Scouting Report

Offense: fast pace, balanced, some freedom, 5 out

Notes:

1st Half

Good performance at both ends of the floor. I had to dig deep into the rotation because of foul troubles on PG Anthony Turner and C Brandon Braun, but a lot players had significant contributions. Even newcomers PF Jordan Legans and SG Dan Smith combined for 10 pts off the bench

11:58, Down 48-50

Our run continues, with SG Dan Smith scoring 7 of our last 9 pts. BETH's FG shooting has dropped here in the 2nd half. We are in the penalty

Both teams turning the ball over a lot. BETH made a 3 earlier, and then completed a 3pt play. Timeout

BETH with a quick foul. SG Kevin Stokes to shoot 1-and-1. No problems for Stokes making both FTs. Timeout BETH

0:29, Up 74-70

C Diego Daniels gets the pass. I had instructions to the team to foul Daniels if he has the ball. We foul. Bad decision. Daniels sinks both FTs this time. Up 2. Another foul on BETH. SG Stokes added 2 more FTs. Up 4. We defended the 3 well. BETH missed. We hang on, for our 1st close win this season. After making 6 3s in the 1st half, we limited BETH to just 2 triples i the 2nd

11:14, Down 50-59

We simply can't afford to just trade baskets. Gallant effort by PF Jordan Legans, scoring all of his 7 ts do far here in the 2nd half, but HOW still shooting a very good 53% FG
