Oh, for a three

[Jim Hill]

Well it certainly makes respect for Coach K's basketball intelligence drop a
bit.  Of course, the lack of ability of the players to defend the
pick-n-roll is pretty embarrassing to them individually.

Makes you wonder if the US team brain trust was in charge of the Celtics.
They get to pick from the entire NBA roster and can't field a winning team.
Imagine if they had to build through the draft and talking FA's to play in
the cold weather ... .

*********************
Once again, bad roster construction. But what about Coach K? You sit
there and watch your team get beaten on the pick and roll over and over
and over and never consider switching to a zone?

Everyone involved with USA basketball assumes these other teams are
going to faint in the face of pressure defense applied by our superior
athletes. It doesn't work that way against the good teams.

I wonder if they're ever going to learn.
