Message: [QUOTE="rugbymate, post: 2113059, member: 5285"] You have identified one of the key elements of a brilliant coaching job by Geno and staff. He has said all along that part of his coaching strategy this year was to hide their weaknesses. You can see it in their defense where they play with hands up and not to foul. Also, you can see they've deployed a switching system that mitigates fouling. On offense, they have virtually eliminated the drive directly to the basket with the shoulder down. They have also relied more on the perimeter game and rotation versus past teams. An interesting stat, which IMO reflects the coaching strategy , is that total assists equal turnovers plus fouls. Most people will think this has nothing to do with anything but I think its a direct reflection of what Geno is trying ton accomplish. No other UCONN team has come close to achieving this so kudos to our team for great execution. [/QUOTE]
