If Donnie had played like Doty we would be dancing and Autry would be coaching. This sums up the problem with Autry... he had a vision but he didn't have a plan for executing it and because of that his players had no idea what they were doing on the court.

My fear with GMAC is while he gets his players to play hard, but what separates the elite coaches from the average/poor ones is the game plan before and during the games. When Duke went zone he had no real answer for it... why didn't he run the offense through Doty at the high post doing those possessions. I didn't see him adjust his scheme in real time when that happened. Now that doesn't mean he never will get to that point where he sees it and can adjust, but it again means we got a coach learning on the job. And we don't know how it will go. I THINK he will figure it out but then again at the beginning of the year I THOUGHT Autry had figured out the defense at least.

If I was interviewing the coach I would ask one question plus a follow up... what's your base offense, okay what happens when the other team moves to a zone to stop it. What do you do? The beauty of the peak JB zone, is only the really good coaches could beat it consistently. So the answer to that question would tell us a lot.
