Style: O and D

Anyone know what kind of style we are going to run with Coach Major? Is there anywhere to find out? What does OSU run right now, I just hope we are disiplined and play hard defense.

On O, we’re gonna try to score every time we get the ball.

On D, we’re gonna try to prevent the opponent from scoring every time they get the ball.

This will be interesting to find out. I look forward to an in depth interview with him about his philosophy and X & Os.

I hope these foreign concepts work. They may seem radical but let’s reserve judgement until we have seen the results.

I hope it involves some assemblance of shot selection on offense and some perimiter D

Is an AHC a position a new coach typically has on his staff. I don’t remember Lutz having one until Mox came back, but I didn’t really follow the Niners closely before 2006.

If he’s a Matta disciple, expect good, solid defense and an efficient offense. Curious to see if the 3-ball will be as important.
