They've been trying different things with the same units for a while now. Spott is bad but its not like hes crazy, he knows changes need to be made.
Unfortunately a lot of this falls on the players and their lack of creativity/speed. When they try to play fast they rush shots and passes and bobble them. That doesnt work so they default back to passing around the perimeter.
JoePavs was probably more of a player coach than we realized.
