Message: [QUOTE="Oakland, post: 3115242, member: 590"] Excellent article as you would expect from Esquire. JB said he didn't have enough time to practice MTM in practice. The question is, what defense is the team playing against when it is practicing offense? If it is practicing against a zone defense all the time in practice, that may explain why our offense has looked so bad in recent years (of course it has also looked bad against zone Ds but that is another discussion). I don't think that is what actually happens; the team must be practicing against MTM - the defense it will see in actual games. Does JB not consider this 'practicing' MTM? 12 years ago or so, Bernie Fine stated that the team played MTM 90% of the time in practice. Something doesn't add up. I have never met JB, but the article profile of him matches my image of him very well. [/QUOTE]
