Beilein has a loooong way to go as far as being a good in game coach. Bad rotations as in set rotations that he comes with from home, lack of adjustments, poor use of timeouts, and above all bad defensive assignments. There was no reason to have Love guard Hachimura.
Beilein needs to dump his set rotations and ride guys that are hot and also adjust his rotations according to dynamic matchups. I mean come on. Also, Garland gets hot with 8 points and he subs him out. Please...what gives?! Let your struggling player get on track and develop confidence whenever you can.
Garland for more than half the time is like a PG in JV running point setting others up from past mid court just waiting to imitate actions. No, Coach needs to run plays for him and to allow him to create.
As far as Love is concerned, he needs to play with more energy. He doesn't get back on defense, he doesn't help at all off the ball. Despite his stat line I thought that was a very bad game by Love all-around. This team wants to play fast and he gives up easy shots at the rim and doesn't run in transition on both ends.
Sexton missed way too much open players tonight. Just total tunnel vision. Garland, Cedi were open numerous times with their hands up in frustration. Also took too many off rhythm shots.
I liked his defense. Scrappy which is always good against Beal.
TT also gets tunnel vision, especially after he gets a rebound and there ae usually 1-2 guys open from behind the 3pt line. He is effective down low, but he still needs to make that pass.
Kevin Porter with a great game. I loved seeing the PnR action. I want more.
Clarkson improved his vision. Passes more than Sexton. Thought he was good.
