We have entire off season to talk about next year—but..I wouldn’t worry about style of play- Jimmy had to cobble a team together this year. Long time MAAC fans know Jimmy is a pressing man to man defensive coach. Because of personnel he was forced to play more zone this year than you normally see from a Jimmy Patsos coached team. On the offensive side of the ball we struggled at times this year because of our youth, new style of play and foul trouble. While Hymes-Bisping had their moments we never had a reliable 2nd and or 3rd scoring option- next year I expect Poole- Long and Cole to be our leading scorers- all will average double figures – 3 double figure scorers gives you a lot of reliability – also have Bisping and Hymes that can drop 20 on you anytime, Oliver really emerged this year , I expect White JO and Wolfe all to improve. I think we have seen the fast break offense a bit more the last month or so as the freshmen get more comfortable at D1 and more seasoned we will get more ‘easy’ buckets next year
