Roast me

[Colin G]

We should go double bigs

AK couldn’t stay with his man against Creighton, so yeah, putting Reibe in there to chase him around the floor was definitely the answer.

 

[TWRpastabar]

We should go double bigs

Dwayne Koroma and Rrezon Elezaj

 

[Trudy Gay]

If we play Michigan maybe…

 

[Greedo]

Shouldn’t you be on the nova board?

 

[UCann]

Double bigs but also play zone.

 

[Deepster]

You’re stupid and no one likes you.

 

[2014DualCs]

Double bigs might be the most braindead solution on planet earth.

Tell me you don’t know ball, without…

 

[Mr. Wonderful]

How about no bigs at all?

We don't have rim protection anyway, so what's the difference?

 

[Dove]

Roast you? Who are you?

 

[Windham4th]

Why stop at 2? 5 tallest guys on the team play

AK was injured though, not saying double bigs is the answer but AK shouldnt have been playing. Teams are pulling Reed away from the paint and we have no rim protection

The fact that Dan Hurley couldn't lean on his 3 year home grown backup 4 more was telling..........

 

[80shusky]

Five Bigs Is The Way.

 

[TheShot1990]

Scrimmage the 5 tallest guys against the 5 shortest. Winners start. (The shorter ones will crush the bigs).

 

[TheRealKBuks]

We should go double bigs

 

[TerryBoyz]

why go with 2 bigs and 3 smalls are more fun?

 

[NJHusky]

Double bigs but also play zone.

I dare y to say that to Dan Hurley.

 

[XLCenterFan]

It’s too easy.

 

[Scottobot]

I don’t understand why everyone is against it. It is more about playing your best players, and Reibe has more talent and has played better than Stewart. Michigan is playing 3 bigs.

 

[FreeKlaiber]

its not as lunatic crazy as the board makes it seem, but Danny will never do it, except maybe if we see Arizona again

I agree we won’t see it, because it would have made a lot sense, each of the past 3 years and we didn’t see it.

 

[Jaydumo20]

I don't know. I'm kinda into it. I used to stack my 4 man line with 4 fat polish dudes in Nintendo Hockey and melt faces with the slap shots. All day

In general opposing teams are NOT "pulling Reed" [and Reibi] to the perimeter.
Rather on defense they are often chasing guards and forwards around at maybe 20
feet from the basket simply because Hurley tells them to. Does that typically
help or hurt our defense? We know Hurley is a great coach...we also know he can
be stubborn.

He described our defense as a joke. So...why not get serious at 5:30 Saturday against
'Nova and make defensive adjustments during the game so we play at a higher level if and when they
are needed?

The answer I'd go with is that our/Dannys whole defensive identity is based on high pressure attacking man D, and our offenses utilize 4 or 5 out sets. So 2 Bigs doesnt work on either end. I would counter argue that our roster hasnt been constructed the last 2 seasons to be effective with the defense he wants to play (over extended, no help man). So, here we are, having same discussion about our man D that we had last yr.

I'd say Hurley's biggest weakness as a coach, after the stubbornness, is the lack of ability to make in-game adjustments. Going all the way back to the Kadary Richmond road-grader game. Not sure why but it's maddening......

I would argue that Reibe could do what Karaban does on defense. I would also argue that Reibe could do what Stewart does on offense. I think he could sub in and play those roles without issue.

I somewhat understand it offensively. Reibe reminds me a bit of Danny Wolff - you get some nice big man offensive initiation. But - then you get both bigs in foul trouble and collapse down the stretch.
