As a D3 guy myself, I find 'The System' to be very interesting.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinnell_System

The Grinnell coach designed this as fun way to play at a lower level and one of his assistants in now the Rhodes HC.

Quote:So this became the year. DeGeorge invited the players to his house before the season began and informed them of the change. They would play three groups of five players, swapping them in and out every 30 seconds. They would press like (strategic) maniacs. The would only shoot layups or 3s. They would do this, even though it would be discouraging at times, and even though the game would sometimes look like a layup drill for the other team.

Basically it is a sell out press with crazy gunning and hockey style subs.

I've always wanted to see this at the D1 level, but if you are in town, this is something worth watching.

Rhodes is currently below .500 (5-7) right now, but the SAA is really tight, so the autobid (http://www.d3hoops.com/interactive/faq/n...#automatic) is still in play.

Could you imagine a team with Memphis level talent playing this?

I can't imagine any team with any talent doing this in DI.

Citadel puts up (and gives up) an absurd amount of points, or at least they have been the past few seasons, but I'm going to assume that's just because they attempt a bunch of threes.

No doubt a high major or a mid major would not consider this.

But Lower Cornhole State in the Nobody Cares Association? Why not ? 03-wink

Prob work at the juco level.

Much like Wahlberg and his DDM.

I may go to their next home game

I can walk to it

I'm all for diversity in terms of different styles of play but this one would probably infuriate me, to be quite honest.

Though if for whatever reason some DI program installed it, I think the only way to play against it is to use it yourself.
