It's a tough thing to cure. I like to make my guys play 5 on 6 and sometimes 5 on 7 in practice. A lot of times it's better to just go back to the basics and really focus on ball handling.

Martin is an idiot for not playing an up tempo style. No PG and trying to establish a 1/2 court offense is impossible it just is. Get rebounds and push the ball, this team needs more easy baskets.

You go back to what you learn the first few weeks you ever learn to play basketball

Agree about pushing the ball more.

I agree completely. The hardest thing to do without a point guard is running a half court offense. We should be getting the ball off the glass and pushing it as much as possible.

Especially now that he is playing 9 guys. If you can't push the ball with 9 guys than your team is poorly conditioned.

Pressbreaker vs 7, 8, or even 9. Go till you break it and score 10 times.

Fundamentals of course, but discipline is just as important. The players have to care for the ball when they have it. They're way too loose with their decisions.
