So, I gotta go Grant AND Crutcher. Awful as Jordan was, you can’t have your point guard shooting blanks while turning the ball over four times.

Crutcher. He cannot guard anyone. Repeatedly gets blown by hanging everyone else out to dry. And again settles for so many ill timed 3s instead of actually facilitating the offense like a point guard should. We are down 2 pointS take the ball to the RIM. He really needs to get away from this score first mentality and generalized laziness on both sides of the ball. Davis the runner up for just being ice cold. His defense wasn’t special either but atleast he looks like he’s trying.

Need plan B.

Grant, Grant and Grant

I am a firm believer that as long as the guy has a pulse and is not a complete defensive liability, never take the hot shooting hand out of the game, or in the case tonight even the luke warm shooter stays in.

Early on, Cunningham with 9 points, and first to the bench.
Few minutes later, Mikesell who had 6 points and was playing quite well, to the bench.
Icing on the cake, Cohill hits two threes, and soon there after gets a breather that cools off his hot hand.

Did I miss major defensive breakdowns with any of these three right before they got their breathers? I know fouls were not an issue and considering it was the first half with all three, could not be fatigue either.

Grant, Grant, Grant.

(1) 27/54 shots from 3. I don't care if Mason is packing it in, you do not settle for 3s.

(2) Last sequence there should be no option to shoot a 3. You tell the team that you will not accept a 3 as a shot -- go to the hoop, go to the hoop. If Mikesell had that guidance, he goes through the defenders left shoulder and gets a foul (they had been calling weak blocks all night, they were consistent). In no way shape or form, do you take a 3 there.

(3) The slow tempo continues to be a coaching problem. Dayton is best in transition basketball. Dayton is a better team than George Mason so you want more possessions, the more possessions the more likely you are to win. Shortening the game plays to Mason.

I still believe in AG.

I like Grant as our coach, but this one was on him, for reasons others have cited. Ill-timed substitutions. A failure to get the guys to force the ball into the paint. Not enough plays to get guys decent looks inside the arc. For awhile, I thought BG circa 2007 was back on the bench, with all the pointless “weave” offense I was watching. Yep. IMHO, this one’s on him.

Yep, I am guilty tonight.

Pretty sure this is the first game I have felt this way. Still very optimistic for the future with AG, our incoming recruits, future recruits, etc. UD hired the best man for the job.

Name one coach in history who has not lost a few games for his team. Yep, you can not.

I voted for Crutcher because Grant is not out there on the floor and I am not going to second guess his instructions. He may be telling the guards not to settle for threes and they shoot them anyways! Did he miss the the free throws that Cunningham and Toppin did that probably would have won the game for us? In short the players think that hustle is like turning on a light switch and it is not that simple. It starts with the first tip of the game!

The only thing that may be saving grace is that there is so much parity in the A-10 this season that we still may have time to right the ship.

It’s not all his fault. Far from it. But tonight, he gets the goat horns by not finding a way to get his team to maximize its offensive strength (inside play) and minimize its offensive weakness (outside shooting).

The front court shot 75% from the field (18/24), with none of the 4 below 60% (Trey was “worst” at 3/5), yet we lost because our starting guards couldn’t hit the ocean from the beach...yet they kept shooting. And it must have been OK with AG, because they just kept shooting...and missing. And Cohill (the only perimeter player who shot well tonight, at 2/3) only played 16 minutes. So, yeah, tonight he wears the horns.

And back on the subject of the outside shooting. In retrospect, it reminds me of the climax of the golf movie “Tin Cup”, where Kevin Costner’s character keeps trying (and failing) to hit a ball over a pond and onto the green. At one point, the guy directing the TV coverage in the booth says something like, “Somebody tell this clown he doesn’t have to hit it from there!” Tonight, I felt like screaming “Somebody tell these guys they don’t need to shoot it from there!”

Crutcher. Our point guard leader lead us to another loss. He play better against the tomato cans, but struggles versus better competition. No d. Too much dribbling. Couldn’t get to the line.

Grant can't execute for his guys and has a short bench. With that said...hot hands on the bench with no defensive errors. No called timeouts to rip a guys ass after jacking up ill advised threes.

If guys aren't executing, the plan can and has to change. That isn't up to the players. If we are shooting poor, run sets going at the rim. Shooting poor? Press. Shooting poor? Post touches. When things were failing, we maintained status quo. We shot 9 free throws because we settled for perimeter looks. If anyone is paying attention, that will be the game plan by opposing defenses for the remainder of the season.

Did AG put the team in a position to win?
Did he adjust to the circumstances of the game?
Has he made adjustments to mitigate the teams weaknesses as the season progressed?
Is there evidence the players are developing?

Answer these before you blame or defend.

To me sounded like GM defense shut down all our scorers. They seemed to be well prepare to deny Crutcher anything.

So I am hesitant to consider anyone player (or coach). Once again and it is getting very old, they don't execute well in close games down the stretch. Missed shots, ball goes down comes back up, bad passes, can't make a lay-up.

Heard it during more games this season then I care to ...

Which is exactly why Grant earned my vote. Substitutions handled better, hot shooters stay on the floor at the time, we may have had a 13 point lead instead of 3 point lead with two minutes to go.

This year ain't over, next year will be considerably better, and I still believe we hired the best guy for the job!

Grant cannot shoot the ball for our players. Davis and Crutcher make a few more shots and Grant is a genius. However, our execution at crunch time is terrible. We did nothing in the last three minutes. Part of that is coaching by teaching structure, confidence and tightly run plays. I vote for the trio of Crutcher, Davis and Grant as they all failed.

Heck the team failed. Landers with another so so game, Obi with that bad pass to Crutcher at crunch time, Cunningham with his non-free throw shooting, especially the one and one. Mikesell with the lack of hustle on Obi's bad pass and subsequent putback.

All of the above applies to last night. And AG would agree with you. For those locals who have a chance to listen to Flyer Feedback, last night Keith W articulated perfectly what he witnessed, what we all witnessed, and per usual pulled no punches. There are no excuses: not the travel from Olean, not the short bench, nothing. As others have noted, Keith smelled trouble toward the end of the first half, and it played out that way. The beginning of the game came way too easy for us, but that was because neither team was playing defense. But our intensity decreased while GMU's increased.

This coming from someone who has access to practices, pre game prep, etc. Don't know if they podcast those shows, but they should.

Answer these before you blame or defend.
This. The team is not looking better from week to week. We continue to see puzzling decisions from the bench. And rather than discussing issues with the team, some want to thump their chests over close wins over BAD teams like George Washington.

I'm as happy as anybody that we came back against GW and I've been to plenty of GW heartbreakers home and away, but if we want to be the team that we think we should be in the A10, we shouldn't need a huge comeback against them. We should be pulling away from lesser competition and winning at least some of these close games against quality competition.
