[Gridiron_Raid]

I found myself counting 3s because of Gridiron's comments about needing 20 every game.
I've seen Bell a lot and it seemed they had a lot of success by penetrating and kicking out for wide open shots. They weren't open that often last night.

You know better than anyone, you have to draw things up to get what you want against good teams. I watched Jones draw up 5 or 6 sets that were mind blowing just to get maddox that ball in the district championship game with a little bit of space, and in his spot. Yes every so often he can catch it 40 feet away and go to work, but if he can catch the ball on the wing with space to work and a defender coming off 3 screens, he is in a lot better position to score and terrorize teams.

Last night, it was the same motion sets that resulted in nothing but a drive by burnett or buell off a ball screen. So simplistic, YET SO IGNORANT. WHY CHALLENGE MABE??? I’m guessing maybe they thought in both games if mabe gets in foul trouble they can exploit him changing his interior defense, but why not draw up actions to get shooters open. You know Mabe is on burnett, why not utilize hall as a pure shooter? Why not utilize thomas as a shooter? Why not use burnett as a decoy? 

Everyone can say “South did a great job at defending the 3” and they did. But how hard is it to guard actions with no purpose? In the first 28 minutes, ONE ACTION WAS RAN WITH THE PURPOSE OF GETTING A SHOOTER A GOOD LOOK. That would be like saying “Maddox we’re going to use you as a post up big man on mabe instead of doing what works” And “mabe we are going to get yo open shots on the perimeter forget about the paint”
