Like Checkmate has said, I don't think we're going to see any radical changes this season beyond stuff like what we saw last night with some new starters, but overall minutes and approach to games and shooting won't change.
I'm not saying this is the right move, but my best guess is this in terms of hopes/philosophy for what's left:
As poor as they've been, SBU has not (yet) been blown out in the AE. You could argue that with a few breaks and a few shots falling we've been *right there* about every game. Hey, I'm not saying I'd be convinced by that argument, but I think you could make it and from a program approach standpoint it's probably the safest/best argument to make right now. Keep on with what you think is the right thing to do.
So you keep plugging along and what happens?
SBU loses the rest of its games. Quite possible, and of course worst case scenario. Okay, so you say to the masses "We had some tough breaks, played a lot of young guys without experience, and need to get better at X, Y, Z...."
But what if, just what if, especially come AE playoffs the trend shifts and SBU starts hitting just average percentages and doing a few more things right? Possible, right? And if that happens (AE remember) they're right back to maybe winning a first round game (if they don't draw UVM) and we think "Okay, well they ended on a higher note...." Or, they super-duper pull things together and win two games (I'm thinking even if they didn't draw UVM in game 1 they'd likely get them in a game 2, so this probably is not at all likely, but still...) and we think, "Wow, now they over-achieved and something must be good going into next year!"
Anyway, yeah, rambling but I guess what I'm trying to say is we ain't going to see anything different this year (probably not any year with the same HC) and the best hope is playing that early morning AE Saturday game in March as a "Cinderella team" on ESPN2 against UVM or UA. Anything less than that and you play the "we have more work to do" card and come back next year.
But what do *I* think SBU should do in terms of 3 pters? I'd like it if Ty, Saintel, Mac, Garcia, and Petras (Petras?!!) never shoot another one all year. I'd like it if Cornish and Olaniyi each take no more than two wide open ones each game (and zero is fine). And I'd like it if Yeboah and UC take as many open ones as they want (heck, why not). If Sekunda comes back, he can take a few (I'll text him the number allowed if he suits up this year
)
