Please let's just not have most of the team peel off this year and start almost from scratch next season again like we've been seeing for the last 5 years. For example, on this year's team only Childs, Bryant, Haws and Dastrup played last year. That's mind boggling on a team that was so young to begin with. If we can hold 8-9 guys together for next year we will be better. They also need to figure out how to keep the defense respectable without killing the offense. One strategic decision this year was to lay off the offensive boards to drop back into defense. That helped the defense. The problem is it hurts the offense when the shots aren't falling. There probably needs to be a little give there. Also, maybe more mature players making better decisions helps. There is no way a slower paced offense like we had this year should be turning the ball over 20 times in a game. Rose teams in the past have taken better care of the ball.

Also, people (but not you) wonder why Dastrup doesn't play more. It's because per minute he turns the ball over more than anyone else on the team. This I think was making Rose pull his hair out. Dastrup can be a serviceable, maybe even an important player in the future if he can get the mental side working for him. These are hopefully the kinds of issues that start to correct as players mature together over 2-3 years.
