Nailed it.
I watched a couple games from last year, we had so many alley-oops before. Guys driving and then Boucher, Bell, or someone else running the baseline for the oop. Also bunch of nice pick and rolls. And because all our bigs could stretch to the 3-point line, the lane was open a lot more.

I think it has more to do with lacking the pieces to do what we did last year, and less to do with poor play calling.

This. Our D was on point last night (granted it was Cal though).

Absolutely. Not blaming Coach A. Hence my stating I can’t wait for next years class. Hopefully they are able to bring a more exciting brand of hoops.

Coach A will be to blame if he keeps starting E. Brown.

uh...no he's not. Even in games we win he's usually has a negative +/-

Gotta agree with Phenom. I pretty much go in to panic mode every time EB touches the ball. One would think that being the son of an NBA coach, EB would have a higher basketball IQ than other players, plus he is a senior. But game after game he shows no court awareness at all. No matter the situation he will shoot a 3, this far in to the season he's probably taken the ball to the hoop 5 or 6 times. The games the Ducks have been their most impressive are when there is a lot of ball movement, a concept that EB really is not comfortable with.
