Duke Coaching

[DrKlahn]

Akeem Springs, who went 0-10 including 0-7 from 3 in 17 minutes in that game, somehow went on to start 15 games as the leading sharpshooter for NCAA Tournament-bound Minnesota last year. Yeah, I got nothing.

What would you guys do if Jay Bilas was our next coach?

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

I think Bilas would potentially be great as an NBA coach. I wonder if he could motivate or recruit idiots with the way he speaks, though (big words).

Is Hurley the Brad Stevens of college basketball?

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

We’re fucked.

The lasting memories of us playing Duke Defense in recent times are giving up 65 points in a half to South Carolina and 89 in a game to Boston College. Duke Twitter can be unintentionally cringe worthy.

 

[rome8180]

I want good defense, not "Duke defense."

 

[Pantone287]

Watching Kentucky's long, young team sink off of every PNR against the kind of guard-laden, spread-floor VT team that always wrecks us. VT is playing well, but ball screens are basically having no effect on their defense.

It's just not. that. fucking. hard. to prevent ball screens from singlehandedly wrecking your shit. Goddamn it.

 

[niveklaen]

ball screen def has been K's kryptonite since at least the 2010 (?) worlds (?) when Greece destroyed Lebron and Co for K's only loss in international play

 

[physicsfactor]

That was in 2006. It took college coaches another 5-6 years to figure it out.

The next Duke coach will be no different than any of us: Posts incorrect hot takes online, uses crazy hyperbole, and has no idea how to fix Duke’s defense.

H/T to r/collegebasketball:

Bobby Hurley's ASU Shockers did not take a single mid-range shot in their 76-64 win over Vanderbilt.

 

[rhfarmer]

Looks like both Vandy and ASU get it, honestly.

Is Hurley the Brad Stevens of college basketball?

[Checks Arizona State's defensive stats].

Uh, no.

Uh, no.

Referring to his out-of-timeout acumen.

Referring to his out-of-timeout acumen.

Yes -- in that one respect he's like Brad Stevens. TBH, I hadn't honestly realized how bad Hurley's team was on defense until I looked it up today.

 

[physicsfactor]

Defense. Lol. WGAF

 

[SeanMayTriedToEatMe]

Should be able to contend for national titles for the next few years.

[Slap the Floor]

I really don't want Collins.
