Would "havoc" work in the B1G?

[Dr.Don]

Shaka's "havoc" is reminiscent of Nolan Richardson's "40 minutes of hell" at Arkansas, and that worked pretty good.

Call it what ya want, but 94 feet X 50 feet of total out and out hustle sounds fun to me.

I actually always wished we used the full court press more under Tubby. In case anyone hasn't read it, here is an awesome article about full court pressing the entire game - Malcolm Gladwell called "How Underdogs Can Win"

Are we playing 12 year old girls next year?

I can confirm that we're not. Fortunately I did not say we should press the entire game - just that I was a fan of using it more often. I agree with the premise of your article - obviously the press is a better strategy as a "David" than a "Goliath". Against teams like Wisconsin where we were inferior in the half court but clearly superior in the full court I think this could have been a good strategy

In general, I like mixing up offenses and defenses. This applies to every sport. It applies to playing checkers. You can't let anyone get a bead on what you're doing.
