Powell and barnes

[Hbg]

I haven’t the faintest clue how dude can avg 10 at auburn, transfer to tn and barely see the floor, any answers? Same player, diff coaches?

 

[05_never_again]

Barnes would rather prove a point than win a game.

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

80 year old coach, coaching like its the 70s. Hes gotta have that kid scared shitless to shoot. Gotta feeling its a different atmosphere playing for Butch than Barnes......way different.

Some defensive breakdowns but man, its time to stop berating this guy and let him play

 

[LibertyVol]

You would think they could run some sets and get Powell some good looks. If he gets a
good look it is an accident.

 

[BP4Prez]

Has to be regretting that transfer. He’s non-existent in this offense.

 

[livefaith]

We need him to be a go to scorer. Has an agressiveness and confidence to his O game that some others don't. Should be 4 not he's above Bailey atp.

Our offense literally should be KC and ZZ penetrating either one on one, because no one can stay in front of those guys, or off of some high screen action from Fulky/ON/Uros. Once we get inside they can (1) score, (2) pass to a big man (catchable ball though), or (3) pass back out to a shooter. We have to find a way to get the ball inside and play inside out to have any chance at success. We don’t move the ball well at all though. Even when we do pass the passes are often not good so the receiver can’t immediately shoot or pass to the next player.

He needs to get a hardship waiver and bd allowed to leave.

vescovi, our best player, isn’t in your starting 5?

Bruce is incredible at getting 3 point shooters good shots.

Oh Butch.

Eh? Where you getting that? I was saying one of our two PGs need to penetrate, possibly with high screen action from one of our 4s/5s. I said nothing of any 2s or 3s.

 

[turbovol]

We get good shots--we just don't make them. And tonight the big problem was defense--we gave up nearly 80 points. Bad night, defensively.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

I’m sorry. I read your post wrong.

Bruce let’s players play. Barnes puts the fear of God in them and if they make a mistake on defense or miss a shot, unless their name is Josiah, he pulls them to the bench. Barnes completely ruins player confidence

Plays like the others are playing. (like zombies)

 

[JoAllan]

Why folks think Powell can/will be the savior?

10 minutes he shot the ball 1 time………did NOTHING else except turn the ball over.

If your not going to do anything and you can’t play D…….shouldn’t we be fine with you sitting the bench?

Hey I know the guy “can” score……so can others…..but seriously if he ain’t going to????

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Makes total sense to bring somebody off the bench that hardly contributed.

He’s scared to take shots and his defense has been pretty poor so far.

He’s a good spot up shooter but he’s not great at creating his own shot. Since we aren’t very good at moving the ball it makes sense that Powell isn’t having much impact. He should though. We just play offense like a bunch of individuals rather than a cohesive unit.

It's amazing that so many of them keep coming back to that well, then. You'd have thought that the idea of Barnes as the Boogeyman would have gotten around in recruiting circles.

 

[UneducatedGuess]

Powell is afraid to shoot. Until he takes open shots, he won’t play.

He’s certainly not expected to do much more than bring energy and shoot the dang ball.

Barnes is begging the boy to shoot. Y’all must be football forum

You do know Barnes tried to run off Schofield. We have also watched other players regress in their careers. I think it really depends on their personality. Schofield was a type A and could handle Barnes constant criticism which only made him better. Other players, not so much. I just wish Barnes would let players play loosely and not get them so uptight for making mistakes. This team looked great early season when they were playing loose, and now they look like they play scared. It’s Barnes MO

That’s an insult to the football forum

I don't disagree. He's a hard coach to play for, but kids still line up to do it. I do wish he gave kids a longer leash. Some kids want to be coached hard. Those who don't will transfer out but why did they commit to begin with? Barnes doesn't hide who he is on the floor.

Actually he's apparently expected to be an absolute defensive stopper or he won't see much time on the floor. I'd imagine his lack of shooting is him trying to concentrate his energy there so he can see the floor.
