1) offensive movement - is stagnant at times because our offense consists mostly of screens (a.k.a. like Ford teams). Still not sure why we don't run last year's offense (at least part of the time), which was one of the most successful in oSu history and based more on ball movement.

2) defensive full court pressure - why not put N'Guessan at the top of the press and allow everyone else to pressure the pass because the ball should never be thrown over N'Guessan (if he is taught to keep his hands up & active and never jump on a ball fake).

3) Solomon - I love how far he has come as a basketball player (and he may be able to shoot the 3), but stop shooting contested 3 point shots (there are better shooters on this team). Plus, he is the best offensive rebounder on the team and pulling him this far away from the hoop hinders his ability to cause havoc. I also love seeing him post up more and how he has added the jump hook (nearly impossible to defend), which is another reason to keep him inside the 3 point line. He is doing much better not fouling, but he still needs to stop hand-checking guards (especially around the 3 point line where it is painfully obvious to the refs).

Btw, I'd love to see him play TE next year for the oSu football team (big, strong, good leaping ability, and good hands). Imagine a team trying to stop a pass to him in the end zone

4) refs - can we please get a game where the fouls are called both ways
