The play that we got from Moren has gotta be thanks to Walsh.

He’s a major women’s team fan and regular women’s game attendee.

Walsh is the real deal. I hope we keep him for a long time.

The new coach in waiting!

Moren is special, her growth of the women's program is something else. IU women look like a powerhouse now.

And that's a nice play.

It's not necessarily the "play" that makes this go, imo. It's where you put the pieces, as well... 

You have your best shooter on the men's team making the pass (Kopp), for the women's team, not their best shooter, but a lethal one (Sydney)..... Grace+JHS set the UCLA screen, but both of their skill sets in the midrange are very good, so their defender hugs them (doesn't worry about bumping the cutter)  because you cannot let JHS or Grace catch the ball at the nail hole, but the defender doesn't see the big picture here.... Dickinson and the girl guarding Holmes don't jump to the ball quick enough... 4 points for our teams... yayyyy. 

This will be scouted now and we won't be able to use it for a bit, but still. Great design. 

Coaching is all about stealing ideas and altering them to make them your own.

It's awfully nice to be Teri Moren - every one of her top six players has to be guarded on the perimeter, the ball pops, and her post has to be double-teamed. Only strategy I can think of? Force feed to whoever Holmes is guarding and see if you can get her in foul trouble. Of course, our guards double down so effectively that doing so often results in a turnover.

It's 'pick your poison' to the max.

Sure you can still use it. You can run a counter from this as the tendency will be to over help on Holmes/TJD so you have Berger/JHS pop to the FT line for either an uncontested jumper or quick rotation to the weak side corner if the defender there helps. There are always counters.

I realize that. But, if you run that early in a game NOW(after it's on film) vs. a well-coached team... TJD is getting bumped off his cut by his own man... and JHS is getting denied. 

The girls run this action a ton, but they have more shooters and Grace vs. JHS in the lane is advantage Grace, comparatively. 

Michigans defense on this play was astronomically bad. That won't always be the case, either.

Moren built the squad, the entire program, and runs it all from the sidelines with precision, so yeah, it's nice to be her lol!

On the 'pick your poison,' the HT just rd-published a nice piece from the Star with that very headline, and as the piece lays it out, it's impressive.

Before we go back to just talking men's team, just a few things from that article:

Holmes made 15-18 shots Monday against Ohio St, just another walk in the park for her, double figures in every game all season

That was the women's 8th W over a ranked opponent in as many tries

Avg margin of victory: 13.6 points

They shot 74% in the 1st half against ranked OSU, 74%...

They've trailed a total of 8:36 min over the past 2 games against top 15 teams

I mean, 24-1, yeah, good to be Moren :)

I'm thinking how cool it would be to see both programs in the FF. These women are so good (Berger remains my fav).

Yeah it isn't too difficult to coach our girls team on the offensive end lol 

I can't think of any way to beat us, besides the strategy you mentioned.

We have 3 really good assistant coaches. Hope you're right...

Walsh wasn't at that game. Only Hunter & Ya were there, I spoke to both at halftime. Walsh had the scout for Michigan so I think he was working on that. Plus we got the play from Rhet Weizba too, he is the offensive coordinator for the woman's team, Box handles the D and Teri oversees it all.

@realTomCrean's post was much better than mine.

Kudos to a staff that pays attention and embraces learning.

Can confirm the last bit.

I think that was awesome, one of the quickest and easiest score I've seen in awhile.

Woodson is really growing on me. He knows the game and what is needed.

Really liked his feel for how the game was shifting and the intensity from his best players. He had a few excellent plays ATO too.

I really like CMW as a person and basketball mind. Here’s a thread on Twitter that discusses but one example of in-game adjustments and coaching:
