@drgnslayr I’d add that we still haven’t seen a ton of defensive wrinkles this year as we often have in the past. How many times have we switched to a zone? Any box and 1? Or my favorite Bill self special, the triangle and two?
He’s certainly done some innovation and reinventing on the defensive side of the ball as well. We switch 5 (a thing I don’t see many other coaches doing). It seems like as you pointed out there are certain games where there’s a bigger emphasis on getting into the passing lanes. He’s also really mixed it up with bringing doubles or not against post feeds. Some determined by personnel. But when those doubles come and where they come from have also been interesting to watch. I’ve also like some small adjustments this team seems to be making within the switch five system. The communication is getting a little better to prevent the worst type of match ups with say Juan or Joe buried behind a 6-10 monster. They’ve been switching on the screen and then switching away from the ball to get one of our bigger guards into the post. Doesn’t happen all the time but something to watch. I think these situations could be contributing to the players playing on the gaps as you mentioned. Guys like Kevin and Jalen are being asked to really anticipate what’s happening and help the helpers helper type stuff. As this progresses I can see our defense really turning it up to end the year as those guys get into the passing lanes and really get a good scout on opposing teams down the stretch.
In my never coached anything more than 7th grade girls basketball mind wonder if there isn’t some box and 1 type defense that could highlight Kevin’s ridiculous anticipation ability. Like he’d be the one outside of the box but his job is just to figure out what the other teams plan is and blow it up. I know it’s not really feasible but I’d love to see what he could do in a freelance type situation.
Self doesn’t really break out the gimmick defenses during the regular season too often. Maybe the occasional 2-3 because of foul issues, but he usually saves those for the tournament.

He only runs the junk defenses when the regular defense doesn’t work.

Defenses are harder to see change in than offensive sets. I’m sure there are tons of little tweaks BS makes game to game and year to year. Unfortunately I am not enlightened as to what they are. Seems to be mostly spacing and switching as the biggest differences. Bill is good at teaching the guys how to help on defense as well.
I was half expecting a box and 1 in the second half of the OSU game, but other defensive changes shut Bryce down.
-
I think… most of the time, Self would rather challenge his players to step up and guard instead of flipping to gimmicks. And that makes sense… don’t bail out the players who aren’t doing what they should be doing by enabling them to never clean up their act.

The majority of the tweaks to his man defense are going to involve when to switch, going over or under screens, crashing the glass or leaking out on rebounds and stuff like that which is always going to be personnel amd match up dependent.

They’re already projected in on most brackets either as a last 4 in or last 4 byes before today. If they hold on, it’ll be a big win resume boost to have a season sweep of a potential 1-2 seed, but they still need to win 2 of 3 against Florida, Auburn, and Arkansas along with at least 1 SEC Tournament win to feel safe about being in because they currently don’t have the Quad 1 wins or NET ranking to feel good about anything right now.

@drgnslayr You really can see how good of a coach K was after watching this crap show. (Always knew Roy was legit!)
Really? I was thinking the opposite. You put a kid who has no clue what hes doing in for K and they have about the same resume. Duke didnt get out of the first round something like 4 times under K since Self last got knocked out first round
-
@approxinfinity IMHO Duke went from the final four last year to maybe making the tournament this year with all the talent money could buy (both times). I am just amazed at how much they suck now. The OAD approach is a losing approach, but “new Duke coach” (not going to bother to learn his name, he’ll be fired soon) can’t carry his weight at all. I figured they may get one good bounce year like UNC, but not enough carryover talent, I guess. They’re Kentucky pathetic now, just a bunch of talent running around with no coach.
I try to not put too much weight into a oad tournament. If it was 2-3 losses to get eliminated you would see a whole different list of champions. It’s rare the absolute best team wins due to the nature of the beast.

Coach K won 5 national titles in 3 different eras of college basketball he knew how to coach and adaptto different eras. Upsets are more prone to happen with younger teams. Look at the years Self didn’t make it past the weekend and those are pretty much least experienced teams at KU. You can dislike him all you want, but to diminish his accomplishments is just plain ignorance and stupidity.

-
@Texas-Hawk-10 if he knew how to adapt to different eras, and you want to argue he was great throughout his time at Duke, why are you making excuses for him not having success with young teams?
I consider the Nike funneling + OAD + sit out a year on transfer situation to be the last era. He went out limping out of that era, and I think others suggested that Scheyer was taking over some of Ks coaching duties the last few years, but you wouldn’t know it, because the results are the same! My point.
And my assumption is that had that era ended sooner, Coach K would have retired sooner, because over the last decade, he was rolling the dice on OAD talent and friendly whistles and not really developing anyone.
-
Ive broken with the better approach though. That is…
Coach K who?
-
Do I think Coach K can coach? For sure you don’t win 5 national titles without having ability. None of you guys are wrong here. My deal with opinions are simply this, your opinion can’t be wrong but it also can’t be right it is merely an opinion. Opinions aren’t facts but facts change opinions of logical thinking folks.

Why do you hate him? Is it because he won at an extremely high level for so long with several high profile wins over KU during that time? Acknowledging that Coach K won titles in different eras doesn’t mean I’m worshipping him, it means I’m acknowledging that he was a great coach over a very long period of time and was able to successfully adapt to different eras of college basketball.

Name a coach that was/is highly successful in the NCAA Tournament with very young teams? Even Self isn’t immune to that, but since you chose to ignore that part of my comment, presumably because it didn’t fit your narrative, tell me the years Self took very young teams on deep tournament runs? Youth was a big factor for KU in 2021, 2019, 2015, 2014, and 2006 amd not making it past the weekend in those seasons. So don’t pretend that Self is immune from that issue either because he definitely is not.
The OAD era ended a few years ago, in which Coach K won 2 titles, so he did just fine in that era. The current transfer portal era is when he slipped a little bit, but based on his final season, he seemed to be getting a grasp on how to navigate and build a roster in this current era as well. I also don’t expect Jon Scheyer to duplicate Coach K’s success because he’s not Coach K. I also don’t expect whoever follows Self to duplicate Self’s success because they won’t be Bill Self.

@Texas-Hawk-10 You can’t win this argument any more than you can convince a Mizzou or KSU fan that Self isn’t a cheater or an Eagles or Bengals fan that their players should not be alliwed to commit penalties just because it is the end of the game.
Fandom does really strange things to people, whether sports or politics. The hate-K cult is so entrenched that they believe he had mystical powers over referees, just like Reid does over Goodell.

I went to UNC. I hate K and his shit school with a fiery passion. I loved every minute of ending his career in Durham and the tournament. F him

@mayjay Eagles fans have been MUCH better online than Bengals fans. At least in terms of what I’ve seen. Bengals fans will be crying until September.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I’d argue that first round losses to VCU, Lehigh and Mercer were bad.

@FarmerJayhawk one of his worst lies was when he called out Dillion Brooks from Oregon in the handshake line, but told us something else. But lol, it was mic’d up! Then we had to watch that dble screen of his sorry ass and his wife while we were playing last yr. So pleasant!

He had some really Personable players-- -let’s see Grayson Allan was a real role model for the program , then K wants to call an opposing player out when shaking hands and telling the kid not to do that, e better then that when the opposing playe got into it some with Duke lol - - umm clean up your own back yard before you start trying to correct opposing playes. - I sure in the hell don’t miss him either

@approxinfinity I suppose our first round losses in 2005 and 2006 were good, as were our several 2nd round losses to underdogs (seeded 5 spots or lower) under Larry, Roy and Bill?
-
@mayjay no they were awful, but Bill trended up after that. K was trending down for a while now. And, we were getting screwed in recruiting, while he was getting everything he wanted.
Duke has had the most McDonalds All American players of any program.
But none of that matters, because Bill gets whatever he wants now.
Coach K who? Let Duke fade away into nothing, and his name be forgotten.
-
I hated how Coach K made last year about him IMO. Instead of taking a Roy type approach of announcing after the season. I personally think the guy was starting to lose it upstairs. Him going nuts on his own fans for telling Capel to come sit with them.

@approxinfinity he even got to do his own investigations! heck ya Zion recruitment clean!

Sounds like you’re just personally offended that someone can be a KU fan, but not wear crimson and blue blinders and is capable of acknowledging the accomplishments of non-KU related coaches. So grow up and realize that someone can have a different take on a matter than you without getting offended by that take.

Personally, I’ve never disliked a coach more in any sport. Perhaps he was/is different behind the scenes, who knows but I have my doubts. I’m not watching that 30 for 30.
K reminds me of Belichek in that they lack the personable character to connect with. Some aren’t built like that, and K is one of those people.

You were very rude to Approximity, and now you’re being condescending to me. It’s like you have no sense of humor. Quit taking yourself so seriously.
I am being condescending to you because you’re apparently deliberately misquoting me, put words in my mouth, and claiming I said shit I didn’t say, I don’t fucking appreciate that shit or find it funny in the context you’re doing it in. Doing dumb shit like that is something I don’t like regardless if it’s meant to be a joke or not because doing stupid shit like does have actual repercussions.
And yes, I do believe the take of dismissing someone’s accomplishments because of personal bias against the person is stupid which is evidently what made you jump into something that your name wasn’t brought up in.
