OOC check in - nothing has changed

[brooklyn brownstone]

I vowed to stay off the board and not follow as closely as I used to, but am allowing myself a check in here.

Two seasons against the two worst OOC schedules that anyone in memory can recall.

This should be no surprise. It's who Moon is and will be. Against good or bad competition the man has shown who he is. To expect anything otherwise is on you/me.

How he turned a gunner like Johnston into a guy who gets 1 shot over 2 games (ONE SHOT!!!!), is a classic Moon offense / system thing. It's not a Johnston thing - just look at Thomas for a second example of misuse by Moon - he drops 6 threes in a game when Tyne was out. Next 5 games combined, he gets FIVE 3 point ATTEMPTS total. That is a system issue exacerbated by coaching that defines itself by taking the path of least resistance, despite that path being terrible shots, shown by the the fact that the center shoots ~5 mid-range 15 footers per game (worst shot in basketball.)

In early moment's of the Char. So. game announcers mentioned that the UR scouting report indicated CS would give UR centers jumpers all day. So Walz went 2-6 in mid range and Beagle 3-9 (though at least many of his were in close misses and not jumpers.) Path of least resistance coaching, no matter if it is good basketball.

It's a rigidity to in-game coaching (i.e. winning adjustments, game flow, substitutions not based on loyalty) that will never be fixed.

We can and should do better. But we won't until change is made. I'll be back then.

Yes, it seems as soon as Thomas and Johnston went off against Belmont they were reeled right back in. Can't hurt Tynes feelings. Classic let down after winning an all so elusive road game. Kind of like two years ago when we tied for the regular season and Moon had a big sigh of relief and celebration. This board could see the big let down coming, and sure enough...THUD.

The most disappointing thing about this OOC slate, we don't seem to have clear roles, pecking order, or identity. The democracy worked ok against lax competition but I fear we are not prepared.

The good thing is GW seems like they have the ability to lay an egg with the best of them under Caputo.

Don't turn your back on the team! We want you back.

Sad to say but the Mooney factor has arisen, destroyed the early season mojo this team had.

Great post.

It's not the team. I have never turned from the team/players, always have supported. Just cannot add to the misguided institutional support of .550 and say that it is good enough. Demand better.
