I think this is a symptom of a larger problem...not executing when they DON'T have to. They've been lazy regarding certain aspects of the system all season (screens, for instance). That mindset should be ingrained that the screens need to be set appropriately on every possession of every game (goal, not realistic). Not just when the chips are down. Get in the mindset that you have to do things the right way all of the time and it won't be so hard to do the right things with you HAVE TO.

It isn't always suppose to be a screen when Portis or Clark go up and act like they are setting one then slip away flashing towards the rim. That isn't designed to be a screen set for the guard to use to drive to the basket.

You say, well, if they don't want to do it bench them. Harris has seen a decrease in his minutes, because there are guys at his spot who can be put into the game and play.

Madden can pull his hero routine with no consequences as there isn't a viable option at Guard sitting on the bench. We have two senior guards whose largest contribution to the program will be leaving with a degree, if they don't do that their time here will have been a complete waste. The reason why they got to stay while guys like Nobles got the boot is because of the classroom.

Wagner is serving his purpose in the classroom and practice, yes, you would like for that scholley to be used by a contributor, but at this time the APR has to be improved, graduating players is the only way to improve it at this time, yes it will improve itself as they work towards graduation, but there are still failing scores on the total from Pel's year, they were not as bad as Heath's last year but the situation isn't at a point where you can play musical chairs with the roster, it looks like Mike's team is getting it to where he can give a player the boot after 2 seasons if he doesn't pan out in the future.

3 years to the tourney isn't as feasible as first thought with the firing of Pel, the last class he signed turned out to be more busts than anything, the APR wasn't in good shape, the roster was assembled of the best he could get, not players to fit a certain style, loaded with Guards who were only good at one thing, no front court depth, unbalanced recruiting classes.

Mike has carried over a scholarship to try to balance out the classes, he has been willing to use it on JUCOs/Transfers who will cycle out by 2015 and 2016 as those two classes are full of good players we stand a good shot at getting who we would not have had room for with the way the roster was constructed.

Next year's class includes a PG and combo guard as well as a forward. The class after will include a couple more guards and forwards, etc.
