thanks!
actually one more thought. we dont score much in transition.
we dont push the ball either. im not saying we should.
however, i do think that you play transition when you have the
depth and the bodies. which we do have the bodies. so just an
idea, maybe we should try to run teams that play a core 7-8
athletes. we can easily play 11-12 guys and sub in/out. you
dont push the ball when you dont go to the bench, so seize the
opportunity that we can play up-tempo. it might work.

COB. please go on Twitter and tag coach Boals with these
suggestions. He obviously needs some help on the side lines.

I am far from a millennial and I do some social media, Twitter,
strictly for sports, but coaches rarely, if ever respond back
to a fan question or even compliment...

After the game Boals stated "UMass Lowell is a good team..."
After they won, Sagarin rates them at #309. They are not a good
team. It's problematic when a coach says something like that to
shirk responsibility.

A few possessions from last night.
1. Sturdevant in the low post drew a second defender and was
able to hit Yeboah cutting to the basket for a layup (maybe
dunk).
2. MacKenzie drove to the paint, drew a defender and found an
open Olaniyi for a layup.
More of that please.
Also (this was probably already mentioned) but Boals needed to
take a time out on the last possession of the second half.
Cornish looked up at him twice and the entire offense looked
confused.

if those were both very late- yes i saw both, and yes agree that
we need to create offense. otherwise a collection of
below-average shooters taking low % shots will result in every
opponent going into a 23 and letting us kill ourselves. and
when we play a team as small as UML and lose the boards, it's
unmitigated.

I don't know about this, guys. We can't just blow it up and run
a gimmicky lineup out there because of a couple close road
losses. There's no need to reinvent the game at this point. Take
care of the ball and make free throws and we're looking at this
thing through an entirely different lens.

I'm not sure about re-booting the team, but I like Cornish
better at the 2, and would like to see MacKenzie get the start
at PG. With an eye for next year, I'd like to see Olaniyi and
Garcia get 15 min a game the rest of the year. Ochefu too, but
he's third in line at the center position, and Petras deserves
to be the first of the two off the bench.
Despite (I think) losing 4 of the last 5, I still think SB can
compete with any team in the AE and has a "so you're saying
there's a chance" chance against Vermont.
Unrelated, according to verbal commits, SB will have 5 PG's next
year.

Here's my magic formula for saving the season. I'm not asking
for Coach to share any of his lucrative salary with me for these
winning suggestions: :)
1) At end of every practice, when players are tired, each player
shoots 100 FT's. Anyone who doesn't hit 70/100, shoots another
100. Anyone who doesn't shoot 70/10 on this 2nd chance, doesn't
play next game (you think I'm kidding here, guess again). The
point here is to get the kids to shoot them when they're tired
(simulating game conditions), and to force concentration with
the ultimate motive;
2) We reduce our merry-go-round lineups to 8 players, unless we
get into foul trouble (which is another problem with this team -
need to move our feet better). Here is your 8-man rotation - i
don't care who starts over who:
PLAYERS: Cornish, Iroegbu, Sekunda, Petras, Sturdivant, Yeboah,
Saintel, and Olaniyi. With Sekunda out, I'll promote Almonacy
to the top 8.
BENCH: Almonacy, McKenzie, Garcia, Long, Ochefu, O'Donohoe (sp?)
3) We go to a Zone defense primarily, and encourage teams to
beat us from outside behind the arc, since we're struggling with
our man-to-man, and defensive rebounding;
4) We get more creative on offense, driving to the hole more,
pulling up and dishing inside the paint, and running some pick
and rolls;
5) We restrict 3-point attempts to the following players only:
Yeboah, Cornish, Iroegbu, and Sekunda, unless it's an
end-of-half desperation attempt. No one else allowed to shoot
3's, or you find yourself on the bench;
6) We make every effort to use our Time-Outs in critical
situations, with designed plays coming out of these TO's;
7) We get Jameel Warney to sign legal documentation that binds
any future male offspring of his to a Seawolves uniform in the
future;
OK, so there's my blueprint. Let's get back on track Seawolves!
