Re: The Coaching Carousel

We had a solid game plan vs Duke - and then Duke showed up. John Wooden couldn't have coached URI to victory against that Duke team. We attacked the foul line which was the only way to go - and then looked for dump downs to the big. Then Andre, afraid of being swatted by their twin towers proceeded...

Just read up on this, but Duke's defensive efficiency rating on kenpom was ranked over 100 into January... Since utilizing their zone predominantly since then ultimately catapulted them to top 10 by the end of the season. Defense is clicking.

This is great, thanks Mike.

I've always wondered: how are those secret scrimmages are scheduled? Do we seek out schools with different philosophies like tempo, zone d, etc? Teams that might be strong in a facet of the game the coach thinks we need to work on? Coach to coach relationships?

Re: 2015 NIT 2nd Round: @ Stanford - Sunday 9:30pm ESPNU

Watched the game, but looked at the box score to see what that story told.

We only had 10 assists... But Stanford had only 3? Can that be right?
Also had more points in the paint, 34-22, which makes the foul discrepancy seem that much more odd.
