Kermit Davis was recently asked about the struggling offense, something that has become a theme under the Rebel Head Coach during his tenure.
His answer? “Make more shots.”
Excuse me...
That answer alone says all anyone should need to know about the state of the program. After multiple seasons of a struggling offense, the answer is not simply, the Rebels have to make more shots. This is a coach failing to take responsibility for the product on the floor and shifting blame to the players. It’s weak.
It starts with recruiting. Rather than identifying the need for shooting/scoring and pursuing that in the offseason, Davis and his staff doubled down on defensive minded players who struggle to score.
