Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4994515, member: 974"] I thought that Hurley comparing sending 5 men to the offensive boards to a football coach going for it on 4th down to be extremely revealing. And I had never that comparison before, by any basketball coach. His concept was that the extra possession on offense, for an offensively elite squad like the '24 team, was more valuable than the two points they might give up in transition. It also brightly signaled he had completed his transition from a defense first coach to an offense coach first. He made the statement, I believe, in the JJ Redick piece. I'm surprised it has sparked more discussion. [/QUOTE]
