Title: Chaos
Post by: CaptainHavoc on March 27, 2021, 02:29:29 PM
I want Chaos!

I didn't see Wojo slap the floor once while at MU.  Felt cheated.

Now with Shaka I'd better see some Chaos!

Close enough.  Problem is there is no pic of Captain Havoc on the 'net.  Closest I could find was Chaos.

The regulations around freedom of movement pretty much ended the defensive sets that Shaka ran at VCU. That's been part of his teams issues. They've struggled to adapt.

This. Tough to run Havoc (or Havoc-style) the way refs are calling games nowadays...you'd have 20 fouls a game. Most teams have moved away from the philosophy because of this.

Really?  Mike Anderson runs something Havoc-y.  No?

Are you telling me that the system that got our new coach into the Final Four is no longer viable?????  That's not good.

Furthermore, I switched to CaptainHavoc for nothing.  I should have stayed CaptainChaos.  Bummer.

His defenses were fine at Texas and far better than anything Marquette has seen since the Phony Cowboy left

Define "fine".  We haven't had a good defense since Buzz.

Ok Fine.  I can settle for good "convential"  defense.  But I still would like to see some havoc...even if just a little bit. 

I could always settle for Chaos.....I can change my name back.

My hunch is Shaka will be more open to the idea of pressure defense as compared to the previous regime

We're talking about defense but since you asked, Buzz's offenses at Marquette were much better than Shaka's offenses at Texas.

Of course, Buzz was never an option to be a coach in 2021-22, so I'm not sure it matters

No,  I wouldn't want the facility destroyed or any innocent bystanders to be hurt.

OTOH, if we have a coach who had his defense outlawed and then adjusted and still has had nothing but Top 40 defenses, it probably means we have a good coach.  ;)

Not trying to br argumentative. Just so excited for Mr. Smart to put his stamp on Marquette basketball.

No worries.  He'll do better then Wojo I would wager.
