We are going to play hard for “48 minutes” I love his attitude and style. Maybe I am saying this as a parent myself, but I bet he’s a huge hit with parents. He obviously is a hard worker. You can see how much he’s getting up to speed. He loves it and is a grinder. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to Bozich and our friend Mike for asking substantive questions that got us real answers. Totally agree. I have a lot of respect for Rick Bozich. He’s still got his fastball. His question was great and led to an illuminating answer. The “I’m good” was so weak. Prepare just a little bit. if you picked 25 of us and let us ask him questions in that format, I bet he’d like it more and we’d get very illuminating answers. We would be getting nuts and bolts basketball questions for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to Bozich and our friend Mike for asking substantive questions that got us real answers. I don't want to be that guy that attacks the media again but these guys don't have serious questions to ask because they have a narrative in their head already about how things are going to go and how they are going to cover it. If by chance it goes the other way...no biggie...I'll just change my narrative and flip it around a start a new narrative. It's lazy journalism.....a bunch of entitled lazy SOBs that have a comfy job and don't want to do any real work for their audience. Credit to those asking the good questions...you can tell who is hungry to bring real content and information to their viewers/readers....not just drudging up old story lines and played out narratives. end rant lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean like when a new HC doesn't know the OT rules in the NFL lol. Kind of hope he doesn't get to the last 3 minutes of the game and go...oh crap..how is there only 3 minutes left and I let this game get away lol. Pretty sure it won't take him long to adjust. Just like when someone picks up their 2nd foul in the first half and Fife has to ask if he wants sit him down....oh yeah only 5 fouls lol. No that stuff won't take long I'm sure...but yes it does give you more confidence if he gets it right in the presser. Hard ass defense...not sure what "style" of defense that will be...or what defensive philosophy that is...not very specific but I have no doubt he will make sure they play it or they won't get on the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM, packline, zone, whatever... if you don't play it hard it doesn't matter. you have to buy in and have pride in it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he does go with the Grab-Ass style defense, it'll look like we're just goofy around the whole game and not taking it serious at all.

I don't think we will play just one scheme on defense which is why he didn't give a specific there, but he did talk about forcing the ball where we want it. That's very much an NBA thing - we are going to scheme our defense in a way that the best one or two players on the opponent can't beat us. Most college teams don't have the guys beyond that to really punish you, so I think it's a solid plan. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most college teams don't have the guys beyond that to really punish you, so I think it's a solid plan. Yeah. Talked about guarding your man and not begging for help. Yeah. I look for Woody to play matchups. Take advantage of ours and like you said...get the ball out of the hands of other teams best players....likely doubling/trapping on ball picks etc. There is a much longer shot clock so you have to be careful. In NBA you can run at guys and force shots from the supporting cast...especially with a shorter shot clock those guys don't have much time to make a play or do much else with the ball...but in college you could run the risk with more time to defend that they can get the ball moving and have enough time to get a really good shot or work it back to their primary players. All in all though I do think there are things he will be able to translate over and help a lot. Just can't say for certain everything that works in the nba will be able to work with inferior talent in the college ranks. Proof will be in the pudding and I'm excited and looking forward to some tasty banana pudding! yum!

I've never seen a college team consistently trap the ball out top to force it out of the best players hands like you see frequently in the NBA - I'm interested to see how it plays out. I can think back to both of our games against MSU this past year, wouldn't it have been nice to force the ball out of Aaron Henry's hands once he got it and make someone else hit shots to beat us late in those games? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
