observations on what ed cooley's friars do on-court
also i've seen them play in like 3 big east games, but didn't take notes on them...was watching the other team more intently.
sacred heard
off
pounding down low to watson
running some flex with watson and 14. Watson will pass out of it too.
...on flex, hit flexers
on watson, wall off. still not a great shooter but better. don't want him killing you inside. maybe front.
def
transition def is good this game
sagging man
...move ball. giving up early 3's
players
watson posts ahrd, rolls hard
bynum is tasked with leading and scoring. will drive. will spot up from deep. goes to cup on breaks
...throw multiples on him. be physical. understand his tricky, not fast.
minya will midpost. also runs floor. will aback down drive and provdy clears out
goodine big guard/win will drive and attack
back up point guard (24?) is slower.
...go at him. also makes working bynum that more important
Wisconsin
off
flex around the lane
...hit the cross-cutters. they use it to free watson sometimes. generarlly they like to use it to free watson 1 on 1. understand that and double him. on the move
will five out depending on personnel.
four around 1, many times being a watson iso
runs multiple pistols, screen and replaces in a possession
...stay attached
def
2 2 1 3/4 back to man
man 2 man
1 2 2
will zone. 2 3 matchup
...post their guards they are susceptible.
players
1 will outlet and push. beware
bynuym is on the controls
...will overpenetrate. not a finisher. make him a shoot over length
durham will lift and hit off pindown.
mainya will give offensive punch and is active defender
breed will hit off replace/lift
watson better shooter. drop steps, finishes.
texas tech
off
horns to 4 around one with watson. also to high/low
when bynuym isn't there no real pg

...deny it. have backside help
flex cross screens for watson to get internal edge
pistrol up/pin down to watson for 2 dribble pull up
