Message: [QUOTE="Billy Jack, post: 4496684, member: 4173"] Did he play the hot hand last night? Did he play the hot hand last night? Did he go into the game planning to play DC for 21 minutes and AS for only 19? You can add Danny to a long list of coaches who don’t like zones, starting with Jim Calhoun. But to wheel this criticism out at this point is odd since he did show a zone last night, something which half this board criticized him for, wanting him to stick with man. I’m not a Hurley fan, but fair is fair. The idea that he can plug to bigs into the lineup, flip a switch and make it work is just far fetched - especially these 2 bigs, neither of whom has even a 10’ jump shot and both of whom operate in the low post. His lan to go with the veteran whom OTHER coaches voted BE POY pre-season and bring the rookie along slowly made perfect coming into the season. He was playing AS 2/3 of the time, DC 1/3, and we were dominating teams down low. But now the fans of the 2 bigs lineup want this adjustment on the fly when one of these guys would have to learn a whole new skill set. I want to see how that works. Did it ever occur to anyone that each of these guys looks so dominant at times precisely because he is the only big in the lineup? [/QUOTE]
