Message: [QUOTE="biobioprof, post: 3343775, member: 8869"] I don’t think that’s right, but my perspective is warped by being too close to be objective. I think A&M under Blair and Vic was getting to be known for high pressure D that some opposing coaches at the time complained was too physical. Matthew Mitchell built up Kentucky on a similar philosophy but that was later. Maybe this was trending elsewhere before A&M but if so, I was not aware of it. The 2008 E8 loss to TN put us on the national map. Adams contribution to changing the game, IMO, was in opening people to the idea that big girls could have a more complete game vs being specialized to play in the paint like the Paris sisters at OU. I think that was more influential than winning the one NC. [/QUOTE]
