Screaming Cal? No. That is over played.
1)Will Cal back off the aggressiveness of the defense in an effort to avoid foul trouble and taking risk in favor of trying to just force tough shots and rebound vs creating steals and turning D into O?
2)Will Cal slow it down come tournament time in an effort to grind out wins or will he let the team run and play a little less structured?
Those are the 2 real questions. As to point 1)I understand this in some years when we aren't as deep because we need our best guys on the floor. But with this depth, I will be disappointed if we don't play scrappy/aggressive defense like we saw this week. We have the depth to overcome foul trouble at every position imo. The risk is worth the reward.
point 2) I really hope he doesn't try to over control the outcome come tournament time. I believe it hurt the 2015 squad. As efficient as KAT was, only taking 5 3's (we made 3) puts you at a mathematical disadvantage and forces you to be very efficient offensively when the other team takes 15-20 and shoots an average percentage.
We typically have superior talent. More possessions in a game should be looked at as our ally, not our enemy. The more possessions there are, the more likely the cream rises imo. Shortening the game just keeps the score closer and then a matter of a bad 3-5 minute stretch late in the game can get ou beat.
