I'm a bit worried that we might have a blast shooting threes, but then we'll get totally crushed in a lot of games when we try to pressure full court. Buzz's style kept us in games even when we were outmanned and reduced volatility with the stifling half court d. But this new style will definitely make things more exciting yet unpredictable.

I'm hoping Bucky will be slightly better at adjustments than Buzz and we won't stay in a press the whole game if we're getting killed in it

Yeah, we're probably gonna get killed sometimes, especially next year. One thing I like though at Samford is they didn't change who they were just to keep a score respectable in non-conference.

You play the way you're going to play all season because that's how you get better. I give Buzz some credit for doing that too.

But Kennedy would sometimes change it up in early games and do stuff that didn't make us better but would keep games close.

Buzz maybe don't get "crushed" on the scoreboard, but he certainly lost many at the end when he couldn't figure out how to get a bucket with 8 minutes left. Pick your poison.

With Buzz it was more losing to teams we could have beaten if we tried to just play normal basketball.

I watched the Samford Kansas game in the tournament last year and noticed that they did drop back into a 32 zone to change things up. But it can get out of hand really fast against talented teams that break the press with relative ease.

Why play normal basketball when you can play weird basketball? Variety is the spice of life.

Yep

Buzz kept us close most of the time and we could beat better teams because of it, but we also lost to worse teams because of it
