Howland and the Dawgs

[Lord McBuckethead]

Hate to say it but yeah last night did us in. That was a must win. Terrible loss.

Not of you run off 5 or 6 wins in a row. Either way, we once again 17ed ourselves early on games we shoukd have won by 18 and lose cause we cannot
1. Reboubd
2. Break a press
3. Refuse to run a play coming off of a timeout we called
4. Not even getting a shot off.
5. Can't shoot free throws
6. Just allow the other team dictate both ends of the floor for 20 minutes.

Just take a pick. Same thing over and over again.

This is the one consistent knock I have against Howland. We're in Year 6 of this thing and we still look like a Jr. High Girls team trying to break a zone press. Which is odd because our press, the few times we use it, is pretty elite. We consistently get TO's out of it. I just don't understand how you can press as well as we can, yet we have no idea how to break one year after year. And the really sad thing is that none of the presses we face are very good. It just makes me think that Howland never really taught how to break it and once we had Lamar he just relied on him to break everything, which he did more times than not.
