They don't have the firepower to be as good next year, but if they could string two or three tourney appearances together, it might have made a huge difference in the program. Now they might take an extra step backwards. Still, I think this year (along with the rebuilding efforts of Dr. Tom) allowed them the chance to hire someone who might not have been interested before.

Credits: 23,306 | Re: Drake hires new BB Coach 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. 2008 scouting report for Arizona St. |

The difference is they usually pressed full court in some capacity back in to the zone. Herb S is a slow down coach. |

Seems like we work through this, because JP is a master at diverting attention in hires like this.
Just think Rob Jeter and Brian Kelly.

Credits: 193,026 | Re: Drake hires new BB Coach Looks like the AD made not just a left turn but a complete U-turn. This would have been a time when promoting from within would have made total sense. Chris Davis was recommended by Keno and Tom and was responsible for bringing in most of the players and knew the system. If Mark Phelps really is a slowdown guy, there'll be a lot of unhappy players and recruits. This seems to be more about who the AD knew, than what was best for the continuity of the program. |

Regardless if they do completely revamp the offense I think that would be a mistake. They had a good thing going down there and they have the players that fit it. |
