I don't mind some snarkiness. But --- I used the words "enough of."

They've got to be doing something in practice. I've never been to one. As an example though, take the pick & roll. One of the most basic and successful plays in BB. It takes a lot of practice but pays big dividends. I've never seen a Rose coached team use it consistently. They use it here and there, but sparingly. Why not coach it into their brains?

The same thing with having Nate shoot the ball 5 or 6 times a game. He's a senior and has never been force fed moves to help him with his offense. Games go by where he doesn't even take one shot from the floor (although he's done slightly better on that recently). Even if it would have been just 6-8 ppg it could have made a huge difference over the years because it would mean that the other team would actually have to guard him instead of double teaming someone else.

Foul shooting. KC was shooting better last year than he is this year. Rose et al are getting paid big bucks to put guys on the floor who, among other things, can sink a foul shot. It's Rose's job to see that they improve. etc., etc., etc.

BYU basketball is fun to watch when the team is hitting on even 7 out of 8 cylinders but they're frustrating as heck to watch when they played like they did on Saturday. We all know that. This team can and should be better than it is. The coach(es) are the ones that need to answer for it.
