Having said that the players surrounding Ochefu are big.
Maybe not tall as you would like, but big.
Heck, Jenkins is a 6-6, 240 brickhouse.
Hart is 6-6, Bridges is a 6-7 guard - even the 'smallest' players are all 6-3 - Arcidiacono, Booth, Brunson.
By the stringent definition of small ball, the 2008 team was small ball - Dorsey was a 6-7 center and Dozier a 6-9 forward who could play the perimeter.
So Nova's 4 man wasn't a 6-4 170 lb guy who couldn't dribble or shoot ?
If Kris Jenkins walked into an alley to fight Josh Pastner, Nick Marshall and Shaq Goodwin, only Jenkins is walking out.
That's where you're wrong.
But sounds good. I suppose.

Villanova won despite not having a projected 1st round NBA or a McDonald's All-American.
I was thinking about this, too, so I looked it up. Brunson was a McD's AA last year, but the rest of their guys are mainly 4* recruits. Contrast that with the fact that UNC's entire roster is pretty much McD's AA's. Just goes to show you what a good coach can do with the right players to fit his system.

You always wait for the exact moment doe
And completely spinning the main point, which is toughness, which is about coaching.
I remember another poster that always spun the main point as well...
probably just a coincidence - that poster was banned
Trying to decide which is worse - a person who may or may not have been a poster, or people trying to "out" them.
I'd say the worst would be even if it's a different poster, that they have the same posting style/philosophy, which given that they were always wrong yet indignant, is a bad look.

having a system and recruiting players for it is nonsense. The key is to recruit good players and roll the ball out. Maybe occasionally run "good stuff."
Still trying to figure out what the heck this article has to do with us. A team with a 6' 11" center with post moves surrounded by a bunch of shooters and coached by a two-time COY. NTR

Don't underestimate the importance of the "law of averages" as well.

Jay Wright probably doesn't even tell his players they've gotta make shots. What a doofus!
