defense is on the coach in college more so than the players.
Defense is anticipation and desire … anticipation can be coached to a degree, though some players will never get it. Desire is all on the player.

I disagree. A coach is a leader, and inspires his players to play for him and play HARD for 40 minutes. Being at LSU, wearing that jersey, playing for your head coach, it should be enough. But we consistently see a problem where our players just check out.
Do you think Coach Cal has these problems? Coach K? Bill Self? frick no. Because they are leaders.
Obviously we should hope that these players should want to play hard on their own, and McMahon does too (see Nicholls post game press conference), but the reality is these are 19-21 year old kids with NIL money. The internal desire to play has decreased a lot. The coach NEEDS to be a motivator.

Desire is not all on the player. a good coach gets the best out of guys, and gets them to give their best on the court.
When most of the players lack that desire, it's not a player personnell thing, it's a culture of the program thing, which 100% falls on the coach.
I get what you're saying, but good college coaches can get just about anyone to give a shite on defense. I'd agree with you completely if we were talking about nba players.
