Point guards off to good start
Dayton’s Rob Lowery was leading a fastbreak against Capital on Thursday and spotted center Kurt Huelsman ahead of the pack, but the looping pass was too long and ended up going out of bounds.
Instead of getting chewed out, though, the new point guard received some positive reinforcement from coach Brian Gregory.
“Rob’s over-the-top pass to Kurt Huelsman, that’s fine with me,” Gregory said. “He got four of those (completed for fastbreak baskets) and turned the ball over once.
“Our big guys are running, and if they don’t get that pass thrown to them once in a while, they’re going to stop running.”
The point-guard tandem of Lowery and London Warren looked promising in the exhibition win, albeit against Division III competition. The two combined for 20 points and nine assists with just three turnovers.
“Every turnover any of them had occurred in the open court. That’s always a positive,” Gregory said. “If you push the ball, you’re going to turn it over.”
The point-guard position will be closely watched this season since much of the Flyers’ success will depend on how well Warren and Lowery perform.
So far, so good.

I like the idea of pressure defense and running more. It fits our personel well this year. This should be a very entertaining season.
