bad derrick

[PGsHeroes32]

Ggood lord derrick.

[PGsHeroes32]

This is bad.

About to get F'ing destroyed

[LloydsLegs]

I'd like to see Sandy get a look and take a 3.  Or 2.

[mu_hilltopper]

Admittedly I've never played, nor had seats near a coach .. and this is one of the first seasons where TV has broadcast in-the-huddle conversations ..

.. Every time they let us listen to Wojo, it seems like he's just full of platitudes.  "We can't let our emotions go up and down, blah blah" was right now.  But I've heard him a few other times, and it's "we gotta play hard and try harder for rebounds"  "we gotta fight for the ball more" ..

Is that how huddles usually go?  I guess I was thinking it'd be more about strategy, like _how_ to get the rebound, not just a pep talk.  

I mean, I get that some times you need to give a pep talk, but through this season, I've never heard anything but that from Wojo.   ???

[LloydsLegs]

no complaint with that shot by sandy

[Milwarriorkee]

If 12 & 10 didn't play another minute this season I would be more than fine with that.

[PGsHeroes32]

And of course sandy has two down and outs while their white boy rains.

Never seen a team with worse luck

[GooooMarquette]

Bad stretch by Derrick and Steve.  Sandy's shots are sooooo close.

Hard to teach in 2 mins in the huddle. Most of that is pregame and halftime

Had the exact same thought; I assume/hope that when the moment calls for x's nd O's (inbounds play; change up of ahow to ttack an unexpected defense), he does it, but they have not shown that at all

Derrick was the defender twice on him. Guy can shoot elitely......

[eg021]

Our best offense has come in transition. Gotta run when we can. Half court sets have been bad to say the least.

I noticed this too. I played for a number of coaches in high school and AAU and usually pep talks were reserved for the locker room. Huddles would be more x & o's and adjustments

did anyone else notice how he was only looking at JjJ in the huddle?  Like he's the only one who needs to be told anything?  Damn that WoJo!

[PGsHeroes32]

Another stupid derrick play and leads to and 1.

[GooooMarquette]

Sandy missed the baseline double on Stainbrook....

[LloydsLegs]

ended I think an 18-3 run?

Valid point, I think it's just too small of a sample size to know for sure how Wojo's huddles go.  I'm sure it's just part of the coaching learning curve: how to come up with something in every single huddle.  To Wojo's credit, he drew up a great in-bounds play that got Sandy a wide open look, just didn't knock it down.

[Lighthouse 84]

I was just thinking Du needs to get involved.

[GooooMarquette]

At least Derrick still playing D.

[brewcity77]

19-3...was 16-5.

[Wojo'sMojo]

At least Derrick still playing D.

Lol and elite D at that!!!!!

[LloydsLegs]

just how I would haave drawn it up; Derrick dribbling until we need a bail out 3 from...Juuannn!!!!
