Trent Johnson could coach defense but was apparently lazy or did not care when it came to recruiting.


Trent Johnson's team just slowed the game down. Doesn't necessarily mean good defense.

The two teams we have played play very fast, open games. Most people were impressed with our defense in the UMASS game and I think we played even better in the Northwestern St game.

I think saying our defense is bad is truly a mistake at this point.

For all of those talking about the defense comments. All I am saying is defense is about moving your feet and denying your man the ball on the inside. Blocked shots and steals are about athletic ability. I did not see the UMASS game but the NW St. game was won on rebounds and rebounds are very important and are partly due to good coaching.

The FT shooting is the most concerning. If we need a three pointer late in the game, I believe it is going to be hard to achieve. The opposing coach will tell his team to foul Stringer and put him on the line for three FT.

i hated his man defensive principles. we also ran some of the worst 2-3 zone i've ever seen in my life. i remember when we went to italy and kicked all those italian stiff's asses during the summer and heard about the new pressure sets and halfcourt wrinkles we were working on only for trent ball to continue the upcoming season.
