Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 856964, member: 2265"] Part of JB's success has always been that the 2-3 appeals to kids that don't like to play D or just are not good at it. Wait for it - everybody goes nuts. The 2-3 is the most popular defense in youth basketball because it is the easiest to learn, execute and is very effective. Almost everyone has played it before or during high school so they think they know how to run it or at least where they fit into it. That has to be reassuring for most recruits. JB has taken the 2-3 to a higher level and, of course, he recruits for it. He just knows how to fit the pieces together better than most. I think there is something to the notion that our guys are not naturals for the NBA but I could care less as the NBA is a very different game. [/QUOTE]
