Barnes is a great coach and I make a point to listen to his post game interviews. I learn something almost every time.
After the Kentucky game he talked about not executing to the scouting report when shooting layups. "High off the glass so they can't block it."
Admiral shoots 1000 shots a day to train muscle memory.
Altering easy shots for a particular opponent probably needs to happen earlier, in days, than it is right now. Muscle memory is fighting coaching direction. If the team shoots layups high off the glass from now on, they don't need to know it is for Kentucky (and that their coaches are looking past the next game).
They just need to know they are working to get better.
Folks know a lot more than I do. Does this seem like it would help get the team past Kentucky if they see them again, ever?
