What really would have helped is playing defense such that our opponents did not have some random guy seemingly going off for his career best each game.

This. The first NW game should have been a flashing neon sign that this wasn't the way to approach playing defense.

That being said, do we have the players to play that type of defense? Signs point to no.

He’s competent. I’m just not sold on the idea he’s exceptional, or even well above average.

The numbers Mn posted don't make you question this? The offense you see on the floor does not make you question this? The D he wanted to play when he got here and then tried to use again this year does not make you question this?

Any insight into why we just can't seem to get past the juggernaut that is Penn St. basketball?

He liked you better when he thought you were dead.

its all Skyy Clarks fault, Podz transferred about a week after he committed (guessing there was buzz about him being granted starter minutes having proven nothing)

in hindsight a big mistake

I am guessing Podz and hid dad looked at Melendez, Goode,  Rodgers, and Harris and didn't see a lot of minutes. Also, weren't we recruiting Shannon?

Things change. Goode broke his foot. Melendez injured his shoulder.  Podz improved and would likely have made a difference.

Miller and / or Curbelo? No thanks.

No offense to Podz, but he's not exactly playing Power 5 hoops week in and week out.

It was going to be the USS Nichi, but that is already taken by a 75-year-old garbage scow that inches along the Long Island coast.

The spread offense is something to behold when it clicks. We saw glimpses.

On defense, this team's best ball was actually when they got behind and played pressure defense with traps and jumping the passing the lanes. They just lacked the depth to sustain it.

Bob Knight was an advocate of using pressure defense to create transition offense, when he had the necessary personnel. John Wooden used a full court zone press. The Flying Illini pressed and trapped. Harry Combes was a pioneer of full court pressure defense. (Cue hackneyed ageist comment.)

And it is part of the coach's job to know his personnel and what they can and cannot do when devising schemes, right?

I just thought I would give him a chance to talk some basketball with us, instead of just coming on here and telling us how stupid we are and how shitty this place is.

That is probably why they only pressed when they got behind. Some say they should have pressed more.
