Often times the tendency when you’re playing with a player as efficient and productive as Noah Dickerson is to get him the ball and watch him work.
It’s a bad habit that can short circuit the offense and create disharmony, Huskies coach Mike Hopkins admitted.
But it’s also a survival tactic that served the Washington men’s basketball team well last season when the All-Pac-12 forward carried UW to many of its 21 wins.
The trick for Hopkins and the Huskies is finding a balance between trying to deliver the ball to Dickerson in the post and moving the ball so others can get scoring opportunities.
