I think many are conflating "up tempo" (which many want because it's exciting) and "Modern/NBA-style" (which is what Dolson has stated he wants).

"Modern" does not translate to fast, at least not entirely. In fact in the NBA offenses that are "too fast" like Mike D'Antoni's have tended to struggle. When I hear someone with real basketball knowledge talk about "NBA style," I hear shooting, 3-pointers, ball movement, and "small ball." Just because the NBA plays much faster than college does not mean that NBA style is "fast."

Bingo. It's not just a track meet. It's pushing the ball with a purpose and looking up the floor. Taking driving angles the defense gives. Just playing smart and confident basketball. We've spent 4 years watching the dumbest and most scared offense in college basketball.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Rabby saying that Creighton job could open today and go after Moser.

Interesting, maybe it puts Mason Miller back in play if he likes our new coach.

Is McDermott getting fired?

Will be very interesting to see who gets the Texas gig and I think it will say a lot about who SD is after. Can’t imagine IU will let Texas fire a coach after them and hire a guy they wanted. I still do think though, that Texas hires their guy before Dolson does.

The Saga continues.

Beard is probably hired next Friday after the buyout drops.

Don't they play this weekend? I know McDermott is in hot water but they are going to fire him today?

I know we're not allowed to post stuff but he essentially said it could open as early as today. Yes, they play this weekend. Maybe they feel like they need to move.

No the NBA is definitely going more up tempo. I remember Nate Oats actually talking about this during a game but pacing in the NBA has been going up for years but the college game hasn’t been keeping up. Plus I’ve never thought of struggling on offense when it comes to Mike Dantoni. Here’s an article actually talking about how pacing is so high in the NBA now.

Scoring was way up the 80s simply because no one cares to play defense. Then it flip flopped in the 90s. The early 2000s was its own deal. Teams are starting to score more without a doubt and guys are more talented and skilled than ever before. Offenses are also allowed to have space and freedom and not just be grabbed because defenders suck at defending.

McDermont is in trouble for comments not much different than Beilien. Thus, I don’t get all the Beilein hype.

Correct. It ebbs and flows and styles come and go. Speed itself is not a "style." It's what you do while you have the ball that defines a style. In the current NBA, what they do with the ball is move, pass, and look for an open jumper, hopefully a 3, and yes it tends to be fast. But it's not "fastest team wins."

That would be a better fit.  He is a good coach and his teams are fun to watch.  I'm just not sure if it works without that underdog mindset his guys have.

I am starting to realize if I continue to try to keep up to date on this thread 100% I am going to get fired from my job.

#worthit

yes it is quite the deal.  I am a high school teacher.  I have had this thread open all day. This afternoon during my prep a student came to get some help from me.  While I was helping them my computer kept dinging from new replies in this thread.  The student even commented that my computer was sure making a lot of noise, lol.  And all the while I am helping this student I am wondering if there is some type of news in this coaching search.  The struggle is real.
