We would slow it down when the other team couldn't stop the faster pace. No one wants to be the one to take a “bad shot” early in the shot clock and get chewed out by the coach. So we stop looking for good shots out of fear of taking a bad shot, and focus on running clock. There’s a time and place for running clock, but if we are up 10+ with 12 minutes left, we better be looking to build that lead. Didn’t happen last year, we slowed down and it cost us in the previously mentioned games. I think that’s gotta be on Ford in those moments to emphasize keeping up the pace.

No shot creators last season and that is why the clock ran down on a lot of possessions. Yuri and Jimerson were constantly harassed. Now this team has 2 shot creators, Perkins and Parker who will not be bashful about taking a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkins’ ability to get buckets out of nowhere was seriously missed last year, and it seems like Parker has a similar ability. Both will help a ton in those offensive droughts where we can’t seem to get anything going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, agree. Let's try again, we have not seen Perkins play in an actual game this year, not yet. Happy now HoosierPal likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
