"It's the right thing for all of us to do. "I applaud our head coaches for taking a leadership role in this," George said in a statement. Head coaches in the other eight sports will reduce their pay by 5%. The Buffaloes announced that athletic director Rick George, new football coach Karl Dorrell, men's basketball coach Tad Boyle and women's basketball coach JR Payne will reduce their salaries by 10% through the upcoming fiscal year.

But as a coach, you watch film with players and try ball-handling and passing drills.
“It’s funny, we’ve worked more in practice this year on passing than we ever have,” Boyle said. CU has lost three games - to Colorado State, George Washington and Hawaii - by three points or fewer. Committing a turnover or failing to pass to an open shooter especially rears its ugly head during crunchtime. Sophomore guard Jaron Hopkins has 19 assists but also 23 turnovers (0.8).Ĭolorado’s poor assist-to-turnover ratio no doubt has contributed to the Buffs’ disappointing record thus far. Sophomore forward Dustin Thomas has 19 turnovers and 10 assists (0.5). Junior forward Xavier Johnson has 24 turnovers and just eight assists (0.3). Relative to assist-to-turnover ratio, several key Colorado players have a long way to go before pleasing Boyle. “Josh Scott has 15 assists in 12 games (he missed the victory over UCLA because of back spasms), and that’s certainly not earth shattering,” Boyle said. Only Scott’s ratio reaches the standards set by Boyle relative to a player’s position. “Coach (Boyle) wants us to play hard but also smart,” Booker said. Of the Buffaloes’ top nine players, only four have a positive assist-to-turnover ratio: junior forward-center Josh Scott (2.1), senior combination guard Askia Booker (1.3), freshman point guard Dominique Collier (1.3) and junior combination guard Xavier Talton (1.1). “That’s something everybody can improve on.” “It really comes down to a player making good decisions on the court,” he explained. “But if it’s negative, you’re hurting the team. “If you do that, it means you’re playing at an elite level,” Boyle said. Point guards, Boyle said, should strive for a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Perimeter players (wing forwards and shooting guards) should be 2-to-1, with twice as many assists as turnovers.
