What is he supposed to do....bench your All-American PG because he wants to take the shot rather than run the play. Different scenario tonight...I don't disagree with not calling the timeout but Monte has to get it to the lane or kick it to Nader or Thomas or Niang for a jumper.
This is so accurate. I'm guessing this is the last time Monte takes a deep shot like that with the game on the line
Not getting the ball enough, we go away from him for way too long. Baylor had no answer for him and we just allow them to take him out of the game for way too long. another coaching failure.
This is actually on Prohm, use your timeout, get Georges the ball. Awful in game coaching. Just awful.
I'm OK with not taking the timeout there. Monte knows what to do in that situation and they were going to set up a play to defend the high ball screen and try to deny Niang from getting the ball if we took a timeout. Monte just made a not great decision
Lots of things to pin on Prohm but don't blame the last seconds of Texas Tech and Baylor on him. Coach designed a play for Georges and Monte didn't run it in Lubbock. Tonight....Monte had no intention on giving up that ball. Have to shift the closer role back to Georges at this point but then who knows....maybe that would cause another player to throw a tantrum.
Like Fred did for UAB? I know we want it in Georges' hand, but they key on him big time, so he doesn't always get the best shot off either. The pick and roll play didn't open up vs. Tech either, even with a TO, and Monte missed a '3' then, too. Coach was giving them the read so it wasn't like he was drawing up a play to ignore Georges. But, yes, we'll need to work on something, because a 1on1 pull up '3' in the closing seconds hasn't been kind to Monte at all.
But that wasn't a '3'. That was a drive to the rim and a defender having to guard tough, with a 12 ft. fade away.
A mid range jumper is not a bad shot for Monte. Fred specifically told him not to settle for a 3 and he drove and got a better shot.
Has it stuck on automatic for about 10 minutes. Doesn't take a shot for last 6+ minutes in game. Lose in OT for the 32654876438757753457th time.
We have one of the best dribble penetrators in the country, and in crunch time he doesnt dribble penetrate when they have a chance to win it on the last shot. Probably the most frustrating part of this season for me. STOP TAKING CONTESTED 30 FOOTERS FOR THE WIN.
Hi, welcome to reality atlantacyclone. This team ain't going to a final four. Will be lucky to make it out of the first round.
