I think the all out pressing and trapping style that was a success for us back in the good ole days is only going to be effective today in short spurts.


It all depends on players.

Louisville and WV run a similar swarming defense, but they get better basketball players right now.

There are coaching things that Mike could improve on for sure, but more than anything, we need to improve our recruiting even more than he's already done.

Mike has always confused effort with fundamentals. "If you play hard enough nothing else matters"
problem is they lack the ability to center up the offensive player and defend the rim.
Help defense is coming late and with little rhyme or reason. Nolan's press had a purpose. they set traps, they defended the ball. They protected the lane.
We do none of the 3
