From what I've seen of Tyndall's system, a few things are clear. First, we need a few more athletic, long armed, defensive minded players so we can guard guys when they get hot. Josh can't do it all, and Moore is the only other great guard defender on this team right now.
Second, Tyndall is going to live and die by the zone. The zone killed us against NCST. We should have went to man the entire second half, while still setting up the 2-2-1 trap off scoring plays. The 1-3-1/modified 2-3/match-up zone is fine in the half court until you allow baseline penetration and then you are screw@d. We also go man when the ball goes to the high post, but we keep getting lost off traps and leaving guys wide open. Josh was finally put on Turner, but by then it was to late.
Third, since we are a zone minded team, our team has to do a better job of locating the best shooters/players on the floor. You can't leave the "hot man" wide open off traps.
Finally, Tyndall's system doesn't need great basketball players to be effective. So, what we need to do is start recruiting some pure shooters to help spread the floor, and at the same time, we need to try to land one big time player every year. If we could land a top player who can do it all, along with an athletic defender, a true PG, and a pure shooter, we'd be a much, much better team. A post scorer would be nice as well, but I think Willie has some decent post moves. Willie just needs some basketball touch.
In the end, people need to realize that Tyndall's teams are prone to turnovers, fouls, and bad shooting. An average of his nine previous teams ranks 291 in the country in turnovers/possessions, 47 in offensive rebounds, and 266 in free throws surrendered. His past nine teams also averaged 63 in country in turnovers forced, and 256 in adjusted tempo/possessions per 40 mins. His teams also shoot a lot of FTs as well.
