I don’t pretend to understand anything about coaching basketball. I do know that last year, we had what many said was our most talented team in decades.
But after a really nice start, it didn’t show on the court. To my untrained eye, we seemed to regress as the season wore on. Mental mistakes, inexplicable lapses in focus, and defensive effort way too often lacking any sort of “want-to.”
Serious question: Why was the 2020-21 season so different from the 2021-22 season, and what has changed to make us think that 2022-23 will revert back to two years ago? The player turnover has been heavy, and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad one.
I’d like to think of myself as a realistic, if biased, observer….neither a sunshine pumper nor an Eeyore. This is a sincere question, born of freely-acknowledged ignorance.
Anybody more knowledgeable out there? I’d truly appreciate some education here.
