Whos driving the ship? Miles or Players

I just see a team that doesn't look like we are getting better and the same issues keep happening over and over.   Maybe this is not the right offense for this team. I just dont see alot of movement on offense.

Just asking...other than not hitting open looks, why is this not the right offense?

 

As a coach, my mission on offense was placing a player in a position to score.  We worked on fundamentals and then when the time came, it was up to the players to execute. 

 

I am frustrated, as it appears to me that the players are getting open looks.  Players are either passing up the open looks, or not knocking down the shot.   In the first half, we made "the extra pass" and then the recipient dropped the pass, missed the pass or missed the shot.  I really do not want to bang on the players, that is not my intention, but it is my intention to point out that it is not the x's and o's in my opinion.  It is execution and the mental gymnastics that appear to be going on in the players minds.

The open looks tgat we get... is that due to what the defense wants us to take? Of course Benny, Tai, Rivers etc. are getting wide open looks at long 2s and 3s.

I think they should be steering the ship anyway.

A ship can have only one navigator if you hope to get to where you are going.

Andre the player could probably do a lot more to cure the ills of this team than Craig the coach.

Its not like these kids just started playing basketball yesterday. It just seems when they are away of PBA they act like it. No offense in the world will cure brick shooting. They need to get right between the ears when they are on the road. Coach will try to push buttons to find the issue but these guys need to start balling. I think this team lacks a balanced leader on the floor. If they had a good floor general type point this team would be lots better. Just my opinion, wrong or right, thats how I feel.
