but I think that is really the crux of the argument.I mean, I don't necessarily disagree with your point, but this is true for every system more or less.
when you're playing a team that is - at least on paper - superior - if you want to give yourself a chance to win, a lot of coaches will pull out all the stops. break your tendencies. throw everything you have at them - trick plays, you name it. even if they lose, they get credit for trying something different.
Fleck sticks to his guns. he doesn't deviate from the system.
You can credit Fleck for believing in his system - but you can also question Fleck for his unwillingness to deviate from the system WHEN that system isn't working.
Just once it would be fun to see the Gophers go out of the box. but I'm not going to hold my breath while I'm waiting.
