Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 3874689, member: 6696"] The 4 criticisms of Hurley that he has changed are things I roasted him for and people told me I was wrong to criticize in the game chat and elsewhere. Coach is a little slow to adapt--frankly, too slow--but he knows the right steps to take eventually. Despite the way we play defense and his demeanor he's actually a pretty conservative guy. IMO our offense still has the potential to go to the next level when we get some more shooters on the roster, and spend an off-season watching film/figuring out some better Xs and Os options. I have heard Kimani has a great offense mind to tap into. We're relying on a lot of individual heroics right now instead of getting creative with the structure of movements/screens etc. We can't really change that now, but I think nixing the weave and letting the guys play FAST has been a great coaching move. Loved that we finally stopped hard-hedging with Sanogo yesterday. We didn't really even use it that much. I think with such skilled bigs these days, our best bet is to use the hedge sparingly and play straight up aggressive pressure defense with smart help rotations. Seems like Hurley started to recognize that last night. [/QUOTE]
