Another great post game quote

Toney plays with effort
Honestly so does Xavier- regardless of his flaws
unfortunately 2 players trying all the time equals losing
Horton tries but is limited defensively
Justin doesn’t try at all on defense - I mean at all.
akc plays with effort but is over matched
Same with femi -but he’s offensively limited
Fair enough. But to even have 1 guy not giving effort is bullsh**. I’d expect that much out of an 8th grade squad. Effort is the floor.
8th grade coaches are more likely to bench players than a college ones
Brown doesn’t try
Trying is working for positioning and boxing out
I’m 6’4” and over weight -
I have literally little doubt I could clear out brown and secure a rebound
He plays so small
Head in the clouds Brown prolly at least thinks he’s playing hard. I don’t think he knows how to box out.
Bet your arse I do. I’ve refrained quite a bit from bringing up that let them play line.
Our guys really have no idea why they lose, that is why they can't learn from their mistakes.
After each game, the answer is the same because they really don't know what to say. So, the obligatory, "we need to play harder" is said. How about we need to play defense for a full 30 seconds, or we need to be better with help defense, or we need to box out better, or we need to stop making so many stupid decisions, or we need to stop turning the ball over so much, or we need to stop having 2 T's/game. If we actually realized that any of these were costing us games, maybe we could fix it.
Lol
good point
some folks never realized that Lamar was a far better player -despite how high jj could jump
Correct
Their answers reflect a clueless coaching staff who isn’t teaching them how to play winning basketball
Ever watch Justin on defense ?
He is the prime example of lack of effort

And the accountability for that is ultimately with the coaches. Yes, the players have to play and do those things on the court. But the coaches must drill the basics into the players' heads so they are second nature. Right now, these coaches aren't doing their jobs in any facets of the game....X's and O's, development, recruiting.
As a Penguins fan...this reminds me so many times of quotes of "we didn't play a full game, we need to play a full game". After too many of those, they change coaches. Then they play full games and win championships until they tune out that guy and it starts all over again.
