Message: [QUOTE="CardiacCuse, post: 2970203, member: 6979"] unfortunately i think its a generational thing that these players are less-coachable and that mitigates the idea of the master string-puller coach making micro-adjustments. some of the buckets su gives up are keystone cops level bad...they dont know how to rotate until 2 or 3 years in (if that! - 6 wasnt enough for chukwu) but no one stays that long anymore...and the really good players wanna shine from day 1...(and the y'd better if you wanna keep getting em) so you are trading the zone for mid-major type players who don't wanna stay as long as mid major players do...might as just stop going after top 100 recruits...and find the gems...the actual basketball players who arent nba sized...but then...you gotta ask is the scheme THAT GOOD that it is worth not going after top 100 recruits for????????? in my opinion talent trumps everything...that's why coach K gets titles and even calipari could get 1. thats why SU finally won a title once they got a carmelo level star...and never before or since. there just arent the super long pteradactyl players out there WITH high basketball iq that ALSO know how to play this style of zone that are ALSO great on offense...that arent 1 and dones going to kentucky or duke. Yes...it CAN work...with the[U] exact right players.[/U] without those perfect players it is a sieve...in the age of steph curry it will only get worse...there are gads of elementary kids out there right now who want to be him and harden with the step back 3s...shhheee there are gads of no-name mid major players out there ready to light it up RIGHT NOW. trae young came outta nowehere...steph curry clone. i think setting up to let these guys launch 3 after 3 will get you 19-22 wins and maybe a 8-12 seed on the reg.
