Big Guys and Style of Play!

By big, I was actually referring to someone like Stokes or Maym0n, heavy dudes, not tall dudes. Both were slow enough that I don't think they would have fit into a defense that pressed the entire game.

I agree on that, the height issue isn't as much as the weight issue. I don't think Tyndall has anything against 6'9"+ guys, he just demands his "bigs" to be athletic.

Anybody ever thought you might not want the really big guys if you press the whole game? My guess is conditioning is key. Coach T goes 9-10 deep to maintain that relentless pressure. Saw it watching the Missouri game. The last thing you need is a big guy a step too slow! Looking at the 9 guys with a minimum of 18 minutes, the biggest were 6'5" and 6"7", both weighing 230. That is not a heavy body for that height.

No Seniordrill, here's the deal. If you're 6'10-7'1" and you cant dominate, there's no reason to show up.
