Message: [QUOTE="Coach Orange, post: 896223, member: 2260"] I think you nailed it here--the point is to outscore the opponent, no matter how you do it. I guess the coach in me argues I don't care if it it takes 75 possessions or 54--just outscore the opponent in those possessions. Logically, it seems easier to outscore a team that produces 50.8 ppg than one that scores 70 ppg. I would agree completely with you that teams have slowed the pace against us--High Point and St. Francis did for sure, as did Miami. To support your point, I would argue that Coach B tried to speed those teams up by pressing. Even then, though, it was an attempt to control the game through defense. Ultimately, this team seems to play at the speed they need to in order to win, which is all any fan (or coach) can ask for, right? :) [/QUOTE]
