I hate the phrase (Physical defensive team). To me that just means that the team that is playing is less talented and less athletic. The only way they can win is by pushing, slapping, hacking, holding ext. I watched the Tennessee/South Carolina game last night. I did not see two outstanding teams to be honest with you. I saw two teams that were just allowed to beat the s$&t out of each other. John Calipari has had some good defensive teams under him at Kentucky. I don’t ever remember a point where one of those teams were considered super physical. The teams were just really athletic and really talented teams on defense. They were able to play defense without pulling, slapping, etc. I think this is one of the biggest problems with college basketball right now. You take a team like Tennessee, yes Knecht is a super talented offensive player. If that team was not allowed to play defense the way they do, “which to me is not defense it’s just fouling all the time and not getting called for it”. They would not even be a top 20 team. During the Kentucky South Carolina game the only thing I heard from the broadcast was how physical South Carolina was playing defense. The whole game, South Carolina was bumping our guys off the screens and moving them. Those are fouls that’s not physical defense. I understand Cal saying you have to learn to play through that stuff. That shouldn’t be the case, basketball should be fun to watch. The most athletic and talented skilled players should be allowed to be that. They should not be hindered by. “ physical defense.”
