Don't want to copy and paste the whole thing, but check it out if you're interested. Excerpts below:
Offensively, we were a disaster. It was in part because we had no rhythm in the offensive attack. And for the first time, we had guys who were not accustomed to what was expected of them. Johnathan Williams III was never counted on to be the primary offensive threat. Ryan Rosburg was never counted on to be a primary offensive threat. It was always, "Okay, you guys will get the drop offs, you’ll get your dunks, you’ll get your layups, and you step up and knock down an occasional 3 and get to the free throw line. That’s how you’ll be a consistent double-figure scorer. Other than that, rebound the ball and play good defense."
We recruited the athletes, we have athletes. But their skill has to be refined. And that’s the area where we didn’t do the job that we needed to do as assistant coaches. I don’t really feel like that’s the head coach’s job. I think it’s our job to get them on the court, ready to be players, and it’s for him to call the plays and do the things he needs to do. And I feel like we as assistants let Coach Anderson down at that level. I take a huge chunk of responsibility for that.
