Message: [QUOTE="JohnFSilver, post: 3863128, member: 1618"] There is a feeling in college basketball that coaches can draw up the perfect play. Coaches have, for ages, made it seem like they are special and no one else can do their job. That's ridiculous. A play is a play. Depends on what players you have on your roster. The coach can't make a player make layups or shots. the job is to get them into a position for their strengths to show. UConn scored 50 points in the paint and was 12 of 24 on layups. How is that even possible? What more is Hurley supposed to do? People act like there are secret plays out there and some master chess move that can be made. Players gotta play. Basketball, unlike football, is a player-driven game. In football, the coach matters incredibly on game day. basketball, less so. Baseball? You only need a manager to bring the lineup card out.
