As the topic states, how many offensive sets (or plays) do you think players need to learn under the average D1 team? What about Hurley? Does he teach a lot of sets/plays?
I ask because I overheard a basketball player talking with his team mate, wondering if coach was mad that he missed practice.
The team mate who was at the practice earlier that day said: "Well, we went over many of the plays we are going to run for the year during todays practice so likely yes" he responded.
The player who had missed the practice was apparently new to the team and asked "Well, how many offensive plays does coach have?"
The team mate said "Maybe 25."
The guy who had missed practice was super shocked -- "25??? Realllly? That many?? Wow!!"
So it made me wonder, is that (25) actually a whole lot? Or do many of these D1 teams (or Uconn for that matter, the Ollie years not withstanding) learn that many plays in a season? I know even on the middle school bball team (I played for two years) we had to learn at least a dozen, maybe more.
