Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 3748886, member: 833"] My criticism is about all modern coaching. I think a lot of coaches are reading the analytics incorrectly. I think that is somewhat true of Danny Hurley, who likes guard heavy lineups but doesn't really commit to an analytics offense that has precise spacing and reads. Hurley plays a throwback offense in a lot of ways, particularly with the freedom he gives his players, which is fine, but if he is going to do that, he should have a throwback lineup out there. Penetration is a lot more effective when there is a 6'9 guy to screen and roll or drop to the weakside block to clean up the misses. The difference between winning 24 games and winning 19 games is not that big. Two more plays per half could be the difference between a 3 or 4 seed and being poised for a deep run, and an 8 seed and a first weekend exit. Increasing the shooting percentage a few points with better shots could be all it takes. [/QUOTE]
