Message: [QUOTE="Pudge, post: 4113023, member: 364"] Few big conference coaches think like Tom Davis ... which begat Bruce Pearl. The notion that you play 3 PG/wild guys 5'10-6'1 reminds me of John Bagley Michael Adams and that other squirt. Press press. Pull the undersized guards down to the Bigs to slap balls away and rebound. That is all Dr Tom. Pearl plays those three and they disrupt the game and gave the War Eagles a shot. Smith is good. There are mid-major programs that will press and shoot confident 3 like that. The intensity is more with Pearl. When they get their 6'6 best player Flanigan back ... I wonder how they play. We should be thankful TODAY that Tyler Polley came back. Isiah Whaley didn't score etc ... but always is there for the little winning plays. I think Auburn/Pearl took advantage that only Cole could really keep one of the 3 guards held up. Hurley needs a solution as we will see that again. In some form, [/QUOTE]
