Not looking to repeat anything that's been said. Here's what I have seen and what I like so far, results notwithstanding:
- More trapping out of the zone. LOTS more trapping out of the zone.
- More use of the press
- More substitutions in the second half (especially offense/defense with the big men)
- Willingness to go deeper into the bench
I think these things are positives, and I think we see some of the future of how Hop is going to coach. The 2-3 zone is a tremendous advantage in terms of converting defense into offense, and I think that by making the zone even more aggressive than the 4-1 type of zone we've been playing the past few years to REALLY get out on to wing shooters, I think we are going to see Mike trap and press like crazy with the team when he holds the reins permanently.
I like what I've seen so far from Mike, apart from a couple disappointing losses, obviously.
