defensively
screen and roll coverage: zoning it. not a real hard hedge or switch with spellman in game
---pick and pop. heck do that anyway, as your best shooter (derrickson) is a big, and maybe 2nd best (govan) is the center
spellman will protect rim
---bigs, go at him. get him out the damn game.
they sag alot in man, but do come out vs five out with shooters (xavier). shows 2 3 matchup in short spurts active with it.
---exploit the interior mismatches guards have to deliver ball, under pressure. keep pounding it inside, no dumb jacks by guards. pass out of doubles (govan), which has bee a problem. a few made shots will help.
switch on ball screens if possible, particularly when smaller lineup brunson will even do so in 1-5 pick and droll...fronting bigs and guarding them in paint.
---exploit the mismatches. immediately. guards can b.s.
might throw full court pressure (if down...think 2 2 1), and applies good man pressure on ball.
---enough with the dumb turnovers. make the extra pass, as they are likely to have feet in the paint. in fact two extra passes.
offensively
iso with spellman on four around one. he can go over left shoulder. also can hit solid midrange shots. have to meet him.
---govan and derrickson, play him. meet the challenge.
when no spellman, five out.
--- dangerous...mad spaced have to stay attached. Brunsone will drive alot in this, but have to TRY and keep him out lane, he keys it all. maybe the closest help comes hard, making him pass to the deepest guy on that side. have to communicate. use some zone to mix it up
always keeps their pace...which is faster than before
---press and trap them...to keep them uncomfortable. throw different defenses out there. press
they love to drive and get into lane on jump step
---first off don't get beat. hahah. wall off at rim. other defenders, if it's a stretch you can defend the driver, stay with your man.
pushes hard on stops
---get the hell back. plain and simple. also make some shots (simple..haha), tamp down on their running.
brunson will post too. gets into paint. hits jumpers. never sped up. finishes, finds. takes charges. tough as hell. best pg in nation to me. does it all! has toughness.
--- look, if the gtown guards want to stop people from saying they suck, guard this guy. wall off at rim (govan, stop b.s.ing). maybe at times double from odd angles. show him zones, presses. make him work and hope he misses
team will skip/find for long shots on break
---don't lose guys on the wings. know the scouting report, as you can't leave bridges open there (or anywhere) anymore. help off dante d or paschall before bridges.
screens and replaces.
---guards have to be aware and help off that. the guy checking the replacer can't fall asleep or get pinned down anticipate it.
the whole team looks to find...especially brunson.
--stay attached.
