You really think pushing the pace is a footspeed issue?  It is for the guys getting up court, and we have some guys who can fly.  Magic Johnson was the best ever and he wasn't exactly fast. It's all mental, and it's not just PG, it's everyone.  Get a defensive rebound or a steal and immediately think of making an outlet pass to start the break.  Think it, look for it, if is there, execute it.  RJ isn't the problem.  Sanogo, Martin and Whaley are going to need to start the break most of the time.

I do think RJ and our other guys bringing the ball up after a made basket need to do it more quickly.  I think you will see Jackson bringing it up some of the time.

Mostly it's about coaches being ok with the mistakes that occur when you play fast.  Ollie wasn't.  So far Hurley hasn't been.  I don't think Calhoun was late in his career.  If Hurley is going to chew a player out for a long outlet pass that becomes a turnover, guys won't make the attempt and we become slow.
