5 things I'd love the Vols to do Wed. night

i see other teams, not SEC teams, that are in perpetual motion on offense - they get an open look with 15-20 seconds left on the shot clock - our offense begins to move at 10 seconds left

I agree with Mattlock, if we go to the freethrow line it's a turnover and if you pump fake on the perimeter they won't buy because you have to make a shot from there first!

How about a # 6) When playing man-on-man defense, overplay to an opponet's strong hand by a half step and force him to go around you only with his off hand. This is how opponets have learned to defend Prince. They first of all give him any shot from beyond the foul line and then they over play his left hand. These are FUNDAMENTAL tactics in man to man defense.

That will coach!

Here is a strategy I would like to see played out:

Chism takes the ball on the perimeter and shoots a 3 and (surprise)misses.
Pearl immmediately calls timeout when the first chance arrises.
The team huddles, and Pearl kicks Chism in the groin and lets him know that will happen each time he tries for a 3 point shot.
Chism plays tough underneath the basket if but nothing else but to keep from getting kicked.
The team has a force underneath, and maybe we learn that basketball is not just a perimeter game.

That's what I would like to see for the rest of the season.

I'm not thinking about the SEC East Championship or NCAA bid right now. These are 5 things I'll be looking to see the Vols do Wed. night:

1) Box Out. Shot goes up, get in between your man and the basket, drive your backside into his waist and push him back. I don't care if the ball bounces over your head. I just want to see someone create some interior space on a rebound attempt. Especially on a free throw attempt.

2) Set a Screen and Rub off the Screen. Establish position. Broaden your shoulders and hold your ground -- no need to lean in or move. The guy coming off the screen has the responsibility of rubbing his man off the screen by moving closely around the screener.

3) Move crisply without the ball on offense. Every second that you stand around on offense is an opportunity for the man guarding you to catch his breath. Jogging from the baseline to the wing doesn't cut it. Cuts should be crisp and frequent.

4) Pump Fake (and Perhaps Draw a Foul). Not just when you get the ball down low, but on the perimeter too, or even while cutting without the ball or making a pass to the interior. Make the other guy work.

5) Talk on Defense. Constantly, if need be. Call out screens and switches. Make sure men are covered on a fast break. Help out when a man gets beat.

I don't understand why we are such a good offensive rebounding team but not so much with our defensive rebounds.
