Grantland

Essentially, they emphasize shooting 3s and short 2s while playing breakneck speed. Their 120 possessions per game exceed by 10 even the Mike D'antoni Seven Seconds or less Suns


They are #1 in the NBA D League and are just crushing teams. Score some 123 points per game.


At the very least, we would have exciting basketball

That could actually help make up for the talent discrepancy, almost like the HUNH does for some teams. Focus on shooting 3s and rebounding, it could work.

This is what Mtn. Brook does now. I grew up with the coach there. They won state last year, lost pretty much the entire team, and have made it back to the final four again.

I would be fine with a hire like that.

I'd rather have a coach that's renowned for bringing in great talent.

If KU can get incredible talent to move to Lawrence, KS then we should be able to get someone to bring those same type of guys here.

We need to quit messing around and just offer the next Calipari a huge-arse blank check.

Didn't Troy do this a while back? I remember reading an article about their practices which consisted of them running track.

I don't think we will fire Barbee this year. If we do I expect us to try to hire a Duke guy again and the only one early enough into his coaching career that would take the job is Bobby Hurley. He has done a good job in his 1st season as a head coach taking a team that was 14-20 last year and has never made an NCAA appearance. They currently lead their division in the MAC and are 16-8 overall and 10-4 in conference.

I thought the exact same thing and almost did this thread when I read that article.

Crazy to think this is where our expectations were a month ago, don't you think?
