There are a lot of ways to play defense. A good coach would have found one that did not embarrass the team after 2 years.
There is no workable defensive scheme for players that refuse to move their feet and work hard.
Feel bad for DT. If I was him I would have lost it a long time ago.
"Now for some reason, we’re playing selfish and we don’t play defense, even more than we didn’t play defense before."
That's some truth right there.
Why is a coach unable to motivate his players to move their feet and work hard? There are a lot of ways to motivate people. These guys want to be successful so how hard can it be to motivate them to do what they came to Wake to do? One of the problems with an inexperienced hire is that there is so much he may not know how to do. Like figure out how to motivate different types of players.
lolololol, he was probably the 2nd worst perimeter defender on the team last year (behind Wilbekin). Negative lateral quickness.I miss Aaron Rountree he did a great job last year.
Unfortunately moving the feet and playing good D requires more than motivation. It requires athletes. FSU has athletes all over the court. We, unfortunately, do not.
Disagree that we have no athletes. We have better athletes than should account for this defense. Is UVA just stacked with incredible athletes or are they well coached?
I miss Aaron Rountree he did a great job last year.
Rountree is playing 25 minutes a game for a team ranked ahead of the Deacs by Kenpom. Leading them in steals and blocks, and second in assists, too.
