Trivia Question: Spot what's wrong with this team or offer an explanation for why it's doing so poorly (I already figured out what it is):

You've been great from 3

Your guards blow some serious dick.

Both are wrong answers.

Well I'm not wrong, your guards are awful. I'm not sure why a coach of your caliber recruited guards who can't pass, score, or play defense.

I have always recruited this way for Drew.

You've had very good athletes there in the past, and these guys aren't very good athletes. You asked why you were struggling and it's because your players just aren't very good, if there's another reason, please elaborate.

Once people click on the stats page, it will be crystal clear.

Roderick Zinzow (with a huge amount of distro) got hurt in game 2, so I put him for "mop up" only in depth chart and forgot to change it, even after he got back to 100%. The result was sumerisky playing 30+ mpg at SF, getting tired every game, and putting up bricks. 

I finally realized this after Sumeriski just went 4/16 (on 8 distro, out of 100) that something in my game plan must be wrong. Then I saw Zinzow has been sitting on the bench for 8 straight games, losing WE. 

This is the danger of playing in an all sim conf. I simply don't game plan or change anything until CT, so this kind of things fly under the radar. One of the bigger oops moment I have had playing WIS. 

Ah, I thought this was going to be more of a discussion on the philosophy of team building, not a "Look at me, I'm an idiot" type of post.

I tried to find the last "look at me I'm an idiot" kind of thread from a few months ago, couldn't do it, so I started a new one.
