It can't get easy baskets through any offensive sets because Haith and his staff don't know how to design an offense. Consequently, the degree of difficulty for their scoring is exponentially higher, even though their perimeter players are highly skilled offensively.

The defense constantly under-rotates, just like it's done from the moment Haith set foot in Columbia. As a result, teams always have open, set looks from the perimeter.

Seven assists on 26 makes is pretty ****ing hard to do. There's no ball movement, no spacing, no team play whatsoever.

It's just an awful, awful basketball team, even though it is relatively talented.

For all those preaching patience, you're going to reap your just desserts. We've seen this script play out at Miami. It's going to go no differently here. Haith will never make the SS as coach. Anywhere.
I've come to my senses on this.. You're spot on; there is a complete lack in "faith in Haith" from these players, and it shows in all facets. The offense is, as cliche as it sounds, glorified street ball. The shitty players get zero touches, not even to allow off-ball movement to open a better player. Clarkson has zero desire to distribute, Ross is woefully misused and unafraid of the repercussions of poor shot selection, and Brown seemingly couldn't give the first **** about whether this team succeeds.

And that's just offense. The communication problems this team displays on defense is emblematic of poor coaching, poor team cohesion, and a very low bball IQ.
