Right now, Fiz’s coaching seems like a video game you are starting to play and are still locked off certain elements because you are still in one of the first levels. Is it the tank? Right now it seems a competent offensive playbook is out of our reach, and it is either a great strategy to see what you have from your own young team, or a worrisome trend that might come back to haunt us in the future.
And it might be starting to affect players. The last two games in particular, the offense has been brutal. Pathetic, honestly. The fact we have kept close speaks for our fighting nature as much as of the terrible level of the opponent.
And then, the really sucky part of rebuilding begins. This is the part that could start to break a young player: trying so hard and have it constantly turn into an L. We might like it for the draft, but they will get more and more frustrated. And it sucks because they are a good young bunch. But so far, half of their losses have been due to their inexperience, but a worrisome other half is due to a really lacking offensive gameplan.
I know we are a bad team and we did what we should, which is to lose. But this might feel like the first true game we should’ve won considering how bad the Bulls are and how inspiring, even in defeat, we have played. This one was a lost chance. We won’t get many chances during the season to give this young crew a taste of victory and tonight not only the players sucked, but coaching did so as well. Unless it’s part of the plan, which would still make little sense.
