uconn's source of intel is Pinnochio.

 

[OrangeDW]

Yeah, that dude can’t even get a smile out of JB.

That guy thought he and JB were peers and JB had no clue who he was, lol.

"My source's face swells with pride every time he lets me know that UConn is in good shape here!"

 

[Ggaenzle]

Yeah he’s at Syracuse he was partying with the team yesterday

Well technically speaking, Drago was in pretty damn good shape to beat Rocky.

 

[Trueblue25]

Rocky’s defeat of Ivan Drago was the single greatest athletic feet in our country’s history. His jaw ended the Cold War.

That being said, lets get back to Jackson

Can’t run wo rebounding and a pg who can push.

Haven’t had those pieces for quite awhile.

Running is a mindset. You can run off steals or even after giving up a basket. We don't run and JB uses rebounding as the excuse. The real reason we don't run, imo, is because it is harder to set up the zone if guys are in transition and our entire gameplan revolves around the zone.
We certainly have the athletes to run. We're also not very good at it, and that's being kind. Our guys don't spread out and fill lanes well. Usually it's one guy goes down the lane to the hoop regardless of the numbers advantage (2 on 1, 3 on 1...). It doesn't take a lot of practice time to be halfway decent either. All the way up through high school, we always ran 5 minutes of drills on it at the beginning of every practice - that's all it takes really.

 

[Tony DeFranco]

Pretty sure when we had Scoop, Waiters and MCW we are running off every turnover

 

[Cuse#1]

If I remember correctly all we did was run in the late 80s and 90s and we played zone then

We didn’t play zone to the extent we we do now.

 

[Cuse#1]

Maybe not in the 80s but always played zone in the 90s

Not exclusively. I remember quite a few Bill Raftery, “And the Cuse...man to man!” calls to start the games.

1996 was the beginning of almost all zone, as I recall. We were kinda slow at guard(but tall) and lacked depth, and it was a good fit for that team, which surprisingly went all the way to the finals.

2010 was the beginning of 100% zone no matter what, and recruiting for the zone being more important than offensive fit, IMO.

2010 Orange. All zone, all run

In fairness, he said that whether we were in man or zone.

 

[Cusefan0307]

It all comes back to guard play. Battle and Howard were not good on the break. Either were Ennis or Gbinije really before them.

The last time we ran was with Triche/MCW and teams tried to slow us down.

I remember a lot of “zone with man to man principles” coming from BR.

 

[OrangeDW]

In fairness, he said that whether we were in man or zone.

I remember his call as “And the Cuse...2-3 zone with man to man principles!!” if we were playing zone to start the game.

You magnificant sob you beat me to it

 

[OrangeDW]

You magnificant sob you beat me to it

Yes, but you put more effort into accurately conveying Raftery’s delivery.
