Re: GDT: Jackrabbits @ The Rocky Mountain High City
Can't we just watch game film from last year and just do what every team did against our zone? Should be good for a school record in 3 pointers the first time out.

Originally posted by goon View PostMaybe its just me but I think we need more Daum and Theisen in the game when they go to the zone, switch them up between the high and low post. work the ball from one side to the high post and have the ball either go back to the wings, or if they collapse they can pass any direction. Otherwise have the ball enter the high post from the wing, if the player who guarding the wing from where the ball left collapses to the high post, you can work the ball back out and they have to recover or rotate further which allows for the ball to swing back around for an open shooter. Maybe its just me but getting a high post who can pass and move the ball inside and out seems a good way to get a good shot or break down in the zone. If Duam is the high post, if they don't collapse he can attack the rim, if they do, he can dump off to thiesen on the low block or back to king or Jenkins or flatten or telly on the wings.

Originally posted by 91jack View PostHowell had a couple of things going against him last night. He has a turnover problem but he also struggles to shoot the ball. His FT% is by far the worst on the team. When the other team is behind and fouling, do you really want somebody in there that they can use "Hack a Shaq" on?
The positives that he had was there was only him and Brown on the bench and he is best at driving into the lane and shooting very short shots. Reed, Skylar, Lane and Jenkins Jr don't clog up the lane very much. Key hasn't shot much from outside so I don't know if his range is just like Howell's or not.
I'm just glad the game wasn't another 4 minutes or I don't think the team would have pulled it out. Their double digit lead was just big enough for them.

Re: GDT: Jackrabbits @ The Rocky Mountain High City
Was at the game last night. Good showing by jackrabbit fans, probably half the attendance was blue. Didn't feel like the game was ever really in doubt. Denver just didn't have the time to do it and we made our FTs. Zone was a problem, but Denver has hardly shown one all year so I understand if it caught us off guard. I'm sure we'll be ready for it if we see them again. Nice place to watch a game. Good views, food, and they sell beer.
Officiating was the worst I've ever seen. Unreal the amount of tic tac calls. Frankly it was called like a women's game. Physicality was totally taken out of the game, 3 players on one team should never foul out of a men's game that doesn't go to overtime. Hopefully we avoid that crew the rest of the year.

Originally posted by goon View PostA tight game though and his history of turnovers probably not the pick you want. Seems like he played well earlier and Key was struggling at the end of the bench, now Key is a big bench contributor and Howell isn't getting off the bench. Suprising considering how strong he finished last year.

I'm no expert on coaching at any level above youth sports, so I'm not qualified to do more than arm chair quarterback, but it doesn't seem real effective. Maybe if Daum or Telly was in the high post or either flashing from the wing to the baseline we could attack the seams better. I didn't see that happening last night and Daum didn't look like himself in the second half. Seemed to lose some energy down the stretch and it affected his defense, especially when Amigo started to have an impact. Daum's last foul appeared to involve him letting his baseline arm come down to possibly rest it and it ended up hooking Amigo's arm. If both arms were up, I don't see him getting called for that foul.
Bottom line, the team looked really good through 3/4's of the game. Denver's announcers were convinced that the Jacks were the cream of the Summit and that USD was a notch below. That last eight minutes was important. The team learned how to get a gut check game with Daum not being an integral part of the stretch run. Just win baby!

He does tend to force things on the offensive end, but I feel he can also bring energy on the defensive end, especially when you already have 3 guys playing tentative due to foul trouble.

Congrats to the Jacks for gutting out the win. Losing Daum, Thiesen and King to fouls were heavy losses for a 10-player team. If he was still on the team, Dallas Polk-Hilliard might be getting some minutes.
