One of my favorite articles each year in The Athletic. Seth Davis gets anonymous feedback from coaches on different teams.
Article: 'They’re gonna get up in your ass': Anonymous coaches on AAC, ACC, Big East and Big 12
UConn: “They’re very, very physical. R.J. Cole plays the point but he’s more of a scoring guard. He’s a streaky shooter. He has to figure out how to distribute. Adama Sanogo has a great presence on the block. You’ve gotta make shots to open up the floor and bring those bigger guys out. They’re bigger than some NBA teams, so you’re not gonna score in the paint on them. They’ve got Danny Hurley’s personality. Scoring is obviously harder without James Bouknight. Tyler Polley is helping out, but if he’s not hitting those 3s, where are they gonna go? Tyrese Martin is their best player now. He’s scoring inside and he offensive rebounds.”
Favorite line from the piece on Syracuse: "They’re like lunchtime YMCA players"
