[QUOTE="iceeater1969, post: 551014, member: 1237"] It's like old school basketball - work the ball for great shot then fall back for 2 3 defense in the paint. You hope they miss and u get all rebounds. No fast break on long rebounds and above all dont try to steal ball or trap at mid court. And never full court. Now make every foul shots. When they miss 2, we win. The short old guys can hang w the kids at the gym. When applied to fb and our rush option with less than dominant talent, we tried to A never make mistakes,B move the ball while burning clock C stop them by keeping the play in front of us till they were in red zone D hope they make a mistake. This translates to regular 7-5 years. Add a few talented guys and you are 9-3. Then like in the gym the other guys do something like have a snow bird who doesn't come down on d and he gets easy scores. Then we double dribble and are behind. But we arent able to fast break. Then more and more teams press us full court. Now if gt had recruited some beast defense guys - and said go get them, we could have put pressure on the other team when we dont have the ball as well as well as when we do. That ends up as sometimes 5-7 , still a a few 7-5 , some 8-4 or 9-3 and a few 10-2 or 11-1 . The safe road w limited talent is the TO w the bend break. Trouble is you cant ATTRACT d talent doing this. The elite road is the TO w the aggressive defense. Kids want to play aggressive defense. Even the Air Raid figured out its defense had to be aggressive so they got off the field. I hope coach gets another p5 opportunity at a place that recruits some serious defensive talent. [/QUOTE]
