You have to give credit to Iowa St. defense, they totally took us out of our offense and we reverted back to the way we been playing the past few years with no flow. Idk what happened that we just had to abandon the offense from the EWC game, but the team just said "F" it let's just play pick up basketball. Also, being undersized may have gotten us by in the past but uhhh from what I've seen on so far in our conference from UNCW and College of Charleston we will continue to get punished in the paint. Both of those teams took to to Carolina with ease, and they are very physical. If we don't toughen up it will be a very long season. We’ve played “and 1” basketball through 3 games regardless of opponent. The guards are playing a game of 21 while being on a team 😂 That's not true, the last 2 games we have played with no offensive philosophy. The difference between game 1 vs games 2&3 are the defenses. Tougher defenses apparently take us out of our offensive sets and the coaching staff are not making adjustments, and what you see are the players having to figure it out on their own.

Did you watch the first game? Out of 100 points scored our big guys scored 14 points… Our starting PG had 2 assists and 22 points We ran no offensive sets the first game…

Coaches need to step up and not let these guys panic against a tough in your face man-to-man defense. Right now he's letting it happen. Regardless of how overmatched we are, they have to stay composed.

The reason you saw only 2 assists for our PG is because he is NOT a true PG, he is a 2 guard playing as a PG. The ball movement was there, we just played lesser talent.

I disagree on what we ran, there was really no ball movement…same as last year.

It looks like we are running a poorly executed version of the 5-out. The 5-out doesn't work if you have ball hogs.

That will work in the MEAC, except when playing Norfolk State, but the CAA is an entirely different beast. We gotta load up for the CAA, period.

Talent without coaching equals loses It’s not all about talent

Need a National Seaech for a real deal head coach. We need to get out of the "Interim" bag.
Should be searching starting yesterday.

Tougher defenses apparently take us out of our offensive sets and the coaching staff are not making adjustments, and what you see are the players having to figure it out on their own. I like your comment on in-game adjustment by the coaches. We have to learn whether this coaching staff can make better in-game adjustments than last year's staff and do the players have the ability to execute these changes against tough teams. Since this is the same staff as last year with just a different head on the snake, one might expect the ability to make in-game adjustments to be similar. Coaches need to run plays compatible to the makeup of his team (IQ, size, speed, athleticism, etc) and the opponent he faces each game. What's the old Mike Tyson saying? Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth. Let's see what happens.

Gentlemen, We were picked next to last in the CAA for a reason. It’s part of the reason why we as fans need to really temper our expectations for this season. Just remember that we have an interim coach with multiple bigs missing in action for extended periods of time. While I am always hopeful of a magical season, I fully expect us not to make it far in the CAA this first go-round. I hope you all make the same realizations also. A&T Basketball will have to build up multiple items to become a CAA contender and that will have to take a few seasons, at least, to do so. It's a bigger leap into the CAA than most people realize. Towson came from the AE in 2001 and had losing seasons in conference play for 11 straight seasons. Pat Skerry went 1-31 his first season at Towson. In 11 seasons as HC he has only six winning seasons in the conference and finished 9th two of the past four years. This is a tough conference and it will take time to build a winning reputation to bring in coaches and recruits that can win here. We also get poached for coaches when we win in the CAA on the regular. Four former CAA head coaches are head coaches in the ACC right now.

Multiple posters suggest that we need an upgrade in coach to be competitive in the CAA. What about the players? Are the players we currently have or are recruiting sufficient to compete at a high level or is there a noticeable gap in talent? Just asking because I don't know. I don't like when all the blame is put on the coach when there maybe a problem in recruiting talent that may be out of his control.
