What is wrong with my team? Why is their absolutely no offensive production? The last 3 games in the first half my team went 14,12,17 pts in the first half of the last 3 games, and shot teriible. Cannot find the basket, on the other hand, no defense as well. I can see why we dont play defense. Low DEF rating. buy why no offense? WTF?

yeah, i cant figure it out my self. Thats why i posted to get a second opinion.

You can put Mcmillan at SF, Waters at 2 and leave the rest of the lineup the same. Also split some of the distribution out at bit or play slowdown with the triangle. McMillan on the wing would be deadly with his high ath, speed and perimeter. Do you have Mcmillan at a +1 or +2 if you have it at a +2 cut it down to a +1.

Right now put +1 on mcmillan but play him at the 3 for a few games to see what happens. If his 3pt shooting continues to struggle then take him from a +1 to a -1 or -2.

okay I apreciate that. Does the promise starts and minutes go away when the conf tourney starts? Mcmillian has been @ 0 the whole time by the way. I will try that lineup in the tourney if the start and minutes promised does not matter at that point.

my current starting SF and PF have promised starts.

You have four freshmen playing significant time, with two of them starting. That's the biggest problem right there. They've also got poor stamina and you're running a fcp.

And the fact that you've got two guys starting and playing 15 mpg makes me think that you are subbing by target minutes rather than fatigue, which will make your team play all-around worse. (If I'm right you're obviously doing that so that you don't have to play the freshmen starters 20/25 mins, which I get, but you're still hurting your team overall.)

Also, with a very young team that's struggling (and also has weak rebounding), I think you should've been running slowdown.

Okay. Thanks for looking. I am subing by fatigue. I just have them at Fairly Fresh. I was mainly runningn up tempo, but I have also ran slow down, and normal just to see what I can do. All the same results. Thats the reason why I posted to figure out why. I guess I'm not really looking at the freshman part and being you. Thanks for helping though.

Does the promise starts and minutes not matter when conference tourney starts?

Correct

Well jagged this is the time to work running the slowdown offense so you dont get tired out completely from running a press D get on a little winning streak heading into CT and possibly win that CT.
