i dont give a crap if they dont have plays. They run and gun and get up the court. Its fun to watch.
Hoiberg--no Basketball plays ?
- Thread starter tubimjf
- Start date
Wouldnt it be a college BB players dream to just go out and play and not have to worry about if you are standing in the right spot fot a given play. He has plays they just didnt feel the need to use them. He has plays made up just for White if the NCAA clears him.

I believe that in his press conference, he stated that he told the guys he didn't want to call any plays "tonight."
That doesn't mean he didn't or wasn't going to, but he wanted them to play loose instead of worrying about where to be.

I am sure he will have plenty of plays. But.....I think maybe with a team that is as limited as this team, it probably benefits them to try and get points anyway they can.
Scotty C said in the post game that it is easier to hit shots when your coach WANTS you to take any shot.
But that style of play will mean we will get blown out more often than we want this year. So if we lose some games by 20 or 30 once we start playing the better teams on our schedule (or even the worse teams) you all better keep it together.

Hoiberg is just buying the team some time to keep getting experience/becoming a team by not giving away anything on tape for others.
I don't think the OP understands how easy it is to manipulate another team if you know how they run half court sets, inbound plays, presses, traps, zones, ect.

You really don't need plays. You need spacing and movement. If you have those two things, you will be just fine.
We ran dribble drive motion all night when we didn't get a shot on the break. He just meant they weren't going to run sets...but I'm sure you knew the difference
I am starting to think that our fanbase leads the nation in 'smartassness'.
Too many threads(not this one per say) ruined by whomever can come up with the most smartass answer.
SAD.

This is the sort of thing people should post in their first few, but not after they've been here a while.
This is the Internet, and this is how we roll. :swoon::spinny:
and if you said this thread wasn't ruined by it, then why did you post it in this thread? Why not find said thread that is 'ruined'? I think you just ruined this thread...

Your point is pretty solid, but I think this thread kind of screamed for it with the poor listening of the OP to Fred's press conference.
Now, discussing the various pros/cons to running a set-play offense as opposed to less plays, that could be an interesting thread.
Until we derail it, which we inevitably will.
IMO the original post dripped of smartassness with the last part of it claiming he can coach as well as our head MBB coach if that's all there is to it. The rest has just been gravy...
