You guys missed a great game, Josh Allen and Jared Goff tore it up.

I was smart, I saw it . If GT "wins" a game then I go back and watch it.Our product put out now doesn't overcome the angst received by watching it real-time,.

Tech has produced a fair share of committed and tough players, with the most recent being Jose Alverado, who would run through a wall to win. The AJC compares the current team's first ten games being 4-6 with that of that of Bobby Cremins' first team in 1981-82. I will also compare these two teams. Bobby's team started out 4-6 as Tech today. Tech beat 7-2 Maryland on the road as one of their four wins. Their six losses included three other ACC teams, the last being Clemson at home. That game showed the toughness and desire to win, as the Journal reported below. In a 5-point loss, 6' 5" Sandy Spring's point guard Brooke Steppe played with an injured leg and ankle, re-injured it late in the game, and continued to play to win. His toughness and desire motivated the team to a 10-16 season with Brooke on the ACC All-Tourney team. The next year, he was on the first team All ACC team. He was drafted in the NBA first round 17th overall and played professional basketball for 13 years. I think that is the continuous commitment you mention, Peacone36. It is easily recognizable.

Jose left what? 3 years ago? A LOT has changed since then.

My meaning exactly. Why ruin a Sunday afternoon by watching an ASUN program try and compete in the P6

Can we run the bawl in basketball?

As a matter of fact we ran a 3 man weave of the guards, which set a screen with every pass. I had forgotten that.

I remember that as the weave too. Coach Hyder had the weave as well as other offensive set patterns he called the flip flop, the California, and the Kentucky. Without a 30-second clock and three pointers, we still averaged 80 point a game and shot over 50% per game. As well, we had a dominant player in Rich Yunkus. Fundamentals and movement on basic screens and cuts were part of each offense. Being closer to the basket, rebounding was also good. Defense was a either a man or zone depending on the opponent, and at times alternating every time down the court. The reason we could have success with all that was that 99% of the players were there for four years and team unity was never at issue.

As Pecone said, things have changed since then. And I thought the four corners against Dean Smith's UNC team was a strange offense. From what I have seen and have heard that Tech now does is the five-out motion offense, a combination of the Princeton and the triangle offense with fast ball movement. The Celtics used it when Coach Stoudamire was there.

This Celtics video should should show the intent of this year's Tech team. .

I will be on the lookout for this next game. Sorry for being so verbose, but I have scratching my head all year to understand our team.

The four corners. Phil Ford ran it for Smith. No 3 pointers back then. If UNC had the lead with about 5 minutes left, you could expect it. That offense was one of the main reasons for the shot clock. I hated it, but it was very effective to burn clock, force fouls, and create layulayup. Ford would take his man one on one when he had an opening or got fouled. He feasted on the foul line. An extreme of this five out idea but no shot clock then.
