Message: [QUOTE="SarasotaPaul, post: 1307828, member: 985"] Your credibility is shot. Not really sure how you can say anything about this team if you haven't read nor heard any of that. Have you watched any of the games on TV? Do you use the mute button if you do? Good grief how can you miss that all year long. I am comfortable knowing I am dead right here. Maybe (in your defense) you only go to home games and don't have the benefit of hearing announcers on TV explaining to you the defenses used on Cooney. [I] 1 - Clemson head coach: On [URL='http://www.clemsontigers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?&ATCLID=205528956&DB_OEM_ID=28500']Rod Hall[/URL]’s defense on Trevor Cooney:[/I] “It’s effort and discipline. Cooney is uncanny in his ability to search out the ball. Guys penetrate, he’s always moving to try and get a shot. It takes incredible discipline to not react to penetration. He creates his own offense as well as anyone that you’ll see.” 2 -“They just keep a guy with him the whole time, and he’s seen that before,” SU head coach Jim Boeheim said of what teams are doing to slow Cooney down. “St. John’s did the best job of it this year and Clemson, those are the two teams that have done the best job. “They just didn’t leave him to help or do anything. Away (from the ball) on defense they just stay with him the whole time.” 3 - Jay Bilas (you do know who he is, right?) ND went "Box and One" against SU's Trevor Cooney, but made a critical error. Irish should've put the Box on Cooney, the One on the rest. Now I wonder...What is your interpretation of playing someone box on one? I hope its as good as your analysis of face guarding which was: I also call a defender with his back to the rest of the court and facing Cooney within a foot of him a defender that knows he is defending a one-dimensional player that isn't even that good at his one-dimension. Given that one of these D1 head coaches is our own Jim Boeheim, I am still wondering how you have missed these types of remarks. Now for Atlantis... :rolling: [/QUOTE]
