Woodson refuses to adjust his philosophy on how the game is played today. Most likely why he failed in the NBA and why no one in the NBA wants him. His offensive sets are awful

Woodson needs to go - with all this supposed talent we look terrible. He. just. is a #i3&ty coach. His offensive looks the SALY - everything through the post and shooting and ability to use 3 still questionable
Which is nuts...known fault in the system and it hasn't been addressed.
My first year at Knight's Summer Camp...was Woodson's senior year...and in the dead of summer in the Fieldhouse...hundreds of young men practiced "boxing out" ... so I know Woody knows the drills.
Good grief.
He’s spent the last 30 years in the pros. They don’t box out in the league.
It was one of my few attributes as a HS basketball player....lol
had a feeling that was the case, that memory seems to have stuck with you, did you ever attend a camp less fun than the rmk camp?
Took my son to the game. Thought the crowd was good sized for a game like this, with a lot of students. But it was a very dull and sloppy game. If the other team could hit an open shot, it might have been close. I hate to say it, but this looks like another Woodson team from the past few years. No idea what they are trying to be. Sometimes trying tempo. Sometimes trying to play through the post. Looked like a lot of confusion on offense. Coaches looked to be sitting on their hands most of the game. A lot of substitutions - maybe they are trying different combinations early in the year? Looked a bit better towards the end with the ball in Galloway's hands. I don't see how this team will compete with talented and disciplined and motivated teams. Maybe it's me and modern college basketball is something I don't understand.
Basketball camps were a blast...I went to Gene Keady's, Dean Smith's, and Dick Baumgartner's.
I could not rank a bball camp. They were all great.
Actually, a big infusion of how the NBA game is played nowadays would help this team tremendously. Anyone who makes posts about all the old NBA gripes like not playing D, not blocking out, 1 on 1 ball, shows immediately someone who hasn't watched an NBA game in 5+ years. I suspect it's the salaries, but the level of dedication and commitment from players has risen tremendously over the last several years in the NBA. The difference between what NBA teams are doing on offense and most college teams is like the difference in watching an NFL team's 2 minute offense vs college. If you liked UConn's offense, you'd like most of what you'd see in an NBA game currently. Sadly, because I love college ball, it's just way better bball right now. I don't love the NBA either, but my son is a huge fan and I watch many nights with him, and it's just better fundamental ball.
