[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 298360, member: 2458"] CJP vs. Gregory ... Recruiting - obvious weakness for CBG was his inability to close deal on high level high school talent. To CBG credit he did outstanding job recruiting the grad xfers - but that is how you fill holes and unfortunately was becoming his go to strategy. CBG did recruit high charater kids - but talent level was not high enough to be in upper half of ACC. CJP - focus on high level high school kids - that can shoot (don't recruit them if they are not good shooters). Too early to pass judgement - but what we've seen so far are the right things (even if he can't close Walker/Tucker this year). CJP's team this year has overachieved (over achieving teams are more fun to watch than talented teams that don't or barely live up to expecations) - credit to him, staff, and most importanly the players for accepting their roles and playing hard. Defensive scheme - Gregory focused on man defense, only used zone as last resort or if in foul trouble. Pregame strategy good, as he usually focused on taking one or two players away from the other team (make the rest beat you). Liked to play 2 'big's which helped rebounding, could be liability in extending pressure ... played passive D - make you take tough shot and get the rebound - did not extend or force many turnovers. Never had great on-ball defenders and dribble pentration hurt us. Teams adjusted to what we did and that contrinuted to second half come backs. Pastner - changing defenses, but really most games just plays one (the match up or man 80 plus percent of the time ... depending on team). Covers up the weaker on-ball defenders with help. More speed on floor (than CBG teams), led to better close out on perimiter ... lack of size and less emphasis on rebounding meant we got killed on boards on occasion. Offense - CJP's adopted a style that fits the players he has ... will be intersting to see how it evolves over time (i.e. will whomever follows Lammers be as good in the high post?) ... we know he is after shooters to open up the floor ... and believes in speed (vs size) and stretch 4 .. which works well in most games. We've seen more movement WITH PURPOSE from this team than we've seen in a long time. CBG was a classic pound it inside guy - own the boards (did good there) ... but really never recruited/had the outside shooters needed for that system to work well .... CBG made less adjustements (from my observation), not sure if he did not because he would not or more likely it was beacuse he did not have weapons to do things much differently. Whether Mbob or CJP - whoever made the decision on the assistants deserves credit - this is a great staff - each has their roles and they are doing great job. Covers up CJP's supposed weaknesses (which is a key role for the staff - hire people that are good/great at what you are not ... and CJP gets credit for knowing his weaknesses (did he learn from Memphis?
