I noticed that Yves Pons played two minutes last night for the Grizzlies

I posted this in the basketball forum a few weeks ago. I was at my local Target and got in line to check out. I realized that I recognized the guy in front of me, and he was speaking French. I told him that I really enjoyed watching him play at UT. I finished talking to him and his wife as they walked away, and the young female cashier asked me, “ok, what did I miss?”

Pretty Holly is your coach if you want to be 15-20 ranked team. They run zero offensive sets. It showed tonight. They'll never win anything of significance with her as coach.

They truly work hard. They try hard on D and disrupt the passing lanes, only to turn it over or clang a shot. They have nothing for offensive sets. They ran a pointless weave above the circle one time in the first quarter. Stopped and just shot an outside J after it. That was it. lol. No more attempts at even it, much less a normal O.

Horston dribble here, Horston dribble there, turn it over, Key fouls somebody, etc. Throw some 3's up to get lucky. Knock the backboard down with the ball on layups and put backs. Must have missed 15-20 of them. Reasonably good athletes who are clueless basketball players. USCe is probably going to embarrass them.

They do play hard. They play defense at times. I've watched and watched and looked for something that resembles an organized offensive scheme and I can't identify anything. It's as simple as stuff I taught my middle school age girls when I coached. I scratch my head to try and figure out what they work on in practice. I think they must just roll the ball out there and let them scrimmage.

Some posters on here think we are making it up. But I dare anybody to tell me what they are running. It's not even a transition first O. With all of the disciplined sets Pat ran, you would think she could at least pull a couple of those out as a base O and run them. If nothing else walk down the hall and ask Rick. Something. Anything. No iso's, no running off screens with spacing, no reversing the ball, no even old school pick and rolls - which is ridiculous with a tall, physical C standing there.

So frustrating to watch because the players could be developed well and the team benefit.

That's what made Pat great. She was constantly evolving. I once worked for a billionaire entrepreneur. He told me once that we're going to make and sell apples. Whe other people start making and selling apples, we're going to be making and selling oranges. When they catch up.to out oranges, we'll be on to passion fruit. If you're standing still.your backing up.

I remember Pat going to Chicago in the off season to learn the triangle offense that the Bulls were running. She never stopped learning.
