It really is. Ball screen motion to force mismatches. Bigs can generally step or roll. They're patient on the roll and use it as a way to get post ups. Once it's in there, the bigs facilitate with their back to the basket as much as they try to score. Two feet in the paint attempts or 3s. And a ton of the 3s come from inside out. ORU basically runs the same thing. Watch them, there's hardly ever a player below volleyball baseline unless it's a roller. No wonder it's a headache to defend.
Why leave? He is set up there. He can win consistently there. Why go to a mid major when you finally get a player they are gone to a bigger conference. The transfers are insane now.
They set a shooter in each corner a lot. Playside guy gets a TON of backdoor layups when his man get caught ball watching the PnR action. It's a motherbear to defend if those guys in the corner can shoot it.
You ever been to Maryville? Lol. Granted, he's from Iowa so he might think it's beautiful. Man, he probably makes what...$100-150K at the most there? He could make 5X that tomorrow. That's a game changer, don't care what your salary is. And guys like that aren't wired to not want to go to the next level. It's one of the qualities that make them so darned good too.
Man...I remember those teams well! Coach Shu was the best!!! He and my grandfather were pretty good friends. Our JH coach where we lived at the time had played somewhere with him and they all were tight. I used to love going to his camps as a kid. "Shooting FT's is easy as shooting pigs in a barrel." He'd just cackle and walk off. Only took me about 20 yrs to decipher his sayings!
I'd say 5 at the most. They'd play their wheels off another 5-10 probably. Biggest difference isn't the difference between NWMSU and Mizzou, it's the difference between Mizzou and the normal NWMSU opponent. Night in and night out, NWMSU is going to struggle with that competition level. Mizzou sees that level of opponent (and better, most nights) every time they step on the court.
They'd sit on a pine box to watch you win but wouldn't sit on a lazy-boy to watch you lose.
I'll guarantee you I've never coached a kid that hasn't heard that at least a dozen times a year during practices. Normally when they're sucking wind trying to shoot FTs.
