moser53 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 When your a poor shooting team like UND is you have to devote a large part of your practice time to that. Back in the 80's when Magic Johnson and Michael Cooper played for the Lakers they spent countless hours working on there shooting. They were not good shooters when they came into the league. Both had bad looking shots but they got to be pretty good outside shooters. If UND isn't devoting half of there practice time to improve there shooting they should. It can't get any worse can it?

Magic Johnson and Michael COOPER??? How OLD are you??? Maybe UND should adopt those tight little Larry Bird Shorts??? Couldn't hurt....

sioux2013 Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I counted 11 open layups missed and one point blank dunk missed along with many other close shots. Thats at least 20-26 more points that should have been scored. They are at least more aggressive with the ball and driving to the hole for closer shots. But again they are not making them. Sooner or later that has to come. The zone defense is not working at all. Wide open shots from anywhere the other team wants them. Please go to a swithing man to man. This defense will keep any level of team in the game from Naia to D3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a slam as I'm sure Jones would rather be playing man to man but it isn't hard to see what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
