One poster on here is going to have to increase their meds.
Still don’t believe that’s going to happen. Certainly wasn’t the chatter at the game today. Sorry, Kurt, don’t believe this one. We’ll see.

If it is ... I hope that he ditches that canned defense, and hires an offensive coordinator. His brand of ball is boring AF...
 
better players make for better basketball, did you watch the 2nd half, defense leads to offense
I followed basketball nationally for the last 40 years and have noticed that a vast majority of champions have had an offense in the top 3%...

Beard has never had a offense that good in his whole career. His resume looks similar to Crean, one great run, and a bunch of double digit loss seasons. If he hadn't once sniffed RMK's genius inducing farts we wouldn't even be considering him...

Would he be an improvement? Sure .. but we're not hanging any banners with him running the show, unless he completely changes his philosophy. Which is doubtful.

Champions have elite offense, defense first teams consistently lose and get upset in tourney play. Some may make it to final four, but they eventually lose to the elite offensive teams.

I thought winning banners was the goal of this program? If so Beard probably isn't the answer. Offense wins banners.

I've watched quite a few of their games and they don't have a slow or stagnant offense. He uses a lot of motion and their guys use the pump fake more than any other school. Keep in mind that his roster isn't loaded.

Didn't say slow. Has nothing to do with tempo. Virginia had a top 2% offense playing at snails pace when they won it.

It's not efficient enough. This year may be one of his best offense teams, and it has long periods of struggle on that end. In a single elimination tourney that sends teams packing.
