Hello D3hoops, i've been at every one of CNU's home games this year and I really couldn't help myself but to comment of the lack of achievement for the mens basketball team. Is it coaching? Hard to tell due to the lack of effort that cnu shows on the court. I think this stems from coaching, the body language of the players show that they have no respect for the head coach. First off, half of the players on the bench look like they are not happy to be on the team and show no support for the players in the game. Now lets get to the rotation or lack of rotation, CJ needs to find a solid five that will commit to being great. Lets start with the point guards. Paul Going was a good desicion to start off the season, he knew the system ran the plays and didn't make mistakes. Coming off the bench with Parham seemed like a good idea from the start, but then its quite obvious that he is not ready to finish games and run the team. CJ needs to see that he has not been able to win ANY close games this whole season. He plays good when the team needs a spark but has shown he is no where near ready to run the team. Now with the wings, in since CJ doesn't wanna play a traditional 3 man such as thomas whinnett in the past. Josh Russell has proven that he is a good shooter, but sometimes takes illadvised shots and seems to get down when he gets pulled out of the game. Theo Baker is in somewhat in the same situation and seems to perform better off the bench. He is a senior and does a good job playing defense and would like to see him get some more playing time. Conley Taylor has really put the team on his shoulders during a rough spell of the season, but needs to not let bad calls and no foul calls get to his head. With Capin, he showed signs of being a great shooter, but due to other teams being able to scout, he has been shut down. He needs to understand that he is a spot up shooter and THATS IT!! Him trying to handle the ball and make plays actually hurts the team. Mike Green is coming off an all conference season, BUT he has not played within himself this year. He has taken way to many shots this season, not to mention at some points when he is being tripled teamed. I want to be a fan of Green, but he needs to make some adjustments in his game, and know his role. With Hermann, I really like his hustle, I think hes buying into the system, but needs to cut down his turnovers and make better desicions. I like to see him playing the 3, which makes the captains much better at rebounding. Blasingame was a preseason all american who might be one of the best players in CNU history, and I still think he is underachieving. He doesnt look interested and doesnt realize that he is the best player on the team by far. With preston, he needs to work on finishing around the rim, but he does a good job hustling. Lets move on to the Coach.......This is my personal letter to you, please realize who you are playing when it matters at the end of the game. First off, play a PG that will that will make good desicions, bc CNU has lost around 5 that could have really went CNU's way. Other then that he needs to discipline his players, you would think that a coach who has won almost 500 games, would get more respect from his players.
