[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 285954, member: 2458"] We're seeing good coaching this season for sure. From the Shorter game to today, this may be the most improvement I have ever seen in a team (in fairness the bar was almost touching the ground after the Shorter game). It's clear CJP and staff are recruiting hard and has chances to land more talent than CBG - we need to give that a year or two before passing judgement as he got such a late start in the spring that many CBG had not recruited already were too far in their decision process to give GT consideration. On-court success and development of players already here helps accelerate this. As for the coaching, I think CJP has done a very good job, but a lot of the credit needs to also go to the assistants. They were each hired for a specific purpose. I was at VT game right behind the bench, and one observation I hds was the different roles each of the three had during the game. I could overhear some of the things/adjustments/strategies they recommended to CJP ... he listened and took most of them. Part of being a good head coach is getting good assistants around you and leveraging their strengths to address any weaknesses you may have. From all I have read, this was a problem for CJP at Memphis after the initial set of assistants he had moved on over time. As for switching defenses - I think that has been a huge reason for our defensive effectiveness. To coaching staff's credit - they have spent a lot of time working on the zones and they play them well (whenever CBG teams went zone they were usually way too passive). I hope this continues - even as the talent level increases, having multiple defensive looks and changing things can make difference. Zones can and should not be an afterthought. How many times the last few years did teams finally get comfortable against CBG's defensive scheme for the game (worked well first half, we get lead or keep it close, other team adjusts, GT keeps doing same thing, other team catchs/passes us in second half).
