So far it seems to me the coaching staff is throwing WE in at the 5....I would like to see him at the 4 and the same for AT! SS and DC are 5's.....but the staff will play TW starting at the 4 and it looks like TB will replace him....IMO both could play the 3....in fact didn't TB take some 3's?

In fact, TB made the team's first 3 of the year vs Lewis. He seems to be better offensively than (most of) our guards. With his height, he feeds the ball into DC better.Originally posted by Big Mike View Post
But I'm not a great D evaluator, and some have questioned his D.Comment

Have we played only Man-to-Man defense this year?This is just the tip of the iceberg...

I did not notice Bradley playing any zone defense yesterday, but this article says they did (see 4th paragraph)--Originally posted by bugregshu View Post

We played a 2-3 zone for a very short spurt, and I believe gave up an NBA-range 3 from the top of the key.Originally posted by Da Coach View PostI did not notice Bradley playing any zone defense yesterday, but this article says they did (see 4th paragraph)--

Why don't we play zone defense then? If man to man isn't working, then it's worth a shot. I realize that it's probably not the most popular suggestion in the world, because it hasn't really worked in years past, but how much worse can it be than our defense now?
If we scrapped the zone defense against UW-P after their kid hit an NBA range 3, then that's ridiculous. They are a D-III with nothing to lose, not all teams are going to try and take those shots.This is just the tip of the iceberg...Comment

Yep, I think we played zone for one possession...they made two passes and hit a wide open deep 3...and then we immediately switched back to man after that.Originally posted by BradleyBrave View PostComment

One thing I like about the zone is it can keep a big man who is in foul trouble in the game ......I really don't like this team when DC sits on the bench right now! And I would drop the press we ran all night...it didn't do much IMO...get back on D and save the legs for better things!Comment

I don't understand the press we play. If we aren't a good defensive team, then why be so aggressive on defense?This is just the tip of the iceberg...Comment

We have too many new guys to regularly play zone. You cannot sucessfully teach this pressure man and zone at the same time by this point in the year.
They need to play what they've been taught in practice, and expand on it.
We play righ risk/high reward. Unfortunately,thus far, the risk has been too easily exploited. As they learn, the risk should be minimized.Comment

wow what a lineup that will be when TB gets into game shape (knowledge).

That sounds just right to me. Unfortunately I think it may be more likely:Originally posted by mrcoachdude View Post

Guys our rotation will only be 8, 9 at best. Here's my 9 men rotation regardless of starting and position.
SM, DD, EM, CR, TB, AW, TW, DC, SS.....everyone else will see the bench quite extensively unless there is some serious foul trouble. One thing is loud and clear is that DC is our number 5 and I would suggest that every starting position will be up for grabs this week in practice even our captains."Educate and inform the whole mass of the people...they are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty."

I hope DN's knee heals up and we get to see him play....I think he is a 2 and can shoot the 3!

For what it's worth, I agree with the majority of posters and believe the most likely lineup to be:
SM
DD
AW
TW
DC
I would LIKE to see TW playing in the three, with two bigs out there... But JL's tendency is clear on this.Comment
