SOFT.   66.1% shooting  2nd half, 61.1% shooting OT, 56.7% shooting game, 73.9% shooting two inside players, 53 rebounds. Refs were bad, but not as bad as our defense. Don't think I would get much argument from the coach on this either.

Stop whining about fouls. Bad defense leads to a lot of fouls. Defense is not played with your hands. There are three things I personally feel you use to be a great defender. First and foremost is Want, you need to make it personal. This guy is not going to make me look bad no matter what. You either Want to play defense or not. Second, you play defense with your feet. Do you think refs are going to give you a call if you are out of position and reach in to try and steal the ball. They know when a guy is being lazy. Hell I here Coach talk about lazy fouls all the time. Third, you have to use that little thing God gave you thats between your ears. You have to be smart. With scouting you practically know everything they are going to do. Anticipate, and beat your man to where he wants to go. These guys are old enough and have played b-ball long enough to know this.If they do not know how to box out or play D then we should not be recruiting them. Defense wins championships.
