[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 718058, member: 2784"] Just to pick a bit - I thought his comment was "on defense" effort was more important than scheme. And assuming that you are at least competent with scheme I agree with him - for defense. Whatever scheme you run requires the second and third rotations, help/recovery, rebound etc. that is all about effort. That is essentially the same whether you are running a conservative pack line type of D or more an aggressive 60 min of hell pressing D - with the obvious increase in energy required to do the full court press. Both are still about effort to help and recover and rotate and rebound and .... I don't think it is as much a differentiator on offense - recognizing that you still have to work. It is more about skill, movement, and yes scheme. I didn't think he was saying it was but won't die on that sword. I thought he was also pretty astute to point out that effort on the defensive end is often tied to success on the offensive end. It is ungodly hard to get consistent effort on the defensive end when shots are not falling on the offensive end. In fact, some of the most impressed I have been with Pastner has been when we continued to play really hard defense while our offense sucked sooooo baaaaddddd. That was impressive. With all that, he is still going to have to change the defensive scheme next year given that we won't have an all ACC defensive center for the first time since he has been here. Going to have to be much better at stopping penetration and will have to get good at doubling the post - whether it comes from the weak side (ala UVA) or from the ball side - we are going to have to help the center instead of looking for the center to erase every mistake. That will take energy. Hope we can improve our scoring enough to overcome what I expect to be a slightly worse defense and as he said keep our energy on defense at a high level. [/QUOTE]
