Good post, the whole idea is kind of like what was laid at Stiney's feet

wrt too big a playbook. Seems to me one of the fist things a coach does, especially in this NIL 1,2 and done era is to see how well the new players work together. man to man may be much weaker than zone so the coach goes zone. I would think man to man typically wins out in those early evaluations.

That's isnt the same metric...

Maybe they would be 125 if they never switched defenses.**

I’m a big CMY fan. One thing I don’t like is refusal to try to mix defenses
hokiepro • 03/11/26 11:03 PM ET
My favorite too. Would run a 1-2-2 @ half court to trap ball @ sideline.**

Mixing defenses by definition means you aren't going to play either

FSU might play themselves onto the bubble. Clearly been good/hot for weeks.**
