There are volunteer coaches all the time. I know a guy who was a head football coach that was hiring a "DFO" he was getting resumes that said they would commit to 2 years of the job for no pay.

DOBOs in college hoops are typically pursuing a master's degree on the house and given some sort of stipend through the University.

Im just saying that a high fcs/low fbs program was getting offers to take jobs for no money. They hired a paid employee im sure.
 
I am interested to see how he thinks the indy500 tempo game translates to the Valley.

Has there been a true, “push and shoot early,” squad in the last 10 years? I know NIU put up numbers w Kittle, but that seemed like more of a controlled, methodical group.

I’m all for being different. It’s about time we be bold and make teams adjust to us than the other way around.

I also like what Schertz says about playing with pace. That doesn’t just mean recklessly fast. It means taking the first, best shot that comes up. It also puts a premium on transition offense.

The “fastest” teams generally struggle. The teams that play aggressive, however, I think thrive.
 
Creighton played more uptempo when Altman was there if I remember correctly. Marshall's teams could but often didn't need to due to having so much more talent than everyone else. They would usually turn it on in the tourney.

Be Quick but Don't Hurry
 
BY the way, and not to hijack a thread, but am I the only one who thinks that Clinks looks a lot like Michael Irvin? It's eerie.

Think of how Drake runs their wide open read and react offense.

I like the comparison, but I don’t really associate them w up tempo - high scoring and a pain to guard, for sure. Perhaps I am trapped in thinking about high volume outlets and push vs early attack in the continuity of the plan

Right. They are the closest we have to what Schertz wants to implement and DeVries does preach read & react which Schertz has mentioned. They had the highest PPG in the league at 76.6 and the 2nd highest scoring margin at 12.4. They were averaging 86.4ppg prior to league play.

I think most of us are wondering how his offense will be able to function in a league that is known for grinding it out. As you see above, Drake lost 10ppg off their season average in conference play. I do think DeVries showed it worked as they kept going even when they lost their starting PG and SF, both of which were All-MVC players.

Recruiting, like always, is going to be key finding guys that can implement and excel in his system.
 
While I hate to see any of them go, all were recruited to a grind it out half court offense which doesn’t sound at all like what HCJS wants to play. So it might be for the best (in the long run) to just cut ties with the majority and let JS bring in who he wants, take our lumps next year and maybe even in year two and then come out stronger in a shorter amount of time than if we kept everyone and tried to put square pegs into round holes for several years.

(I would like to see Coop come back next year though)

I think Stephens and Hittle can fit into JS system. I just want a competitive team in 21-22
Kareem & Josh....go out and get some players...as Jean Luc on Star Trek saz...."make it so."

Still unsure why anyone is surprised that the current roster is transferring, planning to/considereing it. Everytime a head coach is ushered out, there's a turnover on the roster, perhaps if Richardson were given the job, there would be less turnover

This board was FILLED with posts on the transfer scenario if / when GL was gone

Chickens are coming home to roost
 
I’m at the point that if they want to go, go. It isn’t like we won big with any of them.

I am at the same point - if they want to go then go. But people trying to qualify it or justify it or judge it I just don’t get it.

Won big or not - Tre Williams and Jake were easily the best 4/5 combo we’ve had in a long long time.

We’ve got some other pieces that have entered the portal and that I’m impartial toward they are pieces and replaceable. But just brushing off Tre and Jake is ridiculous. Being shitty toward them for looking out for themselves is almost the equivalent of the people on Twitter sending out hate/death threats to the Ohio State player.
It’s just basketball!

We’re not going to be competitive. You can’t have everything in life... I don’t know where you stood on GL quite frankly doesn’t matter but the only chance we had to be competitive next year was to retain GL.

We will be sub .500 for sure. I think we might win 5 D1 games.
