And said he got a $1.5m roster for half that. He will have a hell of a time getting the kids he signed last week on campus. The money will not be there. You think those donors are going to want to pony up again considering what they just paid for?
Getting all 3 of those kids is a pipe dream. After this sub 12 win season those kids are gonna scatter like rats. Not to mention the players on the current team hitting the portal.
I've always contended that the harder you play defense the more shooting and freethrows will suffer.
My worry is in allowing 80 while focusing on defense.
The reason 80 was allowed was as much due to the offensive problems as defensive effort. When so many shots are contested well or turnovers occur due to pressure, the opponent gets an advantage when they transition into offense.
