For sure...and after time outs they've come out with different players

Taking the ball out. Avdalas has done it before but he turned it over. Id like to see Bedford take it out sometime but he's also the hardest (along with Hammond) to stay in front of and deny the ball so you lose some of that But most of the time it's after a basket and you don't want any confusion on who is taking it out

Question for @GCHokie34 - What are you seeing against the press
Hokie Chief • 01/28/26 10:16 AM ET
I cant give specifics without going back and watching
GCHokie34 • 01/28/26 10:30 AM ET
FYI, here's a decent video on L-cuts if you're not sure what I mean
GCHokie34 • 01/28/26 03:25 PM ET
Too many catch and turn away from defenders, cuts off field of vision
1980VT • 01/28/26 12:37 PM ET
Great insights on this. Good example

The 4 always takes the ball out
GCHokie34 • 01/28/26 11:43 AM ET
wouldn't neo be a good option to inbounds the ball
VermontDDS • 01/28/26 12:16 PM ET
Exactly!! You must hear me screaming this at the end of games…
VTKev80 • 01/28/26 12:39 PM ET
I don’t get the “4 always take it out”? Is that just CMY system?
hokiepro • 01/28/26 11:51 AM ET
No, that's pretty standard in college basketball
GCHokie34 • 01/28/26 11:57 AM ET
Understand re: reducing confusion but teams also
hokiepro • 01/28/26 12:13 PM ET
I like a guard as the inbounder fo the reason you stated.

GCHokie34 • 01/28/26 12:18 PM ET
At least last night Bedford was in the game.

Non participation of a player can be for many reasons, not just injury.
saret • 01/28/26 05:33 PM ET
There are times I don't think the decision is based on basketball merit
GCHokie34 • 01/28/26 05:15 PM ET
Interesting....but perhaps also to the detriment of the team goal, a win.**
chagerma • 01/29/26 10:00 AM ET
Under 1:00 clock stops after makes so IMO it should be first player to take
hokiepro • 01/28/26 12:26 PM ET
"start your cut as the referee is handing your teammate the ball". Won't .
MidloHokie • 01/28/26 11:35 AM ET
We were coached to never throw OVER the D without at least a low (bounce)
hokiepro • 01/28/26 11:34 AM ET
I don't like throwing over the defense either
GCHokie34 • 01/28/26 11:45 AM ET
Doesn’t look like we screen vs press.
hokiepro • 01/28/26 12:01 PM ET
Screening takes up time and you want to pull defenders away from help
GCHokie34 • 01/28/26 12:10 PM ET
Yes goes to the point of starting when given the ball by ref
hokiepro • 01/28/26 12:23 PM ET
The longer the ball is on the air the more likely a fumble or deflection
hokiepro • 01/28/26 11:55 AM ET
Schutt is very weak with the ball at the end. I see no reason that he
