Epic post.
1. Agree
2. Agree, and we need more than one other scorer. CVL, obviously, but Woods/Nikko can also contribute more. I think even Smith is better than people thought he would be.
3. Agree.
4. Agree.
5. Agree, barring some change in VanLeer's production.
6. Not so sure. Geist is certainly not at TP's level, but I think he will be an adequate backup.
7. Agree that CVL is not being productive, but disagree re movement. He is moving. He is even getting the ball open on the perimeter. For whatever reason, he would rather pass it than shoot. But he was also open in the corner several times yesterday and his teammates didn't get him the ball. After the tourney, coaches will need to evaluate film and figure out exactly what they want to do with CVL.
8. If KA and Shields did not scream "Don't force an early shot, don't force an early shot, don't force an early shot" during the first timeout, they should be fired. If KA and Shields did not scream "Don't foul, don't foul, don't foul" during the second timeout, they should be immediately fired. I'm assuming they did both of these things, and TP was suffering from magical thinking.
9. This absolutely can happen.
10. Big mental test today.
