Internally

This team seems to have lost having any fun playing. First we have a players only meeting, and losses continue to mount. We were once 11-2 in conference, I believe there are huge problems in the locker room. Thoughts?

Or you built your offense and defense around the 5 and ended up needing to start Furst, and B1G coaches watch film and realized they can run layup drills on you.

Don’t think it’s that at all. Just think this is an incomplete team and B1G coaches are very good.

BBG. Didn’t you have a good recipe to share?

I remember a couple years ago, commentators would talk about how hard our offense was to guard because shooters would always run off screens. Now we continue to just stand and look at the post. This team is stuck in the mud, and I think that is because we only run stuff for 2 players.

Exactly , we have become to reliant on 2 guys ( 3 when Flerch is getting his shots). And we have quit the motion offense that was so successful and that’s on Painter

I love Paint, but I feel this has been his worst year for coaching. Everybody knows what we are trying to do, basically run sets for the big 3, but all teams have figured that out and Paint has done little to get other guys involved. You just can't keep doing the same thing over and over again. Needed to run sets for the young boys, Cox, Harris, should of had more scoring opportunities. Now the Big 3 are exhausted, have no more legs, been run out by the Coach. Post season is here and we didn't get better but a lot worse! When your winning everyone is happy, when things go south players start to wonder about the future!

Something is for sure off.

Order of blame is Painter for poor roster construction.

Second, Braden. Last night is prime example, we are down almost double digits and Michigan is hitting 3s. The only action he is running is for TKR. If he is a pass first PG, he only passes to TKR. There were a couple of plays were he was frustrated and instead of hustling back on defense - he chose to pout.

Third - the coaching staff outside of Brantley.

Totally agree with this. Regarding your first point, this is comparable to laying a flawed foundation before building a structure.

In a year when 5th and 6th year veterans were available in spades, Painter instead chose to fill 4 senior vacancies with 5 true freshmen. We needed help this year, not in 3 years.
