Dont remember him ever running a 2-3 against nova and regardless running a zone against nova is truly stupid just like the packline. Simple man to man would have been exponentially better than the packline even with the lack of foot speed our guys had...packline leaves guys on the wing wide effing open which works great against teams that cant shoot well.

I'm in this boat, I'm excited to see the potential Steele has, definitely agree there's going to be some growing pains, he's going to be learning on the fly in the Big East which is a lot different than the A10, but I think that'll help him in the long run. You're going up against Jay Wright, Wojo, McDermott, Cooley, etc. and those guys have been around a lot of basketball and are good at what they do, the biggest thing I hope for in Steele is that he isn't stubborn and understands when changes are necessary, and makes them. Since he was the mastermind of our offense, I'm excited to watch it continue to grow and us to put up points, but you're right, defense is lacking. He said he's going to address it in the off-season, and I think we have the athleticism finally to put together a decent defensive unit, we'll have to see. As for Mack, screw him, he's not our coach anymore, I could care less what he does at Louisville.
Jay Wright definitely has our number, but it's also interesting that Nova seems to always play lights out against us. I knew the game at Cintas was over when Bridges came out of the gate with 16 quickly, hitting three's over defenders draped all over him. Sometimes there's nothing you can do, but for the most part we were outclassed by Jay Wright and Nova. There's a talent gap for sure, but like people have said no way it should be around the 20 point beat downs it has been in order for us to take the next step. I think we're improving on the recruiting front, but we're going to have to find a way to slow down the Nova machine.

Cmon, outclassed ? How do you explain Butler beating Nova 3 times in 2 years ? Mack just refused to game plan properly for Nova. Plus he let Nova intimidate us last winter at Cintas. Spellman played like a Mafia enforcer in that game. A good coach takes away something from the opponent. The " we do what we do " philosophy is stupid.

How many of those losses by butler are twenty point blowouts and the game was basically over after ten minutes of game time? It isnt just that Mack has continually lost to nova, it's that most of the time, x hasnt even been remotely competitive and it's because mack refused to to properly adjust against them.

This is all very interesting, but what it has to do with “Oral Commits” is beyond me.
Seems to have more to do with oral comments than anything else.
I can’t wait until the season begins and people can start complaint about Steele not having the team prepared and about his lack of game planning for opponents.
I suggest taking the Mack discussion to the Mall....have a drinking contest...last person awake wins. He’s gone. He’s not coming back. Get over it already!
