What must Shaka do different/better?

[BringBackRoyal]

Few things in life must be more comforting than being a decent or better coach locked in a tight game with a Shaka Smart-coached team with 10 to 12 minutes left to play.

Jacking up threes like complete f*cking morons now, despite the fact that (1) we suck at them and (2) KU has struggled most of all with our size in all three games.

So many blown opportunities down the stretch. This team cannot score.

KU wins 65-57.

After four years, Shaka is 66-66.

We always start jacking up 3s out of laziness as opposed to an actual offensive strategy to win the game. I like Shaka from what I observe on a personal level, but it is painful to watch his teams. There is literally no improvement from the beginning of the season to the end of the season.

You know, I really thought that Navy Seal training he makes the players go through would really make a difference. Oh well.

He gone. They should make Perrin pay the extension. What an idiot.

I haven't figured out the offense...I know I'm not alone in this, but practice surely can't be hey lets practice offense and have one guy who couldn't throw the ball in the ocean standing on the beach dribble around while the other 4 guys stand still. And then when the shot clock starts winding down lets throw up an absolute prayer and be mistified when it doesn't work

Respectfully, your post says otherwise. I think you described the "offense" very well.

Would have once said the same for Tony Bennett, but despite putting together regular-season squads that are excellent on offense and outstanding on defense, his postseason results are just beyond disturbing at this point (e.g, first ever to lose a 1/16 game -- and lost it by 20 points). Maybe he finally redeems himself somewhat this year.

Dear God, he's not going to do it again, is he?

UVA currently trails Gardner Webb 26-14 with 7:40 left in the first half.
