I hope that DT is not getting 25 minutes per game next year, I fear that he may though. If Marshall Wood is just decent, he should be getting a fair share of Deion's minutes. Hopefully, Wood is better than decent.
Deion has a role in this team. That role should be a defensive specialist type of player that averages probably 15 minutes per game.

Homer, all good points. I particularly agree with items 3-5, I think we do get stuck passing around the arc for 20 seconds and then heave a 3pt shot in the last 15 seconds. It may be related to slowing the game down.
I do concur we tend to slow down. Sometimes that's a good strategy, sometimes not. I'm not a fan mostly because it puts me on the edge of a coronary at every home game.
I don't mind the substituting on O for D. I think this is pretty common and we probably avoided a decent number of foulouts as a result. Hard to know for sure, but we had very few foul outs. Of course, you may be better off running a guy completely through 5 fouls and just get what you can out of him until then. It's not like you don't get to put someone else in.
I don't meant to pick on Deion, but my single biggest adjustment would be getting ANO more minutes and DT fewer. DT has to find some confidence in his offensive game and I don't think his D is that much better than ANO's. I think that puts us in position to have four scorers on the floor, if we can make a lineup with SDJ/TA/TJ/ANO work together. Having a defensive specialist at the 2 is still sub-optimal, but I could live with it.

good list, Homer.
regarding #3, I do think we ran through the post more than ever under Mooney the last efw weeks. it takes 5 passes to get to that point, but eventually it gets to Cline or Allen on the block, sometimes ANO. and all 3 are doing pretty good things with it.
I'm ok burning some clock, but if a team dares to press us and we beat it I always want to make them pay for pressing. Miami got beat on the press but never had to call it off because we didn't hurt them. sometimes we pulled out, which I don't like. a couple of time we did attack but couldn't finish, we're denied, or missed a corner 3.

Good list Homer, especially #3 and #4.
IMO a big part of becoming more consistent with inside out is continuing to develop offensive chemistry between TJ and the rest of the guys. When everyone is on the same page, he is a deadly passer, opening up good looks for the rest of the team.
While it was frustrating to see us get away from this in late-game situations, it was only TJ's first year playing live games with our guys. Perhaps that's why we deviated from this strategy and fell into a more guard-oriented freelance late in games. Our guys appeared to trust the upperclassman in K0 to score on his own when the game got tight, perhaps moreso than they trusted themselves as a unit.
We were lucky to have CL and K0 carry the load by themselves in years past, but this will have to change out of necessity next season. I think it will, after another offseason and preseason becoming more comfortable working through TJ or whoever the quarterback is in the post. Get over this hump and LOOK OUT
