Minutes: BHH and Powell

[BigOrangeFanatic]

There’s no reason Bailey should be taking that shot with Powell sitting on the bench. Indefensible coaching.

Straight up truth right there.

Barnes seems to value experience and Defense over Offense. The problem is our scoring droughts are what causes us to lose games. We have too many players on the floor that can’t score.

Hes ALWAYS been of that philosophy. He'll NEVER change or value scoring MORE than defense. NEVER! Which is sad because thd game now is all about scoring, scoring and scoring more. His time has come and gone.

 

[zjcvols]

The coaching resulted in a wide open look.

And it went to our worst rotational player, so it wasn’t good.

 

[LibertyVol]

Bailey is terrible. Two years ago he was good. What happened ?[/QUOTE
Well the good news is he won’t see the floor for the rest of the year.

 

[Eastknox865]

Our 7 footer needs to find some toughness when he has the ball. At 7 feet you don't try lay ups under the basket

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

And it went to our worst rotational player, so it wasn’t good.

It was a career 35% 3-point shooter that is an upperclassman in a hostile environment, on the road, in a high pressure situation. TN was well positioned to win.

Given Barnes’s insistence on playing him, I have no reason to think that Bailey won’t be seeing the floor @LibertyVol

Please tell me what Bailey’s conference 3P shooting is and how he is shooting this year

A 35% career shooter gets a wide open look. Can’t set it up much better than that.

The only reason he was playing tonight was Chandler was out. He did not play hardly at all against Arizona. I can see why.

Yes you can. When it’s your worst player in your rotation and he’s shooting 23% from the floor this year

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Please tell me what Bailey’s conference 3P shooting is and how he is shooting this year

This year Bailey was 4 missed shots from being a 33.3% 3-point shooter this season. It’s a small sample size.

This loss is on Barnes. We played with house money, but he had some highly questionable rotation management the entire 2nd half and we made 3 field goals the final 11:29 of the game. We had a 6 point lead and three straight possessions to try and extended it and we had an awful lineup on the court and Barnes waited till the lead was cut to 1 to call timeout and change the rotation. The Tide never looked back after that.

I just can’t defend Barnes anymore for his lack of faith in Powell or BHH. I refuse to accept “defense” as a legitimate answer considering the alternative is Victor Bailey.

Who is the better shooter - Powell or Bailey?

And he barely drew iron.

Yes, but he missed those shots. That’s not how numbers work. He is also 4 missed shots away from being less than 20% on the season. See how that works? You can’t change stats to fit your narrative. It’s a number.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

Powell with or without his illness?

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

And he barely drew iron.

It bounced off to the left. Barely drawing iron equates to just grazing the rim.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Powell with or without his illness?

I think the only circumstance where I would take Bailey for that final shot is if both of Powell’s arms fell off during the U4 timeout, and I mean both because I would feel more confident in a one-handed Powell than Bailey.

35% career 3-point shooter suggests that he’s not a 20% shooter. See how sample sizes work?

 

[LibertyVol]

I have been giving Barnes the benefit of the doubt. He is just not a good coach. However, I am not for changing. Tennessee could do a lot worse. At least Tennessee usually makes the NCAAs.

Hyperbole much?

I know how sample sizes work. But, you can’t use a career FG% as a crutch. This isn’t gambling. Bailey is shooting barely over 20% from the field this season, which is far more indicative of what the likely outcome of that last shot will be and NOT the career percentage.

it was a bad miss. It was not even close. Can we agree on that. Powell would make that shot.
