Want to see our playbook?

This is Probably the best playbook I have seen in the last 5 years. Deep, clever, and effective. UConn

I want to know - who is the Offensive Coordinator of the staff? Because the offensive play calling/ set plays have been off the charts better than past years this year.

Some of it is players- but whose the guru? I thought Murray was known to be an offensive mind when we brought him in. Is it Kimani?

It stresses me out when people I don’t like say nice things about people I do like.

How the hell do the players remember all of those

 

[Kenny11]

Damn, point guard should be wearing a wristband

 

[Marat]

Beats our offense of not long ago of pounding the ball into the floor for 20 seconds and then trying to go one on one. I remember some scout said we were the easiest team to scout. Danny has come a long way ! The carpenter .... as Rothstein says

 

[temery]

That can't be real.

A bunch of first year players (transfers and Freshmen) learned and executed this playbook. Hurley recruits smart players.

If it's authentic...What's the upside of this? Reason for releasing it?

 

[aburks41]

I'm slightly concerned that the playbook was just leaked like that...Why would UConn release this to the public?

 

[huskymedic]

Yea, but can Hurley wallpaper your home with the offensive plays he’s run?

 

[temery]

They need to STFU about this nba talk.

I'm curious though, what's the success rate of college coaches coaching in the NBA? I know a lot have tried, but how many have been successful?

The guy has been selling Tournament playbooks for years on all teams. Check his Twitter.

Most every play is nuanced in some way. Doesn’t matter. Plus, nobody is preparing their team to defend 100 specific plays.

I love this game and attempt to be a student of it. Man, would I ever love to sit in on just one of their coaches meetings.

No one is giving anything up…..this guy just watches a ton of ball and can tell which plays are which.

and assuming every possession is an actual play.

Who is calling the plays, and how? I can see plays set up during a timeout, but I doubt every possession is planned out.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Imagine if they had a point guard to run this stuff.

We shouldn’t be speculating on coaches going pro.

My 10 year olds Travel team already has 12 plays.

Off the top of my head:

Brad Stevens - wunderkind who had pretty much immediate success with the Celtics. Maybe didn't get through to the players as much in his later years and wanted a change in lifestyle. Moved to the front office and there is no doubting his basketball acumen.

Billy Donovan - has had two pro jobs since 2016. In my observations his reputation has seemed to fluctuate a bit, but there is no doubt he has been successful.

Fred Hoiberg - didn't work out

Rick Pitino - didn't work out

I would be surprised if Hurley went to the NBA.
