Barnes' offense and defense?

Thunder Good-Oil · Mar 30, 2015

What's he run? Man to man, zone, or both? Press much?

His offense sounds a bit dull. But Cuonzo and Donnie weren't exactly lighting it up.

JohnMcA60 · Mar 30, 2015

From what I've watched his defense will play to match up against the team. Played zone against Kansas this year with a hard half court press before it for a half and then switched between a Full court press plus man to man and a zone the rest. He isn't set on one defense.

Check his Ken Pom stats. Best way I have found to judge.

So three pointers will be defended. Yes!

Let's just hope some of our bigs get bigger. And he brings in a point guard or two.

Consistent top 25 last 10 years if you throw out the 2012-2013 season.

Yep. His zone extends quite far at times. Definitely a defensive coach who relies on raw talent to help his offense. Not saying his offense is bad but Defense> Offense for him

ainge10heisman · Mar 30, 2015

Well if we got another defensive minded coach at least his mind isn't set on playing just one type of defense.

govols120 · Mar 30, 2015

Mostly man, throws in zone from time to time for quick spurts like any good coach. When I have time I'll watch some Texas games from the last decade for offense stuff.

I lived in Austin from '90-'02, so I witnessed Barnes' as he transformed a mediocre program into a perennial SWC/Big 12 powerhouse. Watch an ACC type multiple offense with versatility in matchups and truly intuitive switching of defenses, and you'll kinda' see rick ball. This is a fortunate hire for us. Welcome to the real UT, Coach Rick!

His teams score way more than Tyndall. 75-84 ppg.

I've watched a few. Noticed mostly the defensive changes.

Amen to this. Cuonzo would just stick to that man to man all game no matter how the game was being played

sport3500 · Mar 30, 2015

I've watched a few Texas games on tv and CRB's teams rebound the ball well and play a mixture of defenses.

Solid hire for UT.

GBO!!!!!!!

People saying things like "he will sleep on it" and most think barring a contract collapse he will be hired soon. Don't be surprised if official tomorrow IMO

And DT stuck to zone no matter what. Personally I hate zone defense.
