That's one way to cinch up the rotation. :(

Sounds like both will play. Good thing we have depth.

Very informative interview. Always great to hear Bill's perspective. Clear he sees issues with Dave. Not sure if he can motivate his motor up to the needed level of play. We shall see.

From BillSpeak, it sounds like he has a good idea of how he wants to play and has the pieces to play that style, just not sure quite how to organize it all yet.

I can't recall Bill stressing speed this much before... started last year when he spoke about getting this year's team more athletic.

I've always raised heck over our teams playing too slow. Getting beat on fast break defense and not taking advantage of fast break offense. Always relying on slow, set offenses. Secondary break strategy? Unheard of in Lawrence!

I watched the MSU game a couple of times. They were considerably larger than us yet often beat us on speed. Should be no excuse for that, especially with the depth of our bench.

I'm not sure how teams practice for speed, but think we need practice changes to instill pushing tempo. More defensive pressure should help. Perhaps a 3/4 court press? What if we start games with all-out pressure and then, as needed, we can pull it back some if we can't keep it up. It should get our guys zipped up for game starts. We've so typically had problems coming out of the blocks slow on games anyways. That has always been a peeve of mine! Having to fight back in games we shouldn't even be contested on but we let the other team get out first and build lots of momentum that we have to knock down later!

Sounds like Bill is moving Harris to the bench with Jalen back.

@approxinfinity I’m okay with that. Harris will get his minutes

hmmmmm

I mean it's the smartest move long term.

I think Wilson should come off the bench his first game back.

This is what is happening, same starters today.

Starters smarters. Wilson will play 30 and that means everyone is going to feel a minute crunch
