I’m not ready to dump the coach. I believe a big part of the problem is we have a roster with less than 7 A10 caliber players. Duquesne is bigger, faster, tougher, and much more
athletic and deeper than we are. It seems like a decade a go when we had 3 NBA players on the roster and several guys who made money playing in Europe. When is the last time a kid hit the floor for a loose ball? Our bigs are physically overmatched. Dean shows promise. Parr is looking like a Colonial league player. Bishop and Ball can play at this level. Perhaps the ball would be shared more if the other players could compete at this level. Moyer can play. He does a lot of things that don’t show in the box score. I hate to see who would rebound if he was not here. Time will tell re the freshmen. There has been an improvement on the defensive end. We continue to not be able to stop penetration and rebounding and 50/50 balls are lot about heart. Let’s hope the talent train is stopping at Foggy Bottom soon.

In reference too looking like a team I have to say good players make a coach look good. Infusion of talent is a must. Time will tell about coaching. We have looked so bad early against weak comp that there have been moments lately there has been some improvement. If the talent improves and the play remains the same it’s definitely talent and coaching.

All very perceptive posts.   jf points out the coaching differences.   We clearly again lost the "in game" coaching contest.  Lets see what happens in the overnight adjustment coaching contest.  Until we can figure out how to run an offense which utilizes  the strengths of all 5 players on the court rather than in allowing just 2 players to put up all conference type numbers, the offense will not improve.  2 twooed indicates that we have less than 7 Atlantic 10 quality players on the roster.  This is correct, but it must also be remembered that the coach has now recruited all players on the team with the exception of Battle, and he isn't the problem.  Shame we lost 2 A-10 quality players recently, probably because they weren't 2 of the players that were being utilized properly.   I agree with Free that we got burned by 2 players that hadn't put up any numbers in their earlier 2 games, but I don't believe this was bad luck on our part, rather than good coaching on the part of Duquesne, which has instilled more than 1 or 2 scoring options for its team.  Those 2 players did well because Duquesne was able to make adjustments when their best scoring option was shut down.  As for his comment that Moyer  reminded him of a poor man's Yuta, at least defensively, I agree with that, however my analogy is still that his overall game is that of a poor man's Omar Williams.  And I also see him as another offensive option being lost because of our need to make sure that Bishop gets his 20 points per game.

2 offensive rebounds leads to 5 points for Duquesne.

after 5 minutes, already 2 assists, equally total from entire first half yesterday.  Still not getting loose balls

Bishop to Battle and Brelsford like that could have been done in all season

Wonderful things happening on offense, with Bishop on the bench.  Hmmm

Brelsford showing from nice stuff.

up to 6 assists, passing all of yesterday after less than 10 minutes
