New poster. Lurking for a long time. Former player and coach at HS level. Dartmouth grad. Connected to program. Watched every game this season. Tonights observations and general observations (I had to post. Can't watch this anymore):
1. I thought Maclaughlin was a a good x's and o's coach. Apparently hes not. The way you beat a 1-3-1 zone is pics, dribble penetrations, and kicks. We are either not talented enough to beat a zone or they havent been taught how to. This is on the coach.
2. Boudreaux has averaged 20 points a game forever (conf play last year and in HS. This year 15ppg. Solid season, but this coach said he planned to run the offense through Evan, but its not happening. Granted, Boudreaux has had a tough run percentage wise (slump), but his players see him wide open and dont have the talent or basketball IQ to make the passes most of the time.
3. Mike Fleming is atrocious. Hes a walking foul and turnover. WHy does coach play him? He holds players he guards all the time becasue hes too slow to guard them. Why doesnt maclaughlin start Barry? Play the kid. Hes the future. Fleming is not. And hes muc better than Fleming.
4. We have no 5. Evan is not a 5. Hes a small power forward. Our 5's are terrible. No defense. No slide help. No footwork. Not much offense.Evan out of position. Whos in charge of development??
Macglaughlin...
5. Guilien Smith NEVER passes the ball. NEVER. He drives with his head down. No court vision. Hes ok sometimes as a slasher, but his lack of basketball IQ is overwhelming. Head down drives into 3 bigs, no conscience. Guys wide open, no passes. And hes soft. Very soft. 1 for 7 right now, many wide open people and no passes!
6. Miles Wright is actually the most inconsistent player ive ever seen. Generally, most games, hes a ghost. A few shots here and there. A few rebounds here and there. Very soft. Not tough at all. Cannot count on him for anything. Also rarely passes to the open man.
7. Sistare: Tough, but slow and not a great shooter. But he passes.Solid
8. Emery: Soft. Nervous. Will get better.
SO what is macglaughlin doing for development! We cant beat a zone. We play almost zero defense. We are a poor passing team. No one but Evan rebounds. Our substitution patterns are random and it seems that Maclaughlin goes out of his way to take hot players out as soon as they get hot. Tired of watching this poor play night after night. Its embarrassing to be a Dartmouth fan. Sorry but I had to vent
