Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
If you dont have the talent to play it, you dont play it.
Seems simple, but I guess not.

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
Yeah URI (tried to?) play Packline. The larger point is UVA which won a national championship playing Packline got smoked multiple times this past season. Obliterated.
Elite D1 coaching has figured out how to destroy it.
It will also be a interesting study to watch what Bennett does.
Does Miller have coaching chops to teach something else? Does he dig in with Packline dogma even tho the results have been awful?
We shall see.
Also a question - are portalpalooza candidates staying away because of the Packline?

For most kids, defense isn't fun to begin with. Offense is fun. Do you think they want to have to learn something that they've never done before that isn't fun?

UVA got smoked because they couldn't make a f'n shot
Had absolutely nothing to do with their defense.

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
With Hurley you didn’t get on the floor if you did’t play defense. That’s how he built the team. He recruited defense (which was the lower hanging fruit) and then developed their offense abilities. It took time but it worked for him.

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
It takes talent and effort to play it.
We didnt have much of either last season.
We are still about 3 beers short of a six pack in order to rectify the issues.
The longer nothing happens the less confident I get when it comes to getting better.
One decent commit is nowhere near enough.
It could come down to the point where the admin and boosters run out of patience with Archie.
If we have to start over with a new staff so be it.
We get the next coach right, things could turn around much quicker than in the past.
Meaning buying the right players. Even UConn has to basically start over with an entirely new starting five.
Of course Hurley will find a way UConn now can compete for 5 star talent.
We can't do that, but damn it we can do better than what we're seeing right now.

But, I doubt our defense becomes amazing all the sudden, but if we can at least he average and then cut down on the turnovers we could have a pretty drastic turnaround.

Go watch the V Tech /uVA game (YouTube)and look at the shot chart….
PackLine is no longer the secret sauce.

And, more fun for basketball fans, too. I appreciate good/great defense but I enjoy great offense more….
Unless of course Rhody returns to the NCAAT winning games 51-49. In that case, I love dominant defense!

And I think he still does that. Just maybe not to the extent that he did when he was here, although, I haven’t paid close enough attention to know with full confidence.
Maybe Dan is getting soft as he wins natty’s and ages.

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
In defense of Archie's packline, we want to score in transition. UVA wants to setup the halfcourt and slow the game down. UVA is awful basketball to watch. It's lifeless and slow on purpose. UVA wants to win rock fights, we want to win track meets.
We averaged 72.6ppg this year. Virginia averaged 62.9.

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
DeanDome, in another thread, posted in passing how we still need to fill the open position on the staff.
Until he made the post, it had slipped my mind the last few days because it has been so quiet as to rumors, speculation, etc.
Anyone hearing anything?

Ok, here is my conspiracy theory for the day...our friend RV has heard who the new assistant is, and it will fall in to category 3 listed below. He's putting this tweet out now to get out in front of it so he can say it was a bad hire once it's announced.

Dont you know we will be good when we're good?
Like in 5 years or so?
Guys like me who have reached the big 7-0 in years may not be around to see it.

Im guessing we found a way around that, just like every other state school typically does..

Re: Assistants under Coach Miller 2022-23
I disagree with that notion.. There's been plenty of coaches who have sat out a year and then come back recharged. They don't lose their connections because they took a year off, these guys are not wired like that. If they intend to coach again, they maintain those lines of communicationRhowdyRam02 wrote: ↑1 month agoIs this good news?
