[QUOTE="WyattEarp, post: 1976697, member: 748573"] The awareness, cohesion, and coach-ability of this team gives me hope for at least a Sweet 16 or Elite 8-type season. (This team plays with poise most of the time.) It helps when you’ve got pieces like he has…but for the people that say Brad can’t gameplan I’d have to say this is a solid example of doing a prettygood job in that regard. (Yes we lost but we gave ourselves a fighting chance until the bitter end pretty much. I would have rather had a “w” of course…yet I’m glad this unit basically, seems to understand how to play in these types of games. (It’s early December…that bodes well.) I like that run and jump press. I just kinda wish we deployed it a little more…for a possession here or there. It does exactly what he wants it to. Def. has the potential to really be a momentum killer for the bad guys. JMO Yes we’re #10 in the country…and we’re mostly a get stops, physicality/bang on the half-court kinda team. But goddarn it’s effective…I like it! [/QUOTE]
