At the dunkers pregame meeting, an assistant coach took Q & A. The questions fielded were in regards to our point guard play (or lack thereof) and our depth (our resistance to the full court press). The coach stated that Nolen would get the start for the Nothwestern game, but if he did perform that would likely change. He said that Nolen has gotten away from what made him so good in the preseason and got caught up in reading his press clippings - 3rd best PG in the country, etc. Stated he was young and will learn. I am a huge Nolen fan and we need him to pass, score, and be the leader. I wonder what his ppg average in on our 7 losses vs 20 wins???
2nd question was why don't we press given our noted depth and amount of players played. He said that is exactly what Tubby is going to do from this point forward - full court pressure and on the ball defense. I think that was a huge key to this win - Nothwestern had a much reduced shot clock and less time to run their offense, keys to their poor shooting.
Just found this all interesting....see if this carries forward.
