Fouls are killing us. Better learn how not to foul when playing defense. Playing small is killing us. I will be wearing green in a sea of blue Friday night.

Can you get it. BD's offense doesn't create a lot of fouls on the defense and his man to man does create more fouls on us. This problem isn't new it has been there since he ha taken over. Don't expect it to change or for us to change.

Fouls are killing us. Better learn how not to foul when playing defense. Playing small is killing us. I will be wearing green in a sea of blue Friday night. The NCAA changed the rules this off season to shorten the shot clock and they put an emphasis on calling hand checking. They want to increase scoring. Donlon's aggressive man to man defense doesn't work with the way they are calling games. Other teams are driving it to the basket and picking up easy fouls against us. We are stuck in our chuck up a 3 offense. the results have been 52 fouls called on us vs 27 for the other teams in the last 2 games. We were outscored at the line 45 to 12. Donlon is stuck in his ways and it is going to lead to him losing his job if he doesn't get with the times.

The learning curve for Donlon on virtually all fronts since he has been here is nearly zilch.

This is the last year for Donlon. This team is loaded with talent and we are going to go through another year of this way of playing basketball. I hope we don't have any defections next year.

Scary stat in that article - we shot 22-44 from 3pt range and lost 2 games. We are used to living and dying by the 3. In this case we shot great and still lost. If we don't make some changes we are going to really be in trouble on nights we can't shoot.
