Allen struggling right now at UH

Hawaii Coach Eran Ganot on Noah Allen who has struggled lately: “There’s so many things he’s going through for the first time as a senior, it’s unique. His versatility does help him. He can defend, he’s one of our best rebounders. I think on an offensive standpoint, he has to find those other ways to help because I think he settles for shots and when he doesn’t make the shots from the perimeter he doesn’t score. Whereas he can attack the rim, he can use his size, he can get on the offensive boards, he can run in transition, he can get to the line where he’s a very good free throw shooter. He’s a good player, he’s a great kid, we’re not going away from him. It’s going to happen.”

“Right now what you’re seeing with Noah is that approach is not a matter of time because its not going to happen unless he finds the spark and the fight and the passion. It’s not really in his natural personality, but its certainly in there. He’s got a good heart. He needs to have some breakthroughs and one thing is I think he needs to have a string of good practices. I think that will lead him. We will be at our best when Noah Allen is at his best out there.”
