He was dead serious. He thought he was dealing with an audience naive and uninformed enough to find his camp experience impressive.

very true. my hs coach wouldn't let us play with anyone but our hs team. the problem was that some of our better players played baseball, or football so they couldn't play which ended up giving us a half ass team. we had 3 good players, that's it. we were going against teams that had 8 or 9 good players. it was a waste of time.

I know what you mean. At the upper levels of AAU ball, you better have a bunch of players. We had a team with 12 guys who signed at D-I schools and were still not as talented as a bunch of the teams at, for example, the summer tournaments in Las Vegas. DC Assault, Atlanta Celtics, et al put teams on the floor that you could win a national championship with if you kept them intact for college.

Lol at all this. Say what u want. Not getting an internet fight. Coached aau 10 yrs qand 15 high school. Camps are just like anything else, you get out of it what u put into it. I think cbp is a great coach and motivator that is ha?ing a very rough year. No one else has ever had one huh

0 natl champioships b4 u ask. Made final 4 once in aau and top 10 3 times as well 4 2nd in bci tourney with girls about 10 yrs ago in lubbock. 8 state championships in high school. I was saying I chose not ti coach because for me college ball was wrong place wrong time each time I had opportunity and now I chose to just coach my kids. Coaching was not a full time job for me fyi, it was not the way I made my living. If I had it to do over again I have to admit I wouldve taken an opp I had when I was 23, 14 years ago

Laughable hat. I have forgotten more about bball it seems than u will ever know. I have coached over 40 girls that played d1 including 3 at UT and 15 guys atleast that moved on including 1 current player at an ivy league school. Anyway, people that do not realize how inexperienced this team truly is vs last yrs team crack me up. Plus dinging cbp is moronic if u can't see he is having to change philosophies this year due to the team chemistry b4 and now during the season. We are taking lumps for sure and have had some horrific losses but I think cbp is more qualified than any on this board to fix it

UT has the talent, they need to just play some defense, stop jacking up 3's from way downtown, and play as a team and they could be pretty darn good

The jacking up unnecessary 3s far too often stems further than you know and isn't really an easy fix (at least for our coaching staff right now). It's about laziness in the half court and our flex offense is just terrible. We stand around and pass the ball along the 3-point line and eventually shoot a 3 because the shot clock gets low and they realize they've wasted all their time.

And we're not just going to magically learn to play defense if we aren't playing defense now.

Playing as a team isn't a problem. We're just bad in our half court set so it may seem that way.

The "I know more than you do" thing, never works on the net.

The flex O is very far from a horrible offense. The lack of a true 3 pt shooter hurts us in the half court. And the lack of a TRUE big man in the paint hurts as well. Say what you will but Chism is not a true big neither is Tyler as you see both of them out of the lane more times than not.
This year the team simply is not running the offense well and the flex is not the greatest against a zone if not run perfectly. Personally I do not like it vs a zone, much better vs a man and these guys for the most part are too young to run it right vs a zone. We do not have the patience combined with ball movement right now...may not at all this season.

the flex is something that is run in most Jr. High programs, and even some jr. pro leagues. its very easy to guard. look bruce is obviously not coaching them on D, it's been pretty obvious all year. they are def. not disciplined on D, or O for that matter. but we have a hell of a D when it comes to the other team inbounding the ball, i'll give him credit there

it's not easy to guard if varied and executed well.

none are if you pick well, set up picks well by v cutting hard, pass crisply and make the shots when they're given.

We currently half-ass through everything we run, so guarding us doesn't even require switches.

exactly, if you bust your ass getting from point A to point B, and are fundamentally sound then it'll work. we don't do the first, and def. aren't fundamental. you know what kind of offense that would absolutely kill TN if they played a team that ran it well? The princeton. TN can't guard, there wld be back door layups all day long. That's an offense where you have to be fundamentally sound
