Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 5358836, member: 10435"] I think you misunderstood me as well. I "liked" your original post and I was actually supporting it but I see a different dimension to this team in "combinations" that Geno never had the luxury to use before. Because he is so adaptable, proven by what he does each year with different players, I think he will adapt to the team he has and coach the team he has. So no, I don't see a per se "core" which includes 3-4 players substituting in and out and 6-7 players only getting in at the end of the game with the offense and defense staying the same. I see a pressing combination, a trapping combination, a big pound it inside combination, a speed combination, a shoot the lights out combination, and others with defenses and offenses to match. These combinations are not necessarily 5 players either. He has actually said as much in an oblique way in a most recent interview. In short, we have never seen a team like this, so why assume he will not think outside the box? Last year he did with "small ball" and we won a NC in record fashion. [/QUOTE]
