princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon and men's basketball coach Joe Scott recorded a candid and revealing interview this week at Jadwin Gym, reviewing Princeton's 0-2 trip to New York State and discussing the exam break plans for the Tigers as they prepare for Seton Hall and the rest of the Ivy schedule.
Some of the topics discussed include:
-The Ivy League opener versus Columbia and the difference between the first ten minutes and the last thirty minutes.
-The area where Princeton is now looking to make their greatest improvement.
-How Coach Scott could have prepared the team differently before last weekend and what he thinks he should have done in retrospect.
-The loss to Cornell and the “indecision” several Princeton players showed for the first time in this game.
-What the loss of Kyle Koncz means to this team.
-What the Cornell game showed the coaches about Zach Finley.
-Why Finley is positioned where he is on defense.
-A passing reference to a player that the coaches may find some minutes for this year.
-What specifically about Cornell’s zone caused Princeton problems.
-If Coach Scott has any memories of the 1983-84 season, the last time Princeton started 0-2 in Ivy play, and if he uses any of this for inspiration.
-The schedule over the exam break, both individually and as a team.
-If Princeton looks beyond Seton Hall as they prepare to play at Yale and Brown.
-What is expected of Noah Savage with Koncz out.
-Updates on the health of both Koncz and Savage.
