Donnieball Taking Shape!

Im not worried about rebounding at all....I think CDT system is not built in the traditional big guy out muscling another big guy for the ball. We will be tall and long 1-5 on the court and our speed and athleticism will be used to get rebounds in our match up zone.

As for the press, I dont think we will have any problems with it bc we will be going against it every single day in practice. I am worried about the PG controlling tempo and getting us in correct spots on offense though.

I wonder what the stat is on wins/losses for being outrebounded.

We will see...

I'm guessing we will struggle some against a press from Florida

Define Struggle Some? This could be stated in every game any team plays.

This is what I am talking about a team that has not played a game or practiced together and you are predicting an outcome with a vague standard. The only Fact is that we play Florida. It is Laughable.

I'm not saying that I wouldn't like a PG with great ball handling skill. I just think coaching and passing break presses more consistanly. This team should have enough tall ball handlers to deal with most pressing teams as long as they don't inbound the ball into a corner and then run away from the guy.

We had tall ball handlers last year too, taller than we will this year

I think we will commit turnovers against it, and will struggle to get across the mid court line in a timely manner against it a few times.

Ahhh so if DT doesn't win at least 19 then you'll have the same level of "passion" toward him as you do CCM, since you're paying it forward and all.

BEFORE his first year? And after...BEFORE his next season...less enthusiastically afterwards...that's what I gave your hero...you going to be able to match that...sport?:neener:

Rebounding out of a match up zone is one of the big drawbacks of the match up zone. If you don't believe me, Syracuse, who was long and athletic 1-5 last year got crushed on the boards using their 2-3 match up zone. So did USM.
Last year Southern Mississippi ranked 13th in rebounding margin in the entire NCAA outrebounding oppontents by 6.5 a game. That is totally opposite being crushed on the boards.

PS Tyndall's match up zone is a hybrid created by him that combines 2-3, 1-3-1, and man-to-man elements to my understanding so as to confuse the opposition into not knowing what the defense is.

You ignored the part about inbounding into a corner and running away from the guy which happened quite often last year.

Part of Zo's hidden genius...only problem...he kept it hidden. :eek:lol:

Good point about USM's rebounding. 6.5 per game is excellent. I was just looking at their R.P.G. at 35.5 which wasn't in the top 100. If they averaged 35.5 per and their opponents averaged 29 per, it doesn't appear that the tempo of the game was very fast.

The tempo is not fast, anyone who thinks it is, is in for a rude awakening.

Dude they run and press all over the floor. None of the stats actually show that, but I know fast tempo when I see it, even if doesn't involve taking a bunch of shots or pushing the tempo on the offense end.

Wait...wut?

I haven't judged it have I? Have I once said he's a failure?


Yes, you have implied that he will be a failure if he does not win X amount of games or that his plan failed if he does not meet X amount of wins.

Maybe not splitting hairs with the "wordsmith" games but your opinion is throughout this board. If he does not win X then he has failed and was not the right coach. You will not go totally there, but you have laid enough pipe to beat your chest if it does or doesn't happen.

All kinda over speculating without a practice or game being played.
