Please don't mention Paul Westhead. Watch the 30 for 30, "Guru of Go" and maybe you'll know what you're talking about. Westhead won an NBA title, with the Lakers, a WNBA title with Phoenix, and he had a chance to win an NCAA title before the death of Hank Gathers at LMU. 
No dispute that he was up-tempo- they were instructed to shoot between 4-8 seconds on the shot clock. But his team was the best conditioned team on the court 100% of the time. They counted on fatigue eventually catching up to the opponent. "Watching the opponent bending over and grabbing their shorts". And they played great pressure defense. And Gathers was an absolute beast inside. He scored 40+ against Shaq when they played LSU. He led the nation in scoring and rebounding.
Long story short- I didn't see any of that yesterday. I saw 57 hoists from beyond 3. Zero athleticism. Zero defense. I didn't even see 5 players transitioning from defense to offense or vice versa. I saw YMCA crap and UConn made their strategy look like what it was- farcical.
