When you need a bucket I high hook shot off the back board is not the shoot you need to take. Was that the play they drew up in the huddle?

Get StartedThis one's tough. Really wanted this game. 3 top ten wins would be mighty nice.
First half killed them. Missing dunks and good shots just a terrible showing. Should not have required that big an effort to comeback and it cost them. That and nobody stopping #3.
Oh well.
Seemed like #3 wasn't even looking to pass. Just driving. Had to make him give up the ball. Yep, one guy beat them in the end. And a poor shot selection at the end. Disappointing loss at home.
He really didn?t get to the rim though NS? It was a 2-5 foot hook shot high off the backboard From a 3-10 shooter. It wasn?t a layup at all. I guess that hook made it came off the rim hard with a shot at a put back but Teske wasn?t even in there on that play. It was Johns, Wagner, livers, David d. and Simpson. No look at kicking. (Probably no time ). Just not sure about that play and shot, and Howard let 1 guy beat us the last 8 minutes of playing time. Make some adjustments to try and get the ball out of his hands.
Frustrating as Wagner hit the first 3 in ot like the game and still lost. Sucks that is time has huge dry spells on offense.
What I think I saw was - I think in a post earlier you wondered if a play was drawn up at the time out, and I think not - I think Coach just said ?go out and do whatever the fuck; that?s what we did when I played here, and it generally worked out OK.?
Okay, ya got me -NOT.
The play was drawn up exactly - have the ball in the general?s hands as the clock was running out, to drive and dish or drive and score.
The layup lane was taken alway; or in
Simpson?s split second motor/memory it was, and his reaction was taking the hook shot himself.
The play drawn up probably included the collapse to the rim behind him in case whatever shot he took didn?t fall in so it could be tipped.
I would?ve drawn it up exactly that way and I was never even an NBA championship.
Johns looks like he's finally coming into his own. I'm hoping his play can keep Castleton to very limited minutes the rest of the season. Castleton just isn't ready.
Teske has to be way better than he was today. He offered nothing and you can't have that from a starting Senior.

Teske needs to stop camping out at the 3 point line and doing that stupid arrow and bow thing when he goes 1 for 8 from 3 point range. Not a sharpshooter!!
I also think Howard needs to get Franz going by sitting him and making him the 6th man for a couple games. Take a little pressure off the kid. It helped Duncan Robinson when he was rock bottom. It helps a lot of guys when they are in a funk.
