Strong Concern?

[BullsFanInTX]

Strong was interviewed at half time of the basketball game. He said, once again, that he wants to slow offense down. This is starting to concern me a lot. Going fast is our advantage. Willie T wouldn't slow down he'd go even faster.

 I have no problem with slowing the offense down some. Our defense is so bad and it has zero depth.

Defense isn't offense's problem.... well, it should not be.

O's job is to score.

D's job is to give the ball to the O

If O does it's job "too fast", D needs to be just as fast in getting it back!

SMH at the thought of scoring "too fast"

When Strong came to Texas, he first brought S Watson over to run the offense, which was a ball control offense, and was designed to help "protect" his defense.

After his first year in the Big 12, he found out he had better score points and not worry so much about playing keep away.

2015 saw the worst defense in the History of the program, while, playing a very slow offense. (Offense was an abomination, including Watson being fired after the first game)

He hired Gilbert to bring in the Bear Raid offense, which was designed to move fast. His first half of the year saw even worse defensive numbers, and at that time, he fired his longtime sidekick Bedford and took over the defense himself. He told the offense to take more time calling plays and the defense got a little better under his guidance, with slower paced offense on the other side.

He will insist that the offense not run tempo. He wants an offense that gives his defense time to rest.

That's probably my biggest concern with Strong.. The possibility that he's going to put a hamper on QF and slow this all down to give the D a chance to breath. I'm sure the argument can be made (and probably backed up via game footage) of the possessions where we've scored quickly and then the defenses performance on the following possession being abysmal because of the lack of a break.

Yeah not a fan of this.  I think you should score when you can.

I just hope he realizes this isn't the big east anymore.   This isn't a defensive heavy league.
