re: Season is finally over

Let me give a classic Kennedy example. Coming into tonight, Trocha was shooting 27% from 3. So, it's very, very obvious at this point that whatever Nowitski dreams that Trocha is harboring simply aren't realistic. Trocha is not a good 3 point shooter.

And yet, Trocha still seems to have the green light as he shot 3 of them tonight. I can promise you that Trocha 3s are shots that other teams actively hope that we will take because the points/possession payoff is so crappy. And yet Kennedy STILL hasn't reined Trocha in. He seems to be able to take them whenever. It was the same with House last year. He was taking long, contested 3 pointers in game 1, and he was taking long, contested 3 pointers against UNI.

That's not a "wait until he gets his guys" issue, it's simply bad coaching. I could join the team tomorrow and a decent coach could teach me not to take dumbass shots like that in about 90 seconds. Yet here we are, halfway through the season, and Trocha is still taking shots that should be restricted to pick up ball in the Rec.

He's a bad coach, plain and simple. That's why he's made the tournament 1 out of 5 years here and why it's soon going to be 1 out of 6.
