I've attended probably 50 oF Cal's practices over the years. The next time he advocates jacking around for 25 seconds, then having guys look to him for a bailout playcall will be the first. Your word means squat to me.lol ok...I guess I just pulled that one out of my ass. I attended calapari's coaching clinic this year in october and have nearly 25 pages on his offensive philisophy and I will stand by my word.

I forgot more basketball waiting for the page to load than you know. People wonder why I use the ignore option so often. You're a perfect example of why. Now, run off to another clinic. It's obvious you're in dire need.
What Bradshaw meant to say was:
When CBP puts us in the Flex, he is basically giving the players 15-20 seconds to throw up a brick or turn the ball over on their own. Then, if that doesn't happen, he is shocked and confused and then decides to yell at whoever has the ball at the time to hurry up and shoot. He'd prefer our guys to actually score in the Flex so he wouldn't have to do any coaching, but it looks like they are just moving the ball around the perimeter waiting for his coaching... Which never comes.

yea, I was surprised by that answer too. (I was the caller that asked the OQ)
But, it makes sense now, no wonder why they look like deer in headlights sometimes. They just waste half the shot clock passing the ball around being timid looking for the defense to make mistakes as opposed to forcing the defense to make mistakes by being aggressive and driving the ball. Someone needs to step up and make a play by penetrating... so that means....
A) Prince, DON'T ever shoot the ball. If you take a shot, your hands should be touching the rim milliseconds after letting go of the ball.... MOVE W/O THE BALL
B) Maze, you're the POINT guard, NOT the SHOOTING guard, so... create shots via driving and making a basket or by dishing to someone down low or dish it outside to McBee/Hopson/Tatum while drawing defenders through penetration. You taking shots, IMO is a wasted possession, youÂ’re not supposed to take shots unless itÂ’s a broken play. YouÂ’re job is to create shots 1st and take them..................... last.
Guys, hereÂ’s the real problem with this team. You have too many guys that arenÂ’t hungry. TheyÂ’re fat and happy and it shows. You know thereÂ’s a problem with the team when the hungriest player on the team is, yep, you guess it, McBee, a walk on freshman SG. This is 100% on Pearl. He needs to motivate these seniors, but heÂ’s been around them forever and maybe he needs to take a different approach, because whatever heÂ’s doing now, isnÂ’t working. ItÂ’s like heÂ’s afraid to hurt their feelings with what he might say/do to motivate them. ItÂ’s obvious Tyler has somehow taken a step back from last year. A lack of motivation is the only explanation for this. It just doesnÂ’t make sense that a senior/veteran laden team is performing so poorly together.
Passion... Poise... Purpose... Poise maybe, but I don't see and Passion or Purpose out of these guys and that's a big problem.
The secondary break has nothing to do with the silliness that Bradshaw described.
The crap he described has a default to standing around in starting positions until a play is called. Our play proves it.
See all you are trying do is belittle the topic at hand by saying jacking around for 25 seconds. So you are saying that coach cal calls a set play as soon as the team crosses half court? He never lets them flow into the dribble drive and then calls a set out of it later in the clock? if you are saying that then this is very simple you are wrong. Please research the secondary break and see how many coaches run it. You will find many more than not.
The dribble drive is not a secondary break; I'm afraid you're losing this argument terribly. The dribble drive is the primary offense. We don't have a primary offense. We BS for 25 seconds and go into a set play. That is nothing like what UK does.
if you will ease back earlier in the discussion you will see I say secondary or primary/base offense and If you are not aware that tennessee's primary offense is the flex then you should try watching a game.
Most teams have a base offense. It may be the dribble drive, 4 out or 1 in, flex etc. Alot of teams call it a secondary break.
lol seriously? There is absolutely nothing wrong with that philosiphy..in fact it is very common in college basketball. Most teams have a base offense. It may be the dribble drive, 4 out or 1 in, flex etc. Alot of teams call it a secondary break. If you are an up tempo team you don't want to slow the ball down and wait for the call from the bench. Everyone on the floor knows that if we don't have anything in transition we immediately flow into our secondary OR base offense. If nothing is created we can call a set for a quick hitter late in the shot clock.
This is what I was referring to. A base offense is not a secondary break. And I watch a lot of basketball both high school and college, and I haven't seen anyone run a halfcourt offense that runs a playcall every time down the floor that about 50% of the time ends up being a desperation three.
Sometimes the chatter on these forums get so crazy it is embarrassing. All this complaining about Bruce Pearl is ridiculous. Check his record. Who else would have come here and accomplished what he has?
Is he perfect? Probably not, but it is amazing the harsh things being said, not just after the arrest, but for some time, about a man who has done so much for our BB program.
He has created more excitement about BB at UT than anyone, even including Coach Mears, who was a great promoter.
