Yogi was rattled in that game. He was the one who should have sat. Will had his head on straight he should have played majority of the 2nd half.
Jordan may have not been able to shoot but he also didn't make dumbass decisions against the zone. We needed to play with a bigger lineup, putting both out there made it too easy on Cuse's guards who constantly posted ours up. It would also have moved Vic off the baseline where he was ineffective and put him up top more ...
Crean got his ass handed to him because he spazzed and went all "lets run weird stuff" when all he had to do was run the same simple offense most of those players learned in the 7th grade. It isn't what you're running, it's how well you run it. Keep it simple.
Sticking dipo in short corner was a dumb ass move. Having Cody catch in the high post while stationary, and then drive, was a dumbass move. Playing two hobbits against a tall backcourt was a dumbass move. Pulling the most consistent perimeter player we had and replacing him with the least was a dumbass move .. Over emphasizing the opponents defense was a severely dumbass move .. The first rule of zone defense is not to help it by being a spaz as a player, or coach. It's the anti spaz offense.
No, I don't think Jordan not being able to shoot was the reason we lost. It was one reason. More that the coach made so many dumbass moves combined that he eventually offset any advantage we had.
