Lack Of Progress

["Matthew J. Gill" <M.J.Gill@uea.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I think that its fine to have Pitino spend all his time teaching the team 
defense, after all "Defense wins championships", however from reading the 
game reports (I can't watch the game in England) it seems he is being 
harsh on the players who make mistakes on offense, particularly Billups.  
If Pitino is not going to spend time installing an offense it seems 
unreasonable to punish players for making mistakes in what ever offense 
he wants them to play.

Also on the subject of half court defense, surely this should have been 
taught to the players before the pressing system so they have something 
to fall back on.

Mat Gill.
