If this is what Tommy is telling these players defense is about then no wonder we are horrible. They ask him a question about defense and he says they need to transition into offense quicker? Not a great defensive game plan if you ask me.

 

 

Defensively, what can we expect;
Troy Williams--"We have to win the glass, rebound and that will help us in transition.

Well rebounding will help transition, but in our case we give up wide open layups so there's not as many opportunities.

He's not entirely wrong.

Technically that is true, if we can rebound better we can get out in transition.  However, I think a rebound needs to be defined to the team.  A rebound is NOT when you take it from the net, step back, and inbound the ball.

I am not saying what he is saying is wrong, I am saying it should not be a defensive strategy which is what the question was.

Ben Howland. Man, that would be nice.

Defensive rebounding is always part of the defensive strategy.  We are excellent at giving up an offensive rebound and then an and 1.  That's a horrible defensive strategy.  I understand what you're saying, a better answer would be to pressure the ball, not get confused by switching defenses mid possession, or actually communicating.

Howland is intriguing.

we've done this before and his name is Kelvin Sampson. Please no, we don't need to go there

Howland has never had any NCAA issues and aside from Reeves Nelson, his players have rarely been in trouble.

his team was out of control. It wasn't just Nelson that was the problem, if it was he wouldn't have been fired

And??? Tom Creans team was out of control last summer/fall.

Seriously? That quote makes me want to punch a brick wall

So we should go get someone else who lost control of a program?

[MikeRoberts 6,832]

yes, and I wanted Crean gone then.

[BlueDevil 8,643]

How long would Howland be here? He's approaching 60.

Enough with the back and forth on Crean. This is about future candidates

In that case, I want Archie Miller. I have a feeling about him.

Does Arad McCutcheon have any grandkids with his coaching genes? lol.

[biteoftheapple 4,115]

My high school coach played for him in 64-65. He was miserable.
