This hire is a total headscratcher to me. The guy has never coached (has he ever even lived?) in the midwest, and he's a Herb Sendek disciple. Unless he has a completely different offensive philosophy than Herb they are going to run a slow princeton offense and a zone defense. Didn't Drake play man last year? I mean it seems like they still have some very quality players on that team and totally changing the system might create a rebuilding project there.
Last year NC State was the 325th slowest team in the NCAA. Two years ago they were the 327th slowest team. NC State only broke the top 200 once in Tempo and that's a conference that runs.
I mean I could be wrong but it just seems weird to bring in a guy with a completely different system than what they had currently been playing.
