Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 1354640, member: 1969"] There is not that much isolation in the NBA anymore. Lots of points I agree with, a few I disagree with, not much time too comment. But I see two key points that I liked and will quickly add to: 1) NCAA Kids are overcoached, "overcontrolled" in many areas. And it is much easier to coach a defensive system where you don't need to first wonder what the opponent will do. You just have your system -- so coaches emphasize defence first. It is what they can control. 2) The difference in systems/styles and the variability of such is much more pronoinced in the NCAA than the NBA. It does make for some enjoyable pre-game and in game banter... but it also does lead to some teams with unbearable systems that really beat down on the entertainment value. [/QUOTE]
