Enoch, who fouled out of the first-round game on Tuesday, was forced to the bench again with just under five minutes to play in the semifinal game. He finished with nine points and six rebounds. “I have to learn how to move my feet better. I use my arms and my body, and got into a lot of foul trouble and that kind of hurt us,” Enoch said. That left coach Jere Quinn with some big problems inside, namely Brewster’s Marcus Derrickson (26 points) and Jarred Reuter. “Their tandem of Georgetown (Derrickson) and Virginia (Reuter), that’s a lot for us to contend with,” Quinn said. www.norwichbulletin.com/article/20150311/SPORTS/150319883/2000/NEWS?template=printartEnoch top 50 kid signed to UConn

That game showed why I am so excited for Marcus to come. He dominated that game offensively. So skilled. We all know JT3 loves versatility, and Marcus will give us some of that in a new way -- a big who can stretch defenses AND do some inside work. I just think a guy like that was MADE for our offense, and once he has adjusted to the college game, his ability to hit shots will free up other shooters and slashers going to the basket. Looking like a really good pickup!

Question...
On the pick & pop vs. the pick & roll, is it riskier to hedge on the dribbler on the pick & pop? It would seem there would be less time to recover.

The help to the pop guy has to come from the other wing. The pop guy can make the extra pass for the open three. If you saw the 3 3's Marcus hit in a row they were all because Quadree Smith is too big to get there after hedging and they didn't want to help off Simon.

Question... On the pick & pop vs. the pick & roll, is it riskier to hedge on the dribbler on the pick & pop? It would seem there would be less time to recover. In a true "hedge" defense, the player "hedging" never breaks contact with his man (i.e., the guy setting the screen that is about to pop). You're really supposed to just briefly show and try to force the dribbler backwards for an instant, which is enough time for your teammate to get under the screen. By doing that and still keeping a hand-check on the screener, you know when he rolls or pops and can immediately follow him. If you're defending the pick and roll (or pop) with a "hard show" or a trap (we sometimes hard show, but we rarely trap), it's more complicated. And that's probably what you're referring to. There, generally, one of the off-the-ball defenders (sayt, the 3) has to rotate up to guard the screener who is popping or rolling and the player that had been screened (the 1) rotates back to guard the 3's man (or someone else's man after further rotation). The idea is that the player that shows recovers to guard someone who is at least one full pass away from getting the ball, which gives him more time to recover. Though more complicated, it's generally thought to be more effective against a team that has a penetrating or good shooting guard getting the original screen because it defends him more carefully than does a hedge. But it's much more complicated on the back end. The bottom line (to state the obvious) is that if you have a big that can both roll and pop effectively it creates lots of trouble for defenses, because it's harder to know exactly how to rotate.

Thanks, Dense & Aleutian.
Derrickson is going to be fun to watch in this offense.
I had contained my excitement about him due to his low ranking, but he is not a fringe Top 100 player based on what I saw yesterday.

Seeing Derrickson already reaping the benefits of his fitness is very good news. To have a kid convinced on Day 1 that putting in work lets him showcase his natural skills is a great thing for a program. Always frustrating when the light does not go on until Junior or Senior year and we wonder "What if?"

I think it's very important that the program invest in a top notch strength,conditioning & nutrition team.. The IAC won't mean as much if the team isn't instructed properly..

I don't know much about the nutrition, but has strength or conditioning ever been a concern.
Not that I can recall since the late 80s.

Just what we were missing.... the annual random strength and conditioning conversation.

I wish it was possible for the school to which kids have already committed to have those guys in attendance for post-season games of their chosen school just to get them that much more excited about the next level. Govan is a NY kid. I wonder if he was in attendance tonight.

The scoring was impressive, but the thing I am most happy about is his apparent dedication to conditioning. It appears he really has transformed his body, getting rid of some of the baby fat and looking leaner and more defined in the arms and shoulders. I think his conditioning was the only thing really holding him back from being able to contribute as a freshman. I think we can all see he already has a college ready offensive game. It's not as bad as last year, but even this year we still have times where 2-3 guys on the court can't shoot outside 5 feet (Bowen, Smith, Hopkins, Peak). I think the best thing about next year's class is all of them have nice touch to at least 15 feet, and some even farther. That will force opponents to actually guard all 5 of our players, and open up lanes for others.

Yes, the lack of athleticism and the inability of our bigs to hit from beyond five feet is killing us.
