After watching us let Seton Hall shoot 63% from beyond the arc, while we struggled to make a shot, it made me think... before Steve Lavin came on board, and before any of us got to know Mike Dunlap; if someone had started a thread asking what kind of recruiting philosophy or defensive system we wanted the next head coach to install, would this have been your answer? Or, in a perfect world do you prefer a half court, man to man, style, or something else?
When Lavin came on board he had a blank slate to mold the program however he wanted. I'm not asking if anything should change, for better or worse this is our identity now. Plus the players are learning the zone, it's Dunlap's forte, and we need it to protect the 6 players we have from foul trouble etc.
But, if we had to do it all over again, would you go with this philosophy of athletic recruits (mostly wings) and a match-up zone?
I think it's an interesting question, because how often does a coach get to completely rebuild a roster and install a system to match? Not often.
