Why not let him call the game virtually from home?

The last time he dribbled and took a step back 3, he was called for traveling, so he only needs to take the open 3's.

I really hope Trey only shoots 3s if it's off a pass and he's wide open. I cringe watching him dribble and take step back 3s.
The less offense he tries to create himself the better. I do think opposing teams will live with him getting open looks in an attempt to lock down other guys like Tyson, Gilbert, and Dexter. He just needs to make them pay when he’s open.

Originally posted by pie n eye View PostTrey and Dexter are key today. If Trey can hit 35+% from three and Dexter can stay out of foul trouble and hit his open looks it will be huge.
I think Ricky has the physical tools necessary to get to the rim and possibly get Houston in some foul trouble.
Alterique, Mo, and Poor Bear need to stay under 3 turnovers a piece.

If we limit turnovers, box out every possession and shoot a decent percentage we can win. Doing two of those three against Houston is a lot to ask. Boxing out every possession is 100% within our control.
Even if we manage to get close to that goal they will still grab their share of offensive rebounds and will probably beat us on the boards. We know they are that good.
The zone worked really well against USF. If Houston has a weakness it’s their outside shooting. Maybe we’ll see a lot of the zone but that could lead to even more offensive rebounds.
There’s a lot of season to go so a win or loss tonight won’t make or break the conference race but obviously a win would put us on the inside track to a top 3 finish, national ranking and potential NCAA bid.

Quotables: Isaac Brown Pre-Houston
Wichita State men's basketball interim head coach Isaac Brown spoke to media ahead of the Shockers' matchup with Houston set for Wednesday night. He spoke about the leadership in the locker room, what makes Houston so good and what it will take to beat Houston.
Pretty lengthy Q&A. Coach Brown does a decent job with this.
My favorite response:
… getting one defensive rebound from the center position:
"That's an amazing stat. I noticed that after the game. I was so locked into the game and just making sure the guys were executing the right things, but after the game I saw it and I went to Morris, I went to Poor Bear. I went to Josaphat and I said, 'This just won't get it done.' There's no way we can play our game when our bigs only get one rebound. That's just not good enough. And in order for us to go down to Houston, I've already told those guys, between our bigs, we need 10 to 12 rebounds in that game and we haven't done that this year, but we just keep trying to emphasize that in practice. We're working on check outs 24/7. We're working on techniques. If you miss a check out practice, you're being held accountable. Now we can put you on the sideline and run you a little bit. We've just got to keep getting better at that. But I think our bigs have to get better at rebounding. We're not rebounding at a high level like we need to. I think those guys can rebound at a high level. We've just got to start taking it from practice into the game."
