Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2144168, member: 489"] You know I love to disagree with you so here we go (kidding but will again anyway). The kid was lost on D, just like the others. They teach you to hedge, they teach you help defense no one can honestly believe they don't. You run through it day to day, they stop play and tell them what they did wrong in practice, they have the education to do it in games. Steve was no different than AB and Facey, just didn't understand the concept of big men playing defense then add to that he was slow afoot, he was awful on that end. He did show signs of beginning to grasp the concept but was still too slow in reaction time. You can drill it into their heads, if they don't get it they don't get it. Hope we recruit some kids who get it, coaching becomes much easier. He can't play at Virginia unless Bennett suddenly cares about offense, never happen. Maybe a year practicing with a coach who cares more about defense will help him but I just think it's something he will never be very good at, I was afraid of that here of he stayed. Would be an awful choice and would just show you how good they think they are. [/QUOTE]
