Bender {l Wrote}:Offense has been bad all game they can't seem to get any good shots, maybe that's partially due to Va Tech's D but it seems disorganized.
Chatman has been shooting poorly, I don't what could've happened, maybe it's just a slump but he used to be automatic any time he was left open, and he's missing free throws now.
The athleticism of the Hamilton brothers has been valuable today, they don't seem as outmatched as some of our other bench or role players.
Refs have been pathetic, they've been putting Tech at the line any time someone sneezes in the lane. Not the reason for the loss, but it's not helping to keep it in range.

This. The team has no offensive identity. I've said somewhere before but given the undersized nature of the team, I'd like them to see them play up tempo and use press to create turnovers and transition basketball. This team is a disorganized in the half court set since Bowman is not a true PG.

JC doesn’t like pressing and they don’t have the depth to do it
MilitantEagle {l Wrote}:Christian's in-game coaching is not great, but a reminder of the talent level of the guys who played significant minutes today (based on offers/other schools):
Bowman - Was going to play football at UNC
Chatman - Transfer from BYU
Mitchell - No offers even close to the level of P5. Central Michigan might have been his best offer besides BC.
Jared Hamilton - Transfer from Georgia Southern
Herren - Preferred walk-on recently turned scholarship player.
Jairus Hamilton - Plenty of offers, but underperforming thus far.
Nik Popovic - Don't see any other offers in 247
They appear to be getting 3 decent players next year based on offers and one who is more of a flyer. In 2019-20, even if Bowman leaves, it will be the first year Christian will have a fairly deep roster after a massive rebuild. They will be young, but there will need to be significant improvement. This year is not happening with what they have.

How many guys do you think are needed to press? Nolan Richardson did it at Arkansas with 8-10 players averaging more than 10 minutes a game. Those teams were also often undersized.
With Tabbs healthy they have 5 guards to fill 3 spots: Bowman, Chatman, Tabbs, Herren, Hamilton the older
They have 3 "bigs": Popovic, Mitchell, Hamilton the younger
They could easily steal 10 minutes from Reyes/Kraljevic, expecially if all you were asking of them is to be the last guy back in a press to use their fouls in stopping layups.
But forgot the whole pressing thing. Just because I like it doesn't matter. If Christian doesn't like it, fair enough. I don't like the whole depth argument I keep reading on here though. They have 8 core players (when healthy). Most teams don't give their 9th rotational player big minutes. The coaching on this team is non-existent. That's the bigger problem.

You've watched enough games I assume you realize the fallacy of playing Reyes/Kraljevic at all.
