I wouldn't say "old school" as much as "successful"...

Successful coaches don't divide the time they spend teaching a defense drastically different from their base defense. Coach K didn't Roy Williams didn't Jay Wright didn't Jim Boeheim didn't Mark Few doesn't Tony Bennett doesn't Etc etc etc It is not worth the time spent in practice to have it all negated with a 2 second change in play call from your opponent to attack a zone that is a token zone at best

For at least 1 game.

Agree. Plus Nickel split even time with Pedula because very few teams can
HokieHeartNSoul • 12/14/23 08:00 AM ET
You mean Rechsteiner?**
Pylons • 12/14/23 09:57 AM ET
Nope. Have info from a long-time successful HS coach who says
HokieHeartNSoul • 12/14/23 12:50 PM ET
Nickel splitting time at PG would be completely out of the blue.
Pylons • 12/14/23 12:56 PM ET
That coach is now retired. Lifelong Hokie BB.
HokieHeartNSoul • 12/14/23 02:52 PM ET
Kidd, Poteat, Beran, Nickel, Long and play a 3-2 zone
soflahokie • 12/13/23 10:51 AM ET
Neither ever happens unless CMY is down to 5 players available!!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 12/13/23 05:26 PM ET
U could prob count on one hand the # of times CMY has used zone in career

GCHokie34 • 12/13/23 12:15 PM ET
Point taken GC , though Boehein is a bad example ...
hokeeron1 • 12/13/23 02:23 PM ET
That's precisely the point...
GCHokie34 • 12/13/23 02:53 PM ET
Yeah...my bad. I realized I had misconstrued your intention...
hokeeron1 • 12/15/23 10:41 PM ET
Maybe we could tinker with something like that vs American
Zanderhokie • 12/13/23 09:10 AM ET
For at least 1 game
RiverVT • 12/13/23 08:49 AM ET
Yeah, those are the main things to improve on now.
NC Hoke • 12/13/23 12:04 PM ET
Any gains made offensively would be immediately lost defensively **
GCHokie34 • 12/12/23 11:24 PM ET
Why not add Big Pat also,let all 3 go at it. Can't coach height.**

When I was in high school, there was a team in Pittsylvania Co. that had...
EDGEMAN • 12/13/23 04:46 AM ET
first name Warren I think; Martin I think
VTCALS72 • 12/13/23 05:17 PM ET
When was that?**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 12/13/23 02:12 PM ET
Warren Martin first year at UNC was 81
millmtnhokie • 12/13/23 03:19 PM ET
Ah, yep.

Must’ve been something in the water lol**
Brewing_Hokie • 12/13/23 02:17 PM ET
A lot more football talent than basketball
millmtnhokie • 12/13/23 02:11 PM ET
I mean, 3 of those went on to play D1 basketball...
GCHokie34 • 12/13/23 02:53 PM ET
Good on the kids getting a chance to play ball.
millmtnhokie • 12/13/23 04:44 PM ET
I would have loved to have seen
GCHokieof91 • 12/13/23 02:28 PM ET
TSL Posters: Can't coach weight...**
HokieBrazil • 12/13/23 01:36 PM ET
My goodness, the heaviest HS bball team in history?**
Lancelot Link • 12/13/23 01:30 PM ET
Inflated weights - Chad Beasley was no where near 300 in HS. **
uber hokie • 12/13/23 08:01 PM ET
Bet it was hard to box out those guys!!**
tallahasseehokie • 12/13/23 12:38 PM ET
Warren Martin was the big guy and he actually was a serviceable player
millmtnhokie • 12/13/23 07:19 AM ET
I think Big Pat can be a factor for Tech by his redshirt junior and senior
LXNTN_HOKIE • 12/13/23 01:24 AM ET
Last game in his 2 minutes I thought he blew out a knee 3 times
soflahokie • 12/13/23 10:52 AM ET
In 2 minutes?
tallahasseehokie • 12/13/23 07:31 PM ET
Wonder if he could play the Poteat role?
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/13/23 11:40 AM ET
That won’t happen. He’s not there.
NC Hoke • 12/13/23 12:12 PM ET
I was, of course, referring to the future when Poteat has moved on**
VT ChemE 1986 • 12/13/23 01:12 PM ET
Oh, he has no future at VT
tallahasseehokie • 12/13/23 07:33 PM ET
His foot-speed will not enable him to be an effective D-1 big, IMO. Hate it**
George Baylor • 12/13/23 09:08 AM ET
Cannot do that without one being at least a minor threat from 3
hokiepro • 12/12/23 08:45 PM ET
Poteat is NOT a 4 in any way, shape, or form. He's a spot 5 and does well
ancient alien 2018 • 12/12/23 08:42 PM ET
I can't remember the last time VT had a backup 5 as good as Poteat.**
YBYSAIAHokie • 12/12/23 09:49 PM ET
Kidd put up similar numbers last year
Pylons • 12/13/23 11:44 AM ET
Well, Buzz only allowed his team to have one guy over 6-5**
