Re: 2016-2017 Kentucky Wesleyan basketball thread.
KWC dominated conference play this past season, especially offensively. Their average spread in conference was just over +20 ppg.
They were not dead last in every 3 point field goal statistic either. One reason why they did not shoot a lot of threes was due to the style of defense they played. They got out fast in transition and scored off steals.
Last year's team was not terrific rebounding the ball on defense. That will need to change starting this Fall. We can question everything that a coach does, but it will do us no good.
If you are a baseball coach and you have a senior pitcher on the mound in the 7th inning with a one run lead, do you leave him in or take him out after 90 pitches when you know as a coach that he is the Most Valuable Pitcher on the team? Sometimes, teams lose because the other team is better.
You have to play to your strengths as a coach. Not every shooter is like Ken-Jah Bosley who plays and shoots better in the big games.
I like man to man defense, and playing it as tough as possible. I also don't like the 3 point shot. It makes no sense, and James Naismith would agree with me.
