Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 2659803, member: 7894"] Interesting question. Maybe, maybe not. I think stubbornness is an affliction most coaches suffer from. Rueck is the same coach that went man-to-man defense almost the entire game against UConn in the 2016 Final 4 w/ Hamblin "trying" to guard Tuck out at the 3 point line. She was completely incapable of doing anything in that defensive assignment, Tuck scored at will, but Rueck didn't make adjustments. Sometimes even really good coaches just get stuck. Anybody other than Rueck that was watching the game could see he either needed to switch to zone or get Hamblin out of the game and have someone quicker try to guard Tuck. If he had simply switched Hamblin to guarding Stewie she would've done the same thing Tuck was doing. OSU had very little chance of winning that game but Rueck's approach on D gave them no chance.
