Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 4512099, member: 6357"] I mean, you have to have a good defense. You can’t win in college basketball without it. That’s undeniable. Look at Notre Dame or even Cuse the past few years (we’ve had top 20-30 offenses for several years running, but paired with horrid or mediocre defenses). But I totally agree that JB’s “keep it simple” offensive philosophy isn’t the right approach for today’s game, especially when you don’t have lots of elite talent. I think he’s just fallen back on old habits and doesn’t like to overcomplicate things. Which is a mistake, imo, when you don’t have stellar talent. I’d love to have a Beilein, Painter or Greg McDermott type coach running a great offense. That said, you need good defense as well. [/QUOTE]
