Muir isn't going to fire Haase, but he should. Last night was another example of poor coaching.
Defense - Cal's 7-footer was raining 3s in the first half. We stayed in zone most of the time. Where was the box and one? Put da Silva in his face and play a 4-man zone.
Offense - some people will say "there's nothing you can do when the shots aren't dropping." I call BS. How about STOP SHOOTING THREES AND WORK THE BALL INSIDE? How about going after their big man and getting him in foul trouble? How about working the ball inside? There was far too little of that.
The turnovers last night from sloppy passing - how does a team after 30 games handle the ball so poorly? Please don't tell me "well we were missing Daejon." Not like his assist-to-turnover ratio or turnovers per game is so different. Not a knock on Davis - he's not a point guard.
More than anything else, I'm just sick and tired of mediocre basketball. 11 years of this crap, and an AD who sat on Dawkins for too long and who I worry will do the same with Haase. I know he won't fire him this year. My only hope is that he makes it clear that with or without Okpala, Stanford must be in the Big Dance in 2020 or he's gone.
