Ok...... program as a whole.... much better. I will give MA that. On the court success. SLIGHTLY better. Granted MA inherited a dumpster fire. I will agree with others that say the system he teaches is not as effective as it once was. Not saying he can't win a NC with it. Just that it's a different environment than when Nolan was here. We tried to resurrect 40 minutes of Hell and I'm not sure that is do-able.

The system Mike uses is closest to the system Nolan used in 93-95 it isn't as dependent on the tempo of the game as Nolan's was.

Nolan's true system was closer to McLendon every touch of the ball leads to a fast break style, meaning in bounds, rebounds, steals, everything was a fast break to the basket, you saw this with May-Day here, and a shallow shell of itself with Reid, Hood, Bradley.

The difference isn't the hand-checking rules, its the lack of shooters in today's game. Sure you can find the guy who can spot up behind the arc or the guy who can soar over people for a dunk, finding the guys who can combine that with a 15 foot jump shot? Slim pickens.

The biggest problem is finding players who can score but will also play defense, mainly play hard, sound, fundamental defense.

There are also no roles in a motion offense, there is no hedging for rebounds by telling a kid he can't shoot anything but layups then running sets that puts him on the back side of the basket. Every player in the offense has to be able to score, looking to score, while looking to create scoring opportunities for others, looking to rebound, selfish players will cause the offense to grind to a halt.
