Keeping drivers out of the lane and forcing them to one side of the paint or the other should be a key tenet of our defensive scheme. I’ve watched videos of Mick Cronin’s highly rated, stout defenses at Cincinnati and that is a central principle. It’s also a central principle of the pack line defense (which Griff coached at Dayton), along with strong on-ball pressure. I imagine it’s going to take these guys time to learn all the intricacies and details of Red’s defense and then be hyper-focused on employing them correctly and instinctually. There’s a lot of work to be done and but I think we have the athletes and speed to be successful at it eventually. [/QUOTE]
