You're not going to shoot well when you're confused by a coach who has PROVEN she has no clue regarding execution in the half court particularly against an active zone. If we can't rebound and run, or force turnovers then we struggle because we're too heavily dependent on the transition game to score.
It's been that way the entire seven years -- different players, different assistants, same head coach. The writing is on the wall and has been for several seasons. If anyone thinks Travis Mays would rather be a HC in a no-win situation at SMU than to be AHC at his alma mater they're kidding themselves. She doesn't listen to her assistants, she constantly gripes at them, and she runs the good ones off. I truly believe she's threatened by anyone with more actual COACHING knowledge or who the players relate to better than her.
Her entire persona wreaks of negative energy... And it shows in her program on several levels from the players, to the staff, to the way she engages (or doesn't rather) opposing coaches during traditional post-game hand shakes. All one has to do is sit back and pay attention.
We need to snap out of the whole cognitive dissonance. She's not the answer... and not ever GOING to be. The question is how far CdC is willing to let things slide towards the crapper before doing something about it. Hopefully he won't allow it to go too close to the edge or even all the way into it, because there's not only Baylor to be concerned with but other very well-coached teams in the Big 12... and then there's a couple on the rise if anyone's really paying attention. We could easily be leap-frogged into a perrenial middle-of-the-pack team in the Big 12 if a prompt change isn't made. Time is of the essence.
