Our offense is great, but we aren’t the kind of offense he said he likes. Some kids like to play in transition which we don’t do much of.

After watching today he may want to reconsider that preference though.

On the surface it can be inferred that his comments (wanting to play in an uptempo offense) would exclude us but we don't run a
hold the ball to drain the clock stall.

What we run, even though it often uses ~25 seconds of shot clock is a high paced, motion offense that both requires and features athleticism. We also run when the opportunity arises. We just don't force the pace in hopes of generating transition offense on every possession due to lack of ability to run sets and score fromm quality halfcourt opportunities created by passing and cutting.

Kid can contend for a championship or chase a few more ducats at Louisville and miss the conference championship. It should be an idiotproof decision but these things never seem to make sense anymore.

I think our coaches coach to our personnel. We can fast break when we have those types of players. I think with our freshman and with our two recruits for next year, we will be playing faster. Cam, Alex, Donovan dont scream fast break.

Others have pointed out that it’s never really been Hurley’s style throughout his career through numbers. We’ll have to believe it when we see it as far as being the transition team we used to be in the past.

It’s definitely possible because we for sure play the defense to be able to do it.

I don’t think we need to do mental gymnastics about our offense. It’s not a transition offense and that’s what the kid is talking about. It’s a beautiful offense that we don’t need to change and if anything the kid has to decide if he wants to change his preference to it, not the other way around.

Our offense also does not feature athleticism. Newton, Cam, and Karaban are far from being high caliber athletes and they are great in it while one of the best ones in Andre struggled in it for awhile. We can be honest about what this truly great offense is.

Joson is a shooter. He wants a pro offense that gets him good shots. What pro teams run a "transition offense"?

This notion that we don't run at times is silly, too. We have as good a half court offense as I've seen in college basketball in quite some time, but they absolutely run opportunistically and they're pretty good at it. Rewatch McDermott's post-game press conference. Live ball turnovers against this team end up in the other bucket at a pretty high rate of speed.

This is correct. We're 58th in the country in fast break points, but 244th in turnovers. We may not get many opportunities to get out in transition but when we do we take them and usually score

If you're a coach recruiting a player you use whatever stats you need to convince a recruit to come to your school. Hurley could just as easily tell a recruit UConn is one of the highest scoring teams in D1. 29th right now at 81.2 ppg. Most people would interpret that as a fast paced offense even though there are a lot of things that go into high scoring. UConn does it through efficiency.

Anyway, I doubt Sonon is picking a school based on the pace statistics no matter what he said in that quote.

We may play at a deliberate pace, but we are not a plodding offense like 2010s Wisconsin.

We are a complex offense that showcases our players' strengths.
 
He could be a potential reclass for next year too right? Or am I thinking about someone else?

I agree, im just going by what he said.

Our offense is more of a European offense than a NBA offense too. NBA teams don’t move the ball THIS well to pretty much have an assist for every field goal. There’s a lot more iso in the NBA.

Regardless, I don’t see how he experiences what he saw today and not want a part of it.
