Cortez Groves on 5aa tonight

'What do you do besides basketball?'
'It's all about basketball really.Basketball's my thang.'
'Thanks for coming in.We seem to have run outta conversation.'
'Just one question then before you go. How many of these quarters do there appear to be in a game?'

Anyways- Seems like it's dribble-drive motion,with movement after creating a driving lane,all based on Gilchrist penetrating.

Agree with XY - Adelaide have no "Plan B" when the dribble penetration gives them nothing... which is often the case.

Set screens for Ng, let Balls post up, get Burston cutting... it's not a difficult game.

Mutley - It MIGHT be that our point tugs the singlet a lot - 'I'm doing this by myself' Maybe?

Spot on "XY"

Back in the olden days when I was playing/coaching, one of the prime thought process considerations was to think "what can I do with the ball" before I got it, rather than "now I have the ball, what am I going to do with it". Makes a big difference.

If the gaps are not there, then that is the time to keep the ball moving around the arc rather than holding it waiting for gaps that won't come (because then the defenders can just collapse on the dribbler). Gilchrist and Groves are both guilty of holding the ball too much in that situation.

Good ball movement will open up the gaps for the drive and dish. This is the biggest problem with our offensive sets, that we seem to have no natural ball movement or flow to the offense. This begs the question whether it is really all a coaching problem after all.

Scotty's job is probably safe because he does a good job of blaming the players and the refs. With regard to the refs he doesn't say it to the media although its evident by the amount of complaining he does during a game. With regard to the players, his arguments are always the same, they looked really good at training, or we practice press breaks all the time. In other words, he teaches his team the right things, they just don't do it. He has never come out and said if I had tried a different rotation, it may have worked better or something along the lines that would give him ownership of the problem.

I think some players are struggling with their roles and how they fit into the team.
(the radio commentators didn't even know there was a game on here tomorrow)
The point likes to tug his singlet a lot -
I'm doing this by myself.
Not sure that was/is his role.

A coupla footy players that didn't know anything about the events of the last few days, kinda fumbling along about whether he likes footy and the like was disappointing.. (only 1 caller, it was pretty short)

The only thing that MAY be of interest to you..
(or maybe not) - ' Here they've got Ballinger and Gilchrist , who are the main scorers,and I've been asked to play a defensive role, rather than a scorer'
Interesting ?
