The coach.

Low Post? 2-3? Unnecessary and ill-advised.

That aside, an unfortunate end to a truly marvellous campaign. Congrats on the achievements, which tonight's cock up does not detract from more than a very little bit. Truly, it's been an excellent adventure.

No it was not morwoods advice. If there was anything I would have changed about tonights game it would have been not going with the blank roster. I'm not sure the LP really hurt us or helped us at all and I do think the 2-3 did its job just fine, we just didn't have enough of the right players on the court. All in all I thought it was an admirable effort, as it was a close game until the the fouling at the end, and we had a 45% or so max chance of winning no matter what tactics we ran(assuming equal effort).

Edit: Say your goodbyes to all of this seasons 21 year olds as I'll be starting scouting later this week and next week we'll be scrimmaging against Canada with U20 teams.

Edit: Putting the ratings/tactics we received in the game into the simulator we should have won a little over 70% of the matchups, but unfortunately we got one of those 30% ones :(

I think you mean backhanded compliment.
No, I was trying to balance saying what a great season it has been while expressing my displeasure and irritation with using a slow-paced offence against a team like the Czechs, who have a philosophy that means lots if secondaries and OD on court. Low Post resulted in too many end of shot clock attempts from players who couldn't make this shots. Shooting 0-18 from the three point line is why we lost.
Keep the tactics simple in that game, you win 9 out of 10 at home.
The Czechs, however, looked a decent unit and were certainly good enough to make the most of the opportunity we gave them by going Low Post instead of LI. The 2-3, I'm less bothered about, as it can be effective. I don't understand the LP call at all.

It looks like the 2-3 worked pretty well considering. Perhaps based on previous games we could have expected our offensive flow to have been higher than the Czechs which would have been more conducive to low-post, but the Blank Line-Up obviously had ideas of it's own. :D


Overall it's been a great season. Are you running for another 2 years eminence?

Not sure quite yet, I'm debating whether I want to stay on as U21 coach or try to make a move to the NT. We'll see. It'll depend partly on if any qualified canidates step up and say they'd be interested in the U21 job.
