Coach Joe Scott - 1/11/07.
princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon and men's basketball coach Joe Scott got together the afternoon before the start of Princeton's Ivy League schedule to review the Tigers' dominating defensive effort versus Rice and to scout the weekend's road trip to Columbia and Cornell.
Some of the topics discussed include:
-The Tigers’ great defensive communication in the victory over Rice.
-Defending Morris Almond and Luke Owings’ comments after the Rice game that Almond can’t score if the ball isn’t in his hands. Was this part of the defensive gameplan?
-The weird six minute stretch in the second half versus Rice where Princeton turned the ball over ten times in eleven possessions and what may have caused this.
-The fact that only one player in Princeton’s nine man rotation made their first shot, yet the Tigers still won by 23. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
-If practice has been going well this week.
-The health of the team and an injury to a Princeton starter that may limit their minutes this weekend.
-Other areas of concern heading into Ivy play.
-The different problems Columbia and Cornell present this weekend.
-Last year’s difficulty on the perimeter at Columbia.

Coach Joe Scott - 1/4/07.
In their first interview of 2007, princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon and men's basketball coach Joe Scott talk about Princeton's 57-46 victory over Iona and preview the final non-conference game before Ivy League play begins, this Saturday's contest at Jadwin Gym versus Rice.
Some of the topics discussed include:
-Princeton’s success against Iona and what Coach Scott liked about how the game was played.
-If the Tigers did what was expected of them while they were away from campus for a few days over the holidays.
-How practice has been going since then.
-Justin Conway’s two big three point shots versus Iona and how Coach Scott shows his players he hasn’t lost confidence in them when they’re struggling in a particular aspect of their game.
-How Princeton could avoid having so many seemingly open point-blank shots end up blocked.
-Marcus Schroeder leading the nation in minutes-per-game, if he can keep up this pace and if this is something the coaching staff wants him to do.
-Rice, and the nation’s leading scorer, Morris Almond. Does a player like Almond make it difficult to create an effective scouting report?
