True. Equally true: You can have the greatest offense in the country but it doesn’t matter if you can’t outscore your opponent.
Please forward this article to Steve about how Hurley adapted to a new offensive philosophy
- Thread starter snowboarder
- Start date
the article states Hurley specifically did NOT use nba concepts, except maybe the warriors
I bring this back up top because those of you who haven’t read the Fox sports article should. Connecticut’s employment of science and analytics is a difference maker that has proven successful for them. They have an Assistant Coach dedicated to this approach to the game and they prepare their players with 2nd and 3rd option plays based on what the opponent defense has set up. And they practice it so it becomes second nature. So while we debate whether RU has offensive plays, Connecticut is light years ahead is knowing what to do and how to adjust. Watch Connecticut and you will see a lot more confidence in their execution. It’s not luck, it’s a system with practice and teaching and how to adjust.
It also explains why teams with talent fail.

Please forward this article to Steve. It's 17 child stars from the 80's and what they look like now. You'll be shocked and amazed.
Irony right?
Seems to me Hurley literally stole from Pike at last minute.
Former RU coach no less.
For shame.
Really stupid post.
